Fire and explosion protection of coal grinding systems. Part I

Despite the decarbonization trend in the cement industry, which involves replacing natural fuels with alternatives, coal grinding plants are widely used, and the task of ensuring their explosion and fire safety is unlikely to lose importance in the foreseeable future. At the same time, protective systems supplied to the facilities of the industry do not always allow to solve these problems successfully. This article describes the means of protection of coal grinding plants against fires and explosions, the factors on which their effectiveness depends, and the ways to improve it.
