I have a tire mfg facility with a room dedicated to the storage of sulfur. They store it on encapsulated pallets on the floor, it is bagged and stacked like you'd see landscape materials at your local home improvement store. Never more than a single pallet load high, impeccable housekeeping. Combustible dust under normal conditions doesn't seem to be an issue, but we're having a problem getting a sprinkler design consensus with the owner. Anyone have experience with a room like this? Our concern is a heavy density fire protection system could potentially create a hazard by helping stir up the dust once a fire started etc.
