Implementing an industrial mining project: noise challenges

If you are considering an industrial or mining project, many assessments and studies must be performed to ensure educated planning. For example, the Environment Quality Act regulates the environmental impacts of these types of projects and forces the developer to meet certain legal obligations, such as assessing the impact any noise will have. This article provides a quick overview of the issues and challenges that must be addressed when planning industrial and mining projects.

Combustible dust: managing explosion hazards more effectively – Part 2

Learn more about managing explosion hazards more effectively in part 1 of this blog article. Imagine a plant or factory that has been operating for many years. Its equipment and processes have been working continuously under the same conditions for all that time. A significant risk will only be identified when a project manager takes a training course or after the company receives an insurance notice, an occupational health and safety report from a provincial regulator (e.g., WorkSafeBC, CNESST), an incident report (e.g., fire), or the recommendations of a supplier or an expert: the dust and powders at the plant are combustible and may cause certain equipment to explode.

What everyone should know about hydraulic balancing

Hydraulic balancing is a process that regulates the distribution of fluids, like water or any other liquid, throughout a system. This balancing helps ensure fluid is supplied to various system clients in accordance with design values. Balancing valves are used to equally distribute the system’s total flow.

NFPA 652-2016: owner responsibility for industrial installations in Canada

The first edition of the NFPA 652 Standard on the Fundamentals of Combustible Dust was published in September 2015, the outcome of a five-year process initiated by existing National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) committees to rework NFPA standards on combustible dust. This standard sets out a series of measures on proper management of the fire, deflagration and explosion hazards associated with combustible dust and refers users to the relevant NFPA standards. NFPA 652-2016 ushers in a new era of risk management for combustible dust.
