Ignition hazards of static electricity are well known. Static earthing clamps and systems are used to handle flammable liquids, where a single spark could have disastrous consequences if discharged in a hazardous atmosphere. Static charge build-up can occur when handling and storing flammable liquids. To avoid the build-up of static electricity, the ALPTEC range of grounding clamps and cables, as well as the SparkSafe and ShovSafe ranges from ATC, can assist in securing your plant and personnel when filling or emptying portable metal containers, drums, and vessels and for protecting the plant by earthing road tankers. If you store and handle flammable liquids and there is a potential for ignition of a flammable or combustible atmosphere due to electrostatic discharge, we have the equipment to protect your plant.
