Webinar: Static Control and Safety in the Transfer of Flammable and Combustible Liquids
  • Wednesday, March 13, 2024 | Noon - 1:00 pm (ET)

Richard Puig of Newson Gale will discuss the causes of static electricity and hazards in flammable transfers. He will review the different levels of solutions and equipment that can be implemented to protect against a hazardous area static discharge, from using simple mechanical clamps to systems with visual indication and interlocks for process control. Examples of solutions in drumming and truck loading/unloading will be presented. Additionally, aspects of NFPA 77 will be addressed, including the requirement for bonding and grounding, recommendations for loading tank truck and rail cars, as well as guidance for handling flammable and combustibles for toe and drum filling.
