Petrochemical Industry

The petrochemical industry, due to its flammable, explosive, and high-risk nature, has very high requirements for lightning protection. Lightning-induced electromagnetic pulses, induced overvoltage, or direct lightning strikes can lead to equipment damage, pipeline leaks, and even severe fires and explosions. Therefore, petrochemical companies need comprehensive and systematic lightning protection measures to ensure safe production.

Solution:

As an expert in comprehensive lightning protection solutions, Taihang provides an integrated lightning strike and surge protection solution for the petrochemical industry.

—— Lightning Strike Protection and Surge Protection

A standardized series of surge protection devices (SPD) protect the power supply systems and information systems.

—— Lightning Proximity Early Warning

Overcoming the limitations of meteorological systems that can only forecast lightning over large areas and long time periods, early warning for localized lightning strikes— which develop quickly, are highly sudden, and are highly destructive—can be issued before the event occurs. Based on the warning level, corresponding emergency plans are implemented to control critical operations that could be severely affected by lightning. This helps prevent lightning-induced fires, explosions, and personal injuries, significantly reducing the level of destruction caused by lightning.

—— Lightning Protection Online Monitoring

By accurately detecting the microampere-level leakage current and lightning strike surge current intensity of surge protection devices (SPDs), the monitoring data is transmitted to the management center's monitoring platform. This enables real-time monitoring of the SPD degradation process, lifespan, and failure alarms. It makes the lightning protection system observable, measurable, controllable, and visible, improving the safety of lightning protection and reducing operation and maintenance costs.
