What system prevents static electricity accumulation during high-rate loading of non-conducting chemical solvents?
Direct Answer
Option C: Restricting initial loading rate (flow velocity < 1 m/s) and grounding/bonding lines
To prevent static electricity accumulation during loading of non-conductive solvents, initial loading rates are restricted (flow velocity < 1 m/s). Grounding and bonding of all equipment is also mandatory, as per ISGOTT guidelines, to dissipate any generated charge.
