key elements of a lightning and static protection plan
STATIC PROTECTION
ENRG Static Protection recommendations control possible static electricity accumulation that can lead to fires and explosions. Fiberglass tanks, lined steel tanks, thief hatches, and truck load-outs are key areas for static discharge.
We utilize static neutralization products, extensive bonding techniques that create a conductive path between isolated metal bodies, and a facility-wide grounding system which quickly relaxes accumulated static charge.
THE MAIN COMPONENTS OF THE STATIC PROTECTION SYSTEM
- Grounding & Bonding for Static Protection System
- Fiberglass Tank Static Protection
- Poly Chemical Tank Grounding
- Thief Hatch Grounding & Bonding
- Truck Load-Out Grounding & Bonding
LIGHTNING PROTECTION
ENRG recommends that production & salt water disposal facilities be furnished with a lightning protection system comprised of either appropriately placed air terminals or a catenary system. Air terminals are connected with an appropriately sized lightning conductor network. The conductor also bonds all the isolated metallic structures together. The lightning conductor further terminates into a low resistance low impedance grounding system. The catenary system intercepts a direct lightning strike before it reaches the combustion zone and redirects that energy to the ground.
THE MAIN COMPONENTS OF THE LIGHTNING PROTECTION SYSTEM
- Catenary for Lightning Protection
- Air Terminals for Lightning Protection
- Grounding & Bonding for Lightning Protection
- Fiberglass Tank Lightning Protection
- SCADA Tower Lightning Protection
- Steel Tank Lightning Protection
TURNKEY INSTALLATION
The ENRG installation team is trained to install the recommended system correctly every time.
The team does this quickly and safely all day long. Each person on the team is certified for safe practices on oil & gas facilities. The team is equipped with appropriate tools that are safe to operate in areas where the work is executed.
INSPECTIONS
ENRG provides pre-installation inspection, commissioning inspection and annual preventative maintenance inspection services.
A group of inspectors that are independent of our installation team are trained to walk through the tank battery site and evaluate if the key points of ignition are appropriately protected. The inspection data is photo documented for each of these key points and made available for review on a cloud based system. The report facilitates prompt corrective action where necessary, easy generation of work orders and maintenance of compliance records year after year.
