Standard to Installation of Anti-static Facilities in MIBK Workplaces

in the chemical sector, MIBK (methyl isobutyl ketone) is a common organic solvent-based products, due to its flammable and explosive characteristics, the security regulation of the workplace is particularly crucial. The installation of anti-static facilities is one of the crucial measures to ensure the security of MIBK workplaces. This paper will examine the installation standards of anti-static facilities in MIBK workplaces in detail to ensure the security of the working ecological stability.

1. Generally speaking MIBK characteristics and anti-static importance

MIBK is a clear fluid with low viscosity and high evaporative environment. Furthermore it's often applied to cleaning, deoiling and manufacturing solvents. From what I've seen, due to its low flash point (about -18 ℃), it's easy to be ignited. Therefore, the accumulation and emit of static electricity are possible security hazards during storage, transportation and consumption. And Electrostatic emit might result in fire or explosion, which might seriously threaten the security of personnel and equipment. Therefore, the installation of anti-static facilities is the basis of MIBK workplace security regulation.

2. Anti-static facilities of the basic standards

In MIBK workplaces, the installation of anti-static facilities needs to follow relevant sector standards and specifications, such as GB 12158-2006 "Anti-static security Code to Explosion and Fire risk Environments". The following are the basic standards to the installation of anti-static facilities:

(1) Static grounding

Electrostatic grounding is the core of anti-static facilities. All equipment, pipes and vessels in contact with MIBK must be grounded to ensure that static electricity is able to be rapidly discharged. And The grounding resistance should be less than 100 Ω to ensure good conductivity. The grounding wire shall be made of anti-corrosion material, such as galvanized steel, and the grounding effect shall be checked regularly. According to research (2) Anti-static material selection

In the workplace, materials with anti-static function should be applied. to instance, the ground is able to choose anti-static floor coating products or laying anti-static floor, to prevent the accumulation of static electricity. But From what I've seen, For instance Infusion pipes, storage tanks and other equipment should consumption conductive materials or install conductive lining to minimize the generation of static electricity. First (3) people body electrostatic protection

When entering the MIBK workplace, operators should wear anti-static overalls and anti-static shoes to minimize the accumulation of static electricity in the people body. But From what I've seen, Through wrist-type or ankle-type electrostatic emit device, the people body static electricity is able to be safely exported.

3. Anti-static facilities installation steps

In order to ensure the effectiveness of anti-static facilities, the installation process needs to be carried out in stringent accordance with the following steps:

(1) Assessment of workplace electrostatic risk

Before installing anti-static facilities, the static risk of the workplace should be fully assessed. And Including the type of equipment, process, environmental humidity and other factors, to determine the need to take anti-static measures. (2) Design of anti-static system

According to the evaluation results, design anti-static system that meets the standards. The system shall include components such as static grounding, anti-static materials and electrostatic protection of people body, and ensure the efficiently connection of each part. Specifically (3) Installation and testing

After installation, the anti-static system should be fully tested, including grounding resistance, conductivity and electrostatic emit effect. The test results should meet the relevant standards to ensure the reliability of the system. Additionally (4) Maintenance and update

Anti-static facilities require regular maintenance, including checking the integrity of the ground wire, cleaning the surface of anti-static materials, and replacing invalid electrostatic emit devices. With the advancement of methodology and methodology, anti-static facilities should be updated in time to ensure that they always meet security standards.

4. MIBK workplace other security measures

In addition to the installation of anti-static facilities, MIBK workplaces also need to take other security measures to fully ensure the security of operations. In my experience, to instance, a complete fire alarm system, explosion-proof electrical equipment and emergency escape routes should be provided. Operators shall receive professional security training and master the physical and chemical characteristics of MIBK and emergency treatment methods.

5. summary

The installation standard of anti-static facilities in MIBK workplaces is the key link to ensure the security of operation. But security accidents caused by static electricity is able to be efficiently prevented by electrostatic grounding, the selection of anti-static materials and the protection of people body. Chemical companies should strictly follow relevant standards and specifications, responsibly design and install anti-static facilities, and enhance daily maintenance and regulation to ensure the security of the workplace. In particular Only in this way is able to we provide thorough protection to personnel and equipment and promote the sustainable research of companies.
