Hydrogen can pose a significant risk when potential ignition sources are not suitably controlled.

An electrostatic discharge can suddenly ignite Hydrogen vapours due to it having a very low Minimum Ignition Energy (MIE). Therefore it is critical that all process and handling equipment is safely grounded prior to and throughout transfer and handling operations.

 

Newson Gale is the global leader in the design, manufacture and supply of electrostatic grounding systems. Our product ranges incorporate features such as continuity monitoring, visual indication and interlock functionality, and we have solutions for the broadest range of applications.
