Safety features part 3: lightning protection

All Krampitz tanks and tank containers for highly flammable media have lightning rods Protect tanks from lightning strikes.

This is important because a lightning strike can have devastating consequences. Without lightning protection, lightning can strike directly into the container.

Up to 100 million volts hit the steel body. Within milliseconds, such intense heat is generated that the media can ignite and thus explode.

To prevent this, we are preparing all ours Gas stations with lightning protection systems .

Here the lightning does not strike the tank, but rather the lightning rod and is then diverted towards earth via the lightning rod.

After our tank containers have been set up, the earth rod is placed in the ground and connected to the lightning rod.

The earth rod must be installed on site up to the conductive, permanently moist soil layer.

The gas station is now protected from lightning.
