The significance of static electricity bonding for oil and gas pipelines, pump inlets and outlets, and unloading line flanges
Thread Content
Now, all the oil and gas pipelines, pump inlets and outlets, as well as the flanges on the unloading lines in the unit have been fitted with copper strips for static electricity bonding during the shutdown maintenance period – is this significant? Have you taken these measures in your devices as well? I hope to receive guidance from all the teachers. Thank you!
By medium: light oil, liquefied gas, hydrocarbons, etc. can experience explosions due to static electricity, as well as issues with static electricity crossing lines.
Static electricity is generated by the friction associated with the transportation of oil through the pipelines themselves.
Prevent charge accumulation from generating electric sparks that could endanger safety.
