Professor Eduard Bazelian has published a new article on our website titled "In what cases can lightning ignite a gas mixture?" The subject of the article is the problem of lightning protection arrangements for facilities where gas is released into the atmosphere.
In the article, the professor refers to the requirements of the regulatory document RD 34.21.122-87, which contains the dimensions of the dangerous gas area and prescriptions for the need to include it in the lightning protection zone. However, practical experience has shown that including an area of a combustible gas combination in the lightning protection zone does not eliminate the risk of its ignition. Learn why this occurs and what steps should be taken to protect staff on a separate page.
E. M. Bazelyan, Doctor of Engineering, professor.
