Static grounding
Thread Content
What is the purpose of static grounding in chemical production? Is static grounding required in every place? Are there any relevant materials?:)

Conditions and characteristics of static electricity-induced fires and explosions in petrochemical enterprises. For petrochemical enterprises, the most dangerous consequence of static electricity is severe fires and explosion disasters caused by static discharge. http://www.18show.cn/zt688603/Affiche_1310808.html Oil has a very low ignition point; even a small amount of static electricity spark can trigger an explosion in an entire production facility. The petrochemical industry is characterized by hazardous areas where flammable gas mixtures exist. Some hazardous substances tend to generate and accumulate static electricity. When the static electric potential reaches a certain level and conditions for discharge are met, and the energy of the resulting discharge spark exceeds the minimum ignition energy of that hazardous substance, an explosion or fire can occur.
Everyone understands what static grounding is. Here, I would like to discuss with you whether it is necessary to perform static grounding on the air and nitrogen pipelines in Zone 0 – what do you think?
