How to prevent static electricity in hazardous chemical storage tank areas?
Petroleum industry chemical electrostatic grounding design specifications http://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-138966-1-1.html
Our approach is to set up electrostatic touch balls at the entrance of the tank area and require people entering to touch them to eliminate static electricity.
The methods we adopt include: Weld the ground wire of the equipment ； Electrostatic bridging between valves and flanges ； Set up the static eliminator and eliminate static electricity with one touch ； Install a static alarm.
According to the "Design Code for Electrostatic Grounding in the Petroleum Industry and Chemical Industry", 1. Do a good job in bridging anti-static tapes between pipeline tanks and flanges between loading and unloading facilities, and conduct regular inspections and maintenance. 2. Make sure the tanks are reliably grounded. 3. Do a good job in the design, layout, inspection and maintenance of lightning protection facilities in the tank area. 4. Stay away from high-voltage power stations, wires, and mobile phone antenna areas. 5. Strengthen management in the tank area and prohibit the use of mobile phones.
In addition to what everyone said above, the sampling tools we use are anti-static and are in reliable contact with the tank.
I also have this electrostatic touch ball installed on my device, but it’s so cold in winter! ! Are the people who enter willing to touch it? ? This depends on consciousness! ! How to supervise? ? Although you are responsible for yourself.
In addition, wear anti-static work clothes.
