Electrostatic hazards involve more than just the electronics industry
In the life or production of static electricity can be described as ubiquitous, from time to time, from the friction of the hand-to-foot clothing to the flow of dry air, is the root cause of static electricity. The modern electronics industry has already entered the era of high-precision, high-density, high-volume production. The daily output is a few K to hundreds of K, even if 1% of the "accidentality" is unbearable, not to mention the loss caused by ESD/EOS is far more than 1%. There is also the impact on quality, the impact on corporate reputation, etc., its comprehensive losses are huge, so Japanese, European and American manufacturers attach great importance to this, it should also cause our every electronic industry practitioners to attach great importance.
However, when ships and vehicles are loaded with bulk liquid flammable dangerous goods at the port, the greatest danger is combustion and explosion. The fires that cause fire and explosion are mainly open flames, electrical sparks, impact sparks and static electricity. Among them, static spark is one of the most difficult fires to control in dangerous goods, and it is most difficult to find out the cause in case of fire.
Flammable liquids, the most feared is the spark of ignition. The danger of causing an explosion is extremely high. From 2010 to June this year, in just four years, only six major accidents occurred in the branch of PetroChina in Dalian. Causes immeasurable loss of people and property. Although the main cause of these accidents is not caused by static electricity, effective prevention of static electricity is also one of the effective measures to reduce accidents.
Whether it is from life or production, or even the oil industry, static electricity is far more difficult to control than we expected. It is hidden in various industries and is silent. In the future development of high technology, effectively finding solutions to prevent static electricity is a relatively complicated system engineering that requires continuous learning and research.
