Subject aims expressed by acquired skills and competences
The aim is to acquire basic knowledge about the formation of dangerous concentrations of combustible dust, gases and vapors of flammable liquids that may be present in technological processes, both during normal operation and during startup and shutdown technology as well as in technological equipment damage. The student will be tempted to define the risk of an explosive atmosphere and to apply appropriate measures to eliminate it. Understanding the possibility of initiating explosive files in production processes so that the student is able to apply preventive measures to limit them. Based on analysis and evaluation of fire and explosion hazards, the student will be able to define appropriate measures to limit the possibility of flame spread and fire. Acquired knowledge will be applied to selected technological processes, their risks and possibilities of preventive protection.

Summary
Cílem předmětu je získání základních znalostí o vytváření nebezpečných koncentrací hořlavých prachů, plynů a par hořlavých kapalin, které se mohou vyskytovat v technologických procesech, jak za normálních provozních podmínek, tak při najíždění a odstavování technologie a také při poškození technologických zařízení. Student bude chopen definovat riziko vzniku výbušné atmosféry a aplikovat vhodná opatření vedoucí k jeho odstranění. Pochopení možnosti iniciace výbušných souborů ve výrobních procesech tak, aby student byl schopný uplatnění preventivních opatření k jejich omezení. Na základě analýzy a vyhodnocení nebezpečí požáru a výbuchu bude student schopný definovat vhodná opatření omezující možnost šíření plamene požáru a výbuchu. Získané znalosti bude student umět aplikovat na vybrané technologické procesy, jejich rizika a možnosti preventivní ochrany.
