Subject aims expressed by acquired skills and competences
The object of explosion prevention aims to extend the basic knowledge of combustion and explosion. It is essential to understand the danger of fire and explosion in the process industry and to be equipped with the necessary knowledge to minimize this danger
At the end of the course, students will be able to define the risk of explosive atmosphere and apply appropriate measures leading to its elimination. Understanding the possibility of initiating explosive files in production processes so that the student is able to apply preventive measures to reduce them. Based on the analysis and evaluation of the fire and explosion hazards, the student will be able to define appropriate measures to limit the possibility of fire and explosion flame spread. Students will be able to apply acquired knowledge to selected technological processes, their risks and possibilities of preventive protection.

Summary
The subject deals with the process of burning and explosion of a mixture of flammable gases, vapors of flammable liquids, mists and flammable dusts. Furthermore, the accompanying phenomena that prevent or follow explosive transformations are solved. There is explained the propagation of pressure waves and their effect on the environment under various working conditions. The impacts of dangerous concentrations and evaluation of initiation sources are evaluated together with the possibility of using software tools. The course is complemented by practical applications of explosion protection elements and case studies from history.
