Is static grounding required for the alkaline solution during unloading?
Thread Content
Do we need static grounding when unloading our alkaline solution? Thank you!
It’s not necessary. Because liquid caustic is not flammable.
Such requirements apply to flammable and explosive substances.
Alkaline solutions are not considered flammable or explosive substances, so static grounding is not required. It seems the poster is working in a tank farm; insulated heating should be installed on the alkaline solution pipelines in winter, depending on the region
If there are flammable materials in the vicinity, it’s best to implement grounding as a precaution
What was said on the seventh floor is correct; grounding isn’t troublesome at all – as long as you enter the tank area, grounding is necessary
It’s not necessary; only flammable and explosive materials as well as liquid oxygen require static grounding
Thank you all, that was very clear.
