Testing of lightning and static electricity protection grounding in chemical processing units
Thread Content
Our company is a petrochemical processing enterprise, and in accordance with the requirements of the \"Guidelines for the Identification and Rectification of Safety Risks and Hazards in Hazardous Chemical Enterprises\", it is necessary to have lightning protection and anti-static facilities. One of them states that pipelines for flammable gases, liquefied hydrocarbons, flammable liquids, and flammable solids shall be equipped with static grounding facilities at the following locations: 1. At the entrances and exits to the plant area or facilities ； 2. Boundaries of explosive hazard areas ； 3. Pipeline pumps and permanent filters, buffers, etc. at the pump inlet. I was wondering how sister companies implement this – could you take some photos? Also, who is responsible for testing the anti-static facilities, is a report issued (by a third party), and what are the criteria used for the testing and the reporting?
The testing of lightning and static electricity protection facilities is carried out by a third party, who also issues the reports.
Sold exclusively by the third-sector company affiliated with the regional lightning protection office
Setting up and testing lightning and static electricity protection facilities is relatively easy; the main difficulties lie in dividing the areas and determining their boundaries: L
It’s indicated on the drawings from the design institute; just check what device he has designated as the release source and measure it using a ruler against the drawings
How is the design basis determined?
GB50058 \"Explosion Protection Code\" as well as the industry standards applicable to this project specify under what circumstances explosion zones should be designated
Thank you! In a few days, study the specifications you mentioned carefully* to see if you can understand them better: handshake
