Electrostatic ignition hazards
(11 practice-related topics)

THIS SERIES OF TOPICS BY ELECTROSTATIC EXPERTS SYILVIA & GÜNTER LÜTTGENS ILLUSTRATES ELECTROSTATIC HAZARDS IN OPERATIONAL PROCESSES.

Clearly explained with moving animations in which Sammy re-enacts the practical cases. So that the spark only jumps over in your head…

Contents/chapters of this sam® instruction:

1. Filling toluene: In this practical case, toluene is to be filled from a RIBC into a metal drum. This causes difficulties because the drum does not fit directly under the outlet nozzle. Experience what ignorance can lead to.
2. Floor: You can find out why masking film can become a problem in this practical case.
3. Hybrid mixture: How could tuft discharges ignite the dust present? This is illustrated in the topic.
4. Frequently asked questions: This topic answers the most important questions about electrostatics, such as What needs to be earthed? What protective equipment and clothing should I wear?
5. Personal protective equipment (gloves): Sammy learns why wearing the right gloves is so important.
6. Personal protective equipment (protective footwear): Using 2 practical cases, Sammy learns why dissipative footwear is required.
7. Plastic barrel: In this case, Sammy has to learn the hard way why plastic barrels are not allowed to be used for decanting flammable liquids.
8. Plastic bag: Two practical cases explain how tuft discharges through plastic bags lead to ignition.
9. Hoses (liquids): Find out why conductive and earthed hoses must be used to convey flammable liquids.
10. Hoses (dusts): How must hoses be designed to transport flammable dusts? You can find answers to these questions in this topic.
11. Transferring flammable liquids: Find out why grounding drums and funnels is necessary when transferring flammable liquids.
