Grain dust explosions up, injuries and fatalities decline By Kingsly Ambrose Purdue Agricultural rambrose@purdue.edu An increase in grain dust explosions were reported nationally at grain handling, feed manufacturing and biofuel facilities in 2018; however, resulting injuries and fatal- ities were down from the previous year, ac- cording to an annual report issued by Pur- due University's Department of Agricul- tural and Biological Engineering. There were 12 grain dust explosions in 2018 compared to seven the previous year and a ten-year average of 8.4 incidents an- nually, said Kingsly Ambrose, an associ- ate professor of agricultural and biological engineering and the report's lead author. One fatality and four injuries were attrib- uted to the 2018 explosions, compared to five deaths and 12 injuries in 2017. Facili- ties at which the explosions occurred in- cluded two feed mills, two ethanol plants and eight grain elevators. Ambrose said many of the 2018 inci- dents were relatively minor and that the higher number of incidents could likely be tied to an increase in grain production and handling. Still, he said it's important to take preventative measures that can dra- matically decrease the likelihood of grain dust explosions. "Grain dust acts as a fuel for these explo- sions, and all it takes is a small spark for ignition to occur," Ambrose said. "That's why it's critical to keep the facility clean, make sure employees and contract work- ers are properly trained, and ensure that equipment is properly maintained and in good working order." In last year's explosions, the probable ig- nition source in three cases was hot ma- chine bearings and sparks, while in nine cases the source could not be confirmed. Grain dust was positively identified as the fuel source in three of the explosions. Illinois and Iowa each reported two ex- plosions last year, while Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Minnesota, Nebraska, Oklaho- ma and Texas each reported a single inci- dent. The year's sole fatality, along with one injury, occurred during a Nebraska grain elevator explosion. The remaining injuries in 2018 occurred at grain elevator explosions in Iowa and Kansas. Ambrose's group has been collecting data related to U.S. grain dust explosions since 2012. The full report is available on- line at https://engineering.purdue.edu/ FFP/research/dust-explosions.
