I have a company wanting to use Microspheres (MSDS below) in a process they are possibly looking to begin doing. They understand they need to build a separate room for them to be stored and have explosion protection in-place for electric and ventilation, but are wondering how much they can store. I am having a hard time determining how to classify them so they know how much they can store and have in use at one time and the parameters for storage. I am told these are used in other places around the US. Very preliminary at this point, but they are trying to be proactive.
Anyone encounter these or have any insight? I will also be reaching out to the company that manufactures these to see what they have, but thought I would work both ends. I originally was thinking unstable materials but I am not certain that is the correct classification. NFPA 654 mentions a performance based design option which will involve a FPE to do an analysis but I would still like to know the limitations.
TIA,
