From Newson Gale Inc.
As we have seen in previous issues of Ear to The Ground, it is well known that static electricity can build up to dangerous levels on conductive items of plant and equipment that are isolated from the ground. If they are in sufficient contact with the ground, any charge generated from the operation or process will be safely dissipated before it can reach levels hat could give rise to an uncontrolled discharge. Any process involving relative movement will generate static electricity by contact and separation of the materials involved. Examples of processes that give rise to static electricity are liquids flowing through a pipeline or hose, pneumatic transfer of loose solid/powdered products, agitation and mixing, and pressure/abrasive cleaning. International technical standards, guidelines and codes of practice (such as NFPA77 in USA and CLC/TR50404 in Europe) point to effective bonding and grounding (earthing) as the prime way to control static electricity in hazardous areas.
