Petrochemical facilities, refineries, storage facilities, tank terminals and batteries in the petrochemical and hydrocarbon industry are important arteries of individual countries and the entire world. Today, the rigs are drilling deeper, platforms are stationed farther out into international waters and sophisticated electronics dominate the machinery that runs it all.
With so much at stake, companies need to protect them from any unacceptable damage caused by secondary and electromagnetic effects of lightning.
Do you know the cost of lightning protection measures is highly cost-effective when compared to what could be lost?
A single lightning strike on a storage tank holding 1 million gallons of gasoline can result in hard cost losses estimated more than $10 million dollars accounting for the loss of product, the tank, extinguishing the fire and downtime. But, there are more costs involved that are not directly related to lightning, such as, the lawsuits following the accidents, loss of government contract, loss of client’s confidence, and many more.
Additionally, the mean time between failures is also overlooked. A lightning strike can easily siphon off a secondary surge which may not initially damage an electronic system, will degrade it over time.
Even when properly protected with a lightning protec
