SEK-3
Loading and unloading of oil and chemical tankers with petroleum products and inflammable liquids can create a hazardous environment. Due to the potential difference between tanker and pier (among others, by galvanic processes), sparking can occur at the connecting points of loading hoses, loading arms or other conductive equipment. To reduce this risk of energy stored in inductances, an effective equipotential bonding should be considered as additional safety measure.
The Marine Grounding System SEK-3 is installed at piers for sea tankers and inland vessels. The clamp with up to 30 m cable length has to be attached at a flat metallic attachment point on the ship with good electrical connection to the ship hull. The whole system is approved for hazardous areas of zone 1 and gas group IIB according to the European Explosion Prevention Directive 2014/34/EU (ATEX) and the international standard IECEx as well as designed in accordance to best practice recommendations.
Product Benefits
