Static Electricity in Natural Gas Operations

Join us for a technical presentation which will address the hazards of static electricity posed to natural gas operators during their O&M operations.
Topics include:
- The 4 basics of static in PE pipe as researched by the Gas Research Institute
- The 4 threats static electricity poses to natural gas distribution systems
- The 5 most dangerous static ignition O&M operations (what makes them dangerous)
Plus, a review of current static mitigation technologies.
Presented by Dirk Smith, President of Ionix Gas Technologies; the goal of the presentation is to help you better equip your organization to address this problem in field operations. This presentation will be useful to DIMP, construction, safety, training and compliance personnel.
