Abstract:
This webinar highlights how advanced technology is opening new doors in the fight against fugitive combustible dust, and why prevention, not cleanup, must be the industry standard.
Despite growing awareness of combustible dust hazards, many facilities still depend on traditional methods like filtration, vacuuming, or blowdowns. These reactive approaches fall short in overhead and classified environments where dust quietly accumulates, creating dangerous, hidden risks
Jordan Newton, P.E., SonicAire’s Chief Operating Officer, joins Dr. Chris Cloney to discuss how the latest SonicAire innovations are giving facilities the power to go beyond compliance and eliminate the threat at its source.
Key discussion points include:
✅ New CIID1-Rated Fan: First for the Industry Jordan introduces the world’s first UL-certified dust control fan built specifically for Class II Division 1 hazardous environments, providing safe, automated dust control in spaces once too dangerous for traditional solutions.
✅ More Power, Less Equipment: Introducing the 3HP Fan We explore how SonicAire’s new 3HP fan delivers extended coverage with fewer units, helping facilities reduce complexity and move dust they couldn’t with the 2HP model.
✅ Combining DPC with Hazard-Class Engineering Learn how SonicAire’s BarrierAire™ and Dynamic Particle Control™ technologies are evolving to meet the toughest safety standards and eliminate accumulation in high-risk, hard-to-reach areas.
✅ What This Means for Facilities in 2025 and Beyond Jordan outlines the operational and compliance advantages of a proactive, engineered approach, offering long-term ROI through safer environments, lower insurance costs, and increased production uptime.
Conclusion:
This episode is a must-listen for plant leaders, EHS managers, and engineers ready to implement smarter, safer dust control solutions built for the future of industrial safety.
