    The document discusses combustible dust and potential explosion hazards. It lists various agricultural, chemical, plastic, metal, and carbonaceous dusts that could combust. The facility takes measures to control dust such as designing dust collection systems to prevent accumulation, implementing cleaning and housekeeping programs, using approved equipment in hazardous locations, and controlling potential ignition sources. The facility also implements prevention measures like separator devices and training, and protection measures like an emergency plan, locating dust collectors outside, including explosion venting and relief, and using isolation and suppression systems.
