(1) control the flow rate into the tank
The amount of static electricity generated by the flow of oil in the pipeline is proportional to the quadratic of the flow rate, reducing the flow is an effective way to reduce the static electricity generated by the oil.
(2) to prevent the impact of spattering up electricity
Oil from the top of the spatter filling than from the bottom of the submerged flow of oil filling generated by the electrostatic twice as high. If the filling method of oil feeding from the top is used, the feeding pipe should be inserted into the bottom of the tank.
(3) Eliminate human electrostatic
Staff entering the explosion hazard site should wear anti-static shoes, anti-static clothing or cotton work clothes, and set up human body static discharge device at the escalator of the storage tank.
(4) to prevent the accumulation of static electricity
Grounding is the basic, important measures to prevent static electricity. Between two adjacent metal objects, flanges or joints matted with insulators should have metal jumper cables. Should regularly check the grounding resistance, so that the grounding has been maintained in good condition.
Generally do a good job of these mentioned above you do not have to worry about the use of low-temperature storage tanks will generate a lot of static electricity leading to fire accidents.
