24. Compressed air is recommended for collectors that operate using reverse jet
cleaning. Alternative gases should be assessed before use to ensure that explosive
atmospheres are not introduced during media cleaning.
25. It may be necessary to provide a facility to shut down the equipment in the event
of an explosion (where collectors are fitted with explosion relief panels). The signal
should be taken from the bursting panel detection device.
26. Care should be taken during cleaning and maintenance to avoid creating static
discharges that have the potential to ignite a flammable atmosphere.
27. Earthing of the equipment is an integral safety feature. Regular checks should
be made (annually) to ensure continuity.
