Hydrogen venting from electrolytic hydrogen production
Thread Content
With such a large amount of hydrogen being vented, what are the requirements for lightning protection grounding? How to prevent lightning protection grounding from igniting vented hydrogen! Such accidents have happened at factories ahead!
Has the problem been solved? I’m facing the same issue
You mean when there is a large amount of venting and the flow rate is too high, causing a fire? This is basically unavoidable. Friction can cause a fire; it’s not necessarily due to static electricity. As for lightning protection grounding, it is generally achieved by using jumper wires to connect the grounding wire to the grounding electrode. To prevent fires, nitrogen or steam can be used for fire suppression; nitrogen or steam is introduced into the vent pipes, with steam being more effective than nitrogen.
