Security protocols in the pharmaceutical industry in the city again focused again in connection with the latest explosion in the Sigachi Industries in Pashamylaram on Monday (1 July 2025), where they were killed dozens.
While the factory department is still gathering evidence, experts who observed the shots of the explosion site conclude that it is an “explosion of dust”. He claims that the version of the factories department, which, on the basis of evidence at Prima Facia, explains as a “boiling fluid of the expanding explosion of vapor” (Bleve), which is a technical term, which means that the pressure growing inside the reactor has led to an explosion.

Definition of the textbook occurs when the pressure container containing liquid heats to the temperature significantly higher than its boiling point at atmospheric pressure, causing the vessel to evaporate rapidly and the liquid evaporate rapidly.
Zuber Ali Khan, an expert in a forensic firefighter in the city, refutes the theory and concludes that it is an explosion of dust.
“Dust explosion has five effects. One is a positive wave that explains external pressure and a negative wavefront that immediately sucks it back. When looking at the scene, I can conclude that it is an explosion of dust and nebleí.
While each fire needs a flammable material, a source of heat and oxygen, it is also important to analyze how the fire has moved from one point to another, he says.
Sigachi Industries deals with the production of microcrystalline cellulose powder (MCC), which acts as a binder, disintegrant, fillers and lubricant in pharmaceutical production.
“The production process involves sending hot air to a dryer that sucks moisture from cellulose to turn into fine powder. When dust microns accumulate into a certain concentration in a limited space subject to certain atmospheric conditions, it may explode,” says scientist K. Babu Rao.
The ignition temperature required for dust explosion is very low at 232 ° C and the process should ensure that the temperature remains below the point. Mr. Babu Rao estimates that the energy generated in the sigachi explosion equals 400 kilograms of TNT Blast. He blames directly at the factory department for the release of industrial accidents in the state.
“They should carry out regular inspections that do not. In the case of explosions, companies provide favorable reports,” he says. The report of the professional committee established by the Ministry after an explosion in the SB Organics Limited of Sangareddy District reactor in April 2024 has not been out, he says.
Another pharmaceutical company in the city last year was attributed to static electricity, providing a net company of the company and holding workers responsible for wearing safety equipment, he says.
