Reducing the Risk of Explosions with Curtain Walls

When it comes to facility safety, there might be nothing more catastrophic than an explosion. Depending on the facility, many risks exist, from obvious candidates like flammable gases and liquids to lesser-known catalysts such as dust.

While facility explosions are devastating, they also are preventable. Using proven best practices like exhaust systems is essential in preventing the build-up of potentially explosive air particulate. Facility managers can further improve the efficiency of standard exhaust methods using fabric curtain walls. These flexible walls won’t only create smaller areas for the exhaust systems to work more efficiently, they serve as barriers against the spread of air particulate between areas. Curtain walls go beyond traditional permanent walls in that they are easy to install and can be removed and reused in different areas as the needs of a facility change.
