Dust Explosion
Torrefaction makes biomass brittle and could result in more dust during handling. Additionally, due to its high reactivity and low moisture content, torrefied biomass could more easily ignite than coal, which in turn increases the explosion potential of the torrefied biomass within mills or conveying pipes. Chapter 11 discusses this aspect further.

DSS055: Coal Mill Safety In Cement Production Industries With Vincent
Power generation typically involves direct firing systems. There is an air swept mill with direct pneumatic conveying through to the burners. The risk of explosions is more or less reduced to an explosion inside the mill, which therefore needs to be explosion, pressure, and shock-resistant. NFPA requires coal mills to be good for 50 PSI.

Mining Feature: Coal Mine Explosion Prevention. There are two main types of coalmine explosions: methane and coal dust. Methane explosions occur when a buildup of methane gas contacts a heat source and there is not enough air to dilute the gas level below its explosion point. Likewise, fine particles of coal dust in the right concentration …
