Facilities that generate and collect combustible dust during their manufacturing processes must adhere to strict standards to help prevent potentially deadly dust-related fires and explosions. The latest guidance put out by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) consolidates a number of regulations into one rule: NFPA 660 Standard for Combustible Dust.
Capable of 24/7 operation, the BahsonAire fan can help your facility manage combustible dust control and stay in compliance with NFPA 660—without the need for costly, time-consuming plant shutdowns.
Currently, the NFPA has six standards governing combustible dust safety and compliance. However, these are all set to be consolidated into NFPA 660 by the fall of 2024.
Once the new standard takes effect, OSHA will be empowered to cite it during enforcement. Accordingly, it’s important that plant owners and operators, engineers, designers, facility managers, and insurers are aware of the new standards and taking steps to ensure combustible dust control and mitigation.
The BahnsonAire fan is specifically designed to help mitigate combustible dust buildup and improve facility life safety conditions. One of the first fans of its kind on the market, the BahnsonAire fan has been refined through decades of engineering expertise. It offers an exceptional lifespan and the ability to run all day with little need to stop for repair or adjustment.
The fan provides both standard, full-coverage cleaning action, as well as spot cleaning and customized engineering on request. By stopping fugitive dust from settling and collecting, the fan helps promote combustible dust control, making it one of the most effective tools for maintaining NFPA 660 compliance and successful DHA completion.

Tenant Build-Out Project Highlight
When a large law firm needed to expand and modernize its offices, they called on Gibson Electric for a complete package of electrical contracting services.
During the project, we installed a complete structured-cable system, the highlight of which was a data center build-out and riser providing high-speed interconnectivity to the rest of the office suites.
The facility’s two floors worth of data center space features:
Throughout the entirety of the project, Gibson Electric maintained our client’s strict move-in schedule. The remaining 25-floor build-out included:
