Award winning truck Mounted Static Ground Verification System improves safety
Newson Gale’s award winning “Earth-Rite® MGV” enhances the protection of personnel and equipment during vacuum tanker and road tanker transfers of flammable or combustible materials by preventing uncontrolled electrostatic discharges. With the operation taking place in a hazardous area, the need to control all types of ignition sources is absolutely paramount however the vacuum transfer process can generate large amounts of static electricity, requiring confirmation of proper bonding to a verified grounding point.
The new truck mounted Earth-Rite® MGV derives its power source from the vehicle battery, and uses certified Intrinsically Safe monitoring techniques to not only indicate a good bond to a static grounding point, but more importantly verification that the ground point to which it is attached represents a satisfactorily low resistance to true earth.
Units have obtained Intrinsically Safe certification for use in the Global Petrochemical Industries, according to the requirements of IECEX, ATEX, CSA/US and NEPSI (China), and may be used in all common gas, vapour or dust explosive environments.
