When To Use A Grounded Antistatic Bulk Bag

Handling dry bulk solids in bulk bags can produce electrostatic discharges. In a potentially explosive environment, the result can be a damaging dust of flammable vapour explosion. This article describes the factors that create a potentially explosive environment in the plant, how to assess the explosion risks, and one type of antistatic bulk bag that dissipates electrostatic charges using conductive fabric and a grounding device.
