Electrostatic Hazards (11 Topics for Theory)

THIS SERIES OF TRAININGS BY THE ELSTATIK EXPERTS ILLUSTRATES ELECTROSTATIC HAZARDS DURING OPERATION. 

Explained in an understandable way with the help of animations in which Sammy re-enacts the practical cases.

Content of this sam® training course:

1. Filling of toluene:  In this practical case, toluene is supposed to be filled from a RIBC in a metal drum. Difficulties arise as the drum does not fit directly under the outlet spigot.  You can experience what ignorance can lead to.
2. Floor: In this practical case, it is explained why covering foil might become a problem.
3. Hybrid mixtures: How could brush discharge ignite the present dust? You will find out in this training.
4. FAQ: The most frequently asked questions on electrostatic are answered in this training course, i.e. what protective clothing and equipment has to be worn?
5. Personal protective equipment (gloves): Sammy experiences why wearing gloves is so important.
6. Personal protective equipment  (protective shoes): With the help of 2 examples, Sammy learns why it is important to wear conductive shoes.
7. Plastic drum: Sammy learns why plastic drums cannot be used to decant flammable liquids.
8. Plastic bag: Two practical cases explain how brush discharges caused by plastic bags can lead to ignitions.
9. Hoses (liquids): Learn why conductive and grounded hoses must be used to convey flammable liquids.
10. Hoses (dusts): How must hoses be designed to convey flammable dusts? You find answers in this course.
11. Decanting flammable liquids: Experience why grounding drums and funnels is necessary to decant flammable liquids.
