Hycontrol, Redditch, UK, has launched www.siloprotection.com, a new website designed specifically to provide guidance to prevent over-pressurisation of storage silos during delivery of powdered products. It features in-depth explanations about causes and symptoms of silo over-pressurisation, information on current safety guidelines and informative safety briefings.

 

Managing director Nigel Allen said: “What is clear from our extensive site visits is that there is still confusion among site staff and managers about the facts of silo safety, current industry guidelines and the requirement for well maintained, testable protection systems”. The new website features an extensive gallery of commonly encountered problems. www.hycontrol.com
