Industrial Explosion Protection Institute, Northeastern University

1 Introduction
Industrial Explosion Protection Institute (IEPI), Northeastern University was founded in 1981 by Prof. Deng Xufan. IEPI was the first institute which engaged in industrial explosion protection research. The dust explosion laboratory was setup with help of Prof. Eckhoff, the famous explosion expert and author of book Dust Explosion in Process Industries. IEPI is member of Dust Explosion Sub Technical Committee, National Technical Committee on Working Safety of Standardization Administration of China and member of National Technical Committee 9 on Explosion Protected Electrical Apparatus of Standardization Administration of China.

2 Research
IEPI has accomplished many theoretical and industrial projects on explosion protection, typically, as follows: National, ministry level, and provincial projects:

Application of explosion reaction engineering in explosion protection of bituminous coals, project of Nation Science Foundation of China.

Classification of dust explosion characteristics, project of the former Ministry of Labor. Explosion protection design of corn drying columns of Beijing East-suburbs Grain Silos, project of the former National Grain

Bureau.
