Due to overwhelming demand, the Wood Pellet Association of Canada and FutureMetrics, along with Itochu, and media sponsor Canadian Biomass, are holding a second safety workshop in Tokyo, Japan, on May 9, 2024, addressing the risks, prevention, and responses to fires in biomass handling and storage.
Building on the valuable insights from the first workshop, this event will feature new information. This includes an in-depth exploration of biomass handling and various storage methods and an introduction to bow-tie analysis, a cutting-edge approach to systematically assessing the hazards of handling and storing biomass.
“Safer Biomass Handling and Storage: Preventing Fire and Explosions” is an important workshop for anyone in the biomass industry using biomass fuels such as wood pellets, wood chips, and PKS. It is also highly relevant to first responders who may be called out to respond to fires.
Topics will include considerations for handling and storing biomass, causes of fires and explosions, ignition prevention, firefighting techniques and procedures, personnel safety, fire prevention methods, first responder training, case studies, and hazard analysis methods.
