Pressure Resistant Equipment
The best way to contain the primary dust explosion is to have process equipment that is strong enough to withstand the explosion. Dust explosion pressures are usually within the range of 5-12bar(g).

Resistance to pressure-shock are different to normal operation pressures, a pressure-shock will be short lasted as opposed to high operating pressures which may need to be upheld for months at a time. Designing the plant item as though it were a pressure vessel will cause it to be very expensive and beyond what will probably be called for. Most vessels at risk of dust explosion are designed so that under the maximum pressure in an explosion they will distort, but not rupture. Occasionally if the risk of a dust explosion is very high, the vessel may be built to withstand the pressure of the entire explosion as though it were continuous.
