Introduction
A chemical plant is composed of a variety of equipment; for instance, there are reactors, storage tanks, pipelines, control rooms, pumps, motors, PLC panels, instrumentation and hazardous material handling areas. Any time there is a lightning strike or an electrical surge, these systems can be damaged or their operation interrupted (due to safety issues) as well as impacting the continuity of operations. A properly designed and installed lightning protection system will mitigate against the risk of equipment damage, downtime, electrical surges and disruption to operations at a chemical plant.
