Fixed Roof Storage Tank Lightning Protection
Innovative and effective lightning protection for non-metallic and internally lined oil and produced water storage tanks
At Lightning Eliminators, we provide comprehensive Lightning Protection to safeguard your fixed roof storage tanks used in oil and gas production, SWD, or drilling and completion operations. Our patented and innovative products are designed to protect your storage tanks from the devastating effects of lightning strikes, ensuring the safety and integrity of your storage facilities.
Our advanced lightning protection systems are engineered to mitigate risks and keep your operation running through the storm.
Internal electrical discharges can ignite vapors accumulated in the headspace of non-metal or lined fixed roof storage tanks containing crude oil, condensate, and produced water. Tanks made of corrosion resistant materials, such as fiberglass or PVC, or internally lined steel, where the lining is a non-conductive material such as epoxy are vulnerable to lightning strikes, leading to costly repairs, environmental hazards, and operational downtime.
Why LEC Stands Out
- Comprehensive Protection:Our lightning protection systems are designed to offer complete coverage for storage tanks, preventing lightning-induced fires and explosions. Using our innovative In-Tank Potential Equalizer® (IPE®) and Dissipation Array System® (DAS®) lightning avoidance solution, we can create a uniquely effective lighting protection system for your crude oil storage tanks.
- Advanced Technology:We utilize cutting-edge technology to avoid lightning strikes before they cause harm to your storage tanks.
- Customizable Solutions:Our products can be tailored to meet the specific needs of your storage facility, ensuring optimal protection.
- Expert Support:Our team of experts is always available to provide guidance and support, ensuring that your storage tanks always remain protected.
In-Tank Potential Equalizer® (IPE®)
The In-Tank Potential Equalizer (IPE) lightning protection design is made specifically for non-metal and lined tanks in order to combat the problem of internal electrical discharges and the subsequent ignition of the vapors inside tanks. Its no-point lightning protection design makes it safer, more economical and corrosion resistant.
Dissipation Array® System (DAS®)
LEC's lightning protection products include the patented Dissipation Array System (DAS) prevents direct lightning strikes by reducing the electric field to below lightning-collection levels, within the protected area. As a result, DAS lightning protection systems help to prevent downtime and loss of assets, while increasing lightning safety for personnel.
