Starch, Dust Explosion, ConcentrationAbstract
Starch is the primary ingredient for food processing, by blending with other ingredients inside the mixer. This experimental study carried out to observe the explosibility of rice, glutinous rice, and tapioca starches, the common ingredients for Thai and Chinese foods. The series of experiment on set inside 1.2 L Hartmann cylindrical, observed and filmed by high-speed camera. The results of these experiments indicated that these three agricultural-food starches exploded violently at the concentration between 747 – 962 g/m3. Since there was no regulatory requirement for dust explosion prevention for food processing industry in Thailand, obvious urgent need to inform food-starch processors to aware of potential hazards and convince the authorities to mandate dust explosion prevention system in food-starch processing facilities.
