In 2016, Osprey Corporation commissioned DEKRA Insight, a global leader in process safety management, to conduct a combustible dust hazard analysis (DHA) on the Osprey Blue-Sky filter for both the American and European markets. The purpose of the study was to determine if there were potential dust explosion hazards that would require the filter to be equipped with explosion protection. The guiding documents for the studies were NFPA 652 and NFPA 654 in the United States, and the ATEX directive 2014/34/EU in Europe.
