Cement plants commonly use pulverized coal and coke as fuel for their kilns. Unlike natural gas and oil, foreign elements within various forms or ranks of coal present many hazards and affect the electrical hazardous area classification. Clouds of coal dust and coke dust can ignite or explode. Areas where these dusts always exist or would only exist under abnormal conditions are classified by ...
