Lightning Protection for Oil tanks

09/13/2007 7:02 AM

Please let me know any oil tank lightning protection technology available? If lightning protection, and strike prevention can be accomplished with predictable results? if the advanced protection technologies have made it possible to totally isolate facilities from any form of lightning or transient phenomenon? Recommend who are able to provide the whole system for the protection.

Hi Roman,

Thanks man, for the site address. But could you by any chance have anything specific on it as this site just describes all its activities and does not readily come forward to answer this question. I hope you follow what I mean.

Cheers.

First, I would like to introduce my self. Me, sales and application engineer for a well-known lightning protection product, namely ERICO. This is an advanced technology of lightning protection related to this active protection to promote protons arround the tip. Those protons will invite or capture the electrons in downleader strike cloud and the current strike will flow into its downconductor, grounding, and earth, finally.

I proposed this brand because we have sales many ERICO to some benefit industry and plant such as PT. Chevron Pacific Indonesia and there are no complaints until now.

Please find out its technology at www. erico.com

Enjoy it ...

Use floating roof tanks with no vapor to ignite.

There is no such thing as 100% isolation from lightning but there are some very good technologies available. We are often called out to protect oil tank batterys. We use a combination of good grounding, proper downleaders, and fuzzy topped streamer delaying lightning terminals which work by dissipating the static and ion charge helping to keep your tanks less likely to form steamers and attach to lightning strikes. We also encounter situations when we reccommond early streamer emitting terminals to collect strikes away from your facility. Industrial strength surge suppression is definately needed on all electric systems. I will be happy to you more information if you send me an email...
