Grounding and Bonding Solutions for Static Electricity

For over 30 years, Newson Gale has been leading the way in hazardous area static electricity control using rigorously tested grounding and bonding systems, serving industries where processes generating static electricity have the potential to ignite flammable or combustible atmospheres.

Static electricity continues to be one of the processing industry’s most significant sources of igniting flammable and explosive gas and dust atmospheres, creating thus static hazards. Statistics from leading organizations such as The Institute of Chemical Engineers and NFPA indicate that at least two serious fires or explosions are caused everyday by uncontrolled static electrical discharges in worldwide industrial operations.

Published data shows that ignitions from static discharges rank as highly as over pressure faults in petrochemical handling and is second only to mechanical sparks for dust explosions.

The major industries for which we provide control over static hazards are:

* chemical & petrochemical manufacturing and distribution
* pharmaceutical & clean room processes
* paints, coatings and solvents manufacturing and distribution
* food and beverage production and distribution
