Video - Inferno: Dust Explosion at Imperial Sugar

This month is the four year anniversary of the deadly combustible dust explosion at Imperial Sugar Refinery in Georgia. We wanted to depart from our dust collection series this week to remember the 14 employees that were fatally burned. This explosion was preventable and sadly there have been many more deadly combustible dust explosions elsewhere since.

This video is part of a safety video series put out by the CSB (U.S. Chemical and Safety Board). The video report contains footage, animations, and interviews surrounding that investigation and details of how the explosions happened.

About Our Blog

We understand that nobody ever buys an industrial dust, mist or fume collector because they want to; they do because they have to.

Between worker safety, equipment protection, new NFPA regulations, OSHA compliance, and the threat of factory dust explosions, do you really have a choice?

You may ask yourself... which collection system should I buy? From who? How are they sized? Which are the most efficient and reliable? Easiest to maintain? What regulations do I have to meet?

All these are common concerns that this blog was created to answer. We want to share relevant industry news that might be helpful to you if you are researching and gathering information about industrial dust, mist or fume collectors.
