Download or read book Fires in Silos written by Ulrich Krause and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2009-02-11 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Providing many lessons learned from past silo fires coupled with in-depth knowledge from experts, this book explains current prevention measures in detail -- helping to prevent future damage. It covers numerous types of fire detection devices and fire fighting equipment, backed by extensive data tables listing fire and explosion characteristics of bulk materials, color photographs of silos on fire and documentation of firefighters' actions. In addition, diagrams and formulas as well as pre-prepared check lists are included for risk assessment and fire fighting actions. Possibly lifesaving reading for chemists in industry, engineers, chemical engineers, health officers, environmental consultants, instructors in the chemical industry, as well as chemicals suppliers and safety officers.

Download or read book Extinguishing Smouldering Fires in Silos written by Maarit Tuomisaari and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Combustible, porous materials may self-ignite during their storage time in silos as a result of internal heating. The self-ignition process may be slow, and it results in smouldering fires that are extremely difficult to extinguish. Suitable means to fight the smouldering fire were studied both theoretically and experimentally. General heat and mass transfer equations for porous media subject to fires and suppression were written. The equations together with dimensional analysis revealed critical parameters, like the grain size and moisture content, affecting the combustion and suppression process, but they also revealed the complexity of the problem. Experimental results of over 50 tests with varying combustibles and suppression agents were used as the basis for proposed qualitative guidelines on how to fight a smouldering silor fire. Among the potential gaseous agents, CO2 was found to be the most efficient one. Low expansion foam was also found to be apotential candidate, but its applicability requires further confirmation. Quantifying the guidelines required a whole new study on the detection of a smouldering fire. The same detection system should be capable of monitoring the suppression process and-most importantly-verifying the extinguisment.

This book was released on 2013-03-21 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This incident highlights the need for the recognition of the dangers of oxygen-limiting silos regardless of their use and setting. Other issues identified are the need for a hazard and risk assessment process in decisionmaking on the fireground, the importance of site control and accountability, the need for group training in technical rescue operations, the coordination of non-fire department resources and the role of emergency management personnel fulfilling an active role in a unified command structure.
