Whether in chemistry, energy, food industry, or recycling: wherever flammable gases, vapors, or dusts can occur, explosion protection remains a central issue.
Technical developments, new interpretations of standards, and practical experiences from operations ensure that requirements continuously evolve. Events like the Essen Explosion Protection Days therefore provide a good opportunity to refresh knowledge and discuss current developments firsthand.
Contents of the event
The conference is aimed at operators, planners, safety officers, and professionals in explosion protection and covers, among other things:
current legal framework conditions
practical implementation of explosion protection concepts
experiences from planning and operation
technical protective measures and best practices
exchange between manufacturers, users, and experts
A specialized exhibition will also take place, showcasing solutions and products from the explosion protection field.
On-site or digital – with a small difference
Participation is possible bothon-site in Essenandonline. möglich.
Digital participation is undoubtedly convenient — but it has a clear disadvantage:
👉 Those who only participate online miss out on the spontaneous conversations at the edges of the event.
And experience shows that the most interesting discussions often arise there – for example, with theATEXshop team, when it comes to real practical questions, equipment selection, or experiences from industrial everyday life.
In short:
Online, you get the slides.
On-site, you additionally get the conversations.
