How to Control Static Electricity
Humidification is a process-based measure to eliminate the dangers of static electricity. However, humidification does not control the generation of static electricity, but rather accelerates the leakage of static charge, preventing its accumulation to dangerous levels. In terms of process, appropriate measures can also be taken to limit the generation of static electricity and control its accumulation. For example: replacing belt drives with gear drives to reduce friction; reducing the flow rate of liquids, gases, or dust to limit static electricity generation; maintaining normal tension on drive belts to prevent slippage; and ensuring that liquid filling pipes extend to the bottom of the container or are close to the side wall to avoid liquid impact and splashing, etc.
There are also other measures not included in the above four categories. For example, to prevent harm caused by static electricity on the human body, workers can wear anti-static work clothes and shoes, and taking measures such as ventilation and dust removal are also helpful in preventing the hazards of static electricity.
