Production against static electricity
Coke industry shops process electrifiable, highly inflammable and explosive substances (benzene, toluene, xylenes, sulfur, coal dust, and coke-oven gas). The electrification of those materials creates a danger of buildup of static electricity charges in them and on the surface of objects interacting with them, followed by an electrical discharge which may cause explosion, fire, or disruption of the technological process. Some of the regulations for protection against static electricity do not reflect modern methods of static electricity control. The regulations are not always observed by workers in the plant services. The main means of protection used to remove static electricity charges in grounding. In many cases it completely drains the charge from the surface of the electrifiable bodies. However, in the processing of compounds with a high specific volumetric electrical resistence grounding is insufficient, since it does not drain the charge from the interior of the substance. Gigh adsorption capacity) are generally met by brown coal low-temperature ompared with predictions using the hourly computer program. The concept of a lumped thermal network for predicting heat losses from in-ground heat storage tanks, developed earlier in the project, has beethe cased-hole log data from various companies and additional comparison factors were calculated for the cased-hole log data. These comparison factors allow for some quantification of these uncalibrated log data.
