STATIC ELECTRICITY DISSIPATION DRAIN AND STANDOFFS FOR BY-PASS CONDUCTORS OF FLOATING ROOF TANKS

摘要

Tank bonding system for tank battery and dissipater used with a storage vessel including an electrically conductive base member electrically connected to ground; a flexible conductive medium with an upper end and a lower end and a plurality of fine electrically conductive metal wires each having a proximal end and a terminal end, the proximal ends of which are intertwined with said flexible conductive medium to be in electrical connection with said electrical conductive medium, said upper end of said flexible conductive medium electrically connected with said electrically conductive base member; and a plurality of static drains located proximate to the highest points of the tank battery and electrically bonded to said bonding conductor.
