Static electricity is so annoying!! The "secret" of eliminating static electricity is revealed~(1)

In most industrial processes, the accumulation of electrostatic charges will cause people to feel uncomfortable, and cause harm to the human body. Even in the process of loading, unloading and transporting flammable gases, liquids and dust, fire and explosion accidents may occur. Especially in some industries with potential electrostatic hazards, such as: chemical, petroleum, paint, plastic, pharmaceutical, food, printing and electronics industries, it is easy to have problems caused by electrostatic hazards.

What are the common electrostatic disasters?

static spark It is easy to detonate flammable liquids, causing human body, mechanical damage, environmental disasters, etc.	interfere with wireless communication Airplanes are electrified by friction with air, moisture, dust, etc., resulting in interference with radio communications.	electrostatic adsorption of dust The electrostatic adsorption of dust results in poor or impure products during the packaging process.

Static hazard prevention methods can be divided into five types: grounding, increasing humidity, limiting speed, antistatic materials, and static eliminators. In the industrial manufacturing process, due to the different operating environments, procedures and materials, the implementation of electrostatic hazard prevention methods will also be different.

There is no single method of electrostatic hazard prevention that can be applied to all industrial processes or situations.
Sometimes two or more electrostatic hazard prevention methods are used at the same time.

1. Ground

2. Increase humidity

3. Antistatic material

4. Static eliminator

5. Speed limit

Grounding is the most efficient and economical method. During the process, static electricity is generated by friction, induction or conduction. If the charge is accumulated on metal equipment, conductive products or people's bodies that are insulated from the ground, the accumulated charge will release energy in one discharge.
