This 12-hour live online instructor-led Electrical Grounding For Oil and Gas Applications training course instructs students on the correct methods to design, install and maintain effective electrical grounding systems in oil and gas applications.
The Oil & Gas sector relies on the efficient transportation, handling and processing of many hazardous and highly flammable chemical products. These operations generate hazardous levels of static electricity. The first line of defence for catastrophic ignition and explosions is proper grounding & static control measures.
Grounding is defined as electrical equipment connected directly to mother earth, or to some conducting body that serves in place of the earth, such as the steel frame of an oil drilling platform. Proper grounding is an essential for safely and reliably operating electrical systems. Improper grounding methodology has the potential to bring disastrous results from both an operational as well as a safety standpoint.
There are many different categories and types of grounding principles. This course covers proper grounding techniques for not only medium- and high-voltage systems but also low-voltage Instrument and Control Systems (IACS) that have been proven safe and reliable when employed in process control facilities.
The increased use of electrical and electronic equipment introduces risk of electromagnetic interference (EMI) problems to operations and performance.
As systems are added, they all contribute and could become susceptible to an intense electromagnetic environment (EME).
Controlling Static Hazards is the key to preventing combustible cloud explosions.
