Abstract

The hazard arising from the washing of tanks with powerful jets of water is discussed and defined in terms of space potential. Methods are presented for the reduction of these space potentials created by electrostatically charged water mist. Special consideration is given to “passive” systems, whose effectiveness and reliability or reduction stem more or less from their mere presence in the tank. Theoretical work and model studies leading up to successful experiments with dividing wires in a 12,000 m 3 tank are presented.
