Monitoring system for tanker loading & unloading
Application
This advanced static grounding system is engineered to prevent static electricity accumulation and discharge during the loading and unloading of tankers across various sectors, including petrochemical, chemical, and energy industries. It is ideal for use at refineries, gas terminals, and during the handling of truck, rail, ship, or barrel tanks.
Core functions:
-
Ensure continuous grounding between the loading/unloading site and any mobile tank throughout the operation.
-
Real-time monitoring of the static grounding path. Any disconnection automatically triggers an electromechanical relay to stop fuel transfer, preventing hazardous incidents.
-
One-time tanker grounding verification upon connection, ensuring safety before operations begin.
Key Benefits
-
Maximum Safety: Features a dual-safety mechanism with continuous monitoring and unique tanker verification to eliminate static discharge risks.
-
Error Prevention: Operates only when both safety checks are satisfied, minimizing the risk of human error.
-
User-Friendly Interface: Visual indicators confirm proper tanker-to-earth connection, guiding operators with ease.
-
Plug & Play Design: Includes a durable bronze grounding clamp, coiled cable, and cable gland for quick setup. Extendable up to 15 meters.
-
Smart Control Integration: Equipped with internal voltage-free switch contacts. When the system is ON, it can interlock with pumps, loading systems, valves, or alarms. When OFF, the circuit grounds through a high-resistance path to minimize spark hazards.
Optimize your loading operations with reliable grounding safety
Prevent static discharge, protect personnel, and ensure seamless tanker operations with our static grounding monitoring system. Ideal for critical applications across the chemical, petrochemical, and energy logistics sectors.
