Abstract

Plastic containers present unique challenges in flammable liquid service, as most plastics are highly electrically insulating, cannot be grounded, and can easily accumulate electrostatic charges. These electrostatic charges result in elevated risks of electrostatic ignitions where the potential for ignitable mixtures exists, including unique and different exposures on the inside and outside surfaces of plastic containers. In this primer, four specific ignition risks are overviewed: (1) flow electrification, (2) splash filling, (3) triboelectrification, and (4) charge accumulation on workers.

塑料容器的静电点火危险

塑料容器给易燃液体服务带来了独特的挑战，因为大多数塑料都具有高度电绝缘性，无法接地，并且很容易积累静电荷。这些静电导致静电点火风险升高，其中包括塑料容器内外表面独特而不同的接触点。本入门手册概述了四种特定的点火风险：(1) 流动电化，(2) 飞溅填充，(3) 三电化，以及 (4) 工人身上的电荷累积。

期刊介绍： Process Safety Progress covers process safety for engineering professionals. It addresses such topics as incident investigations/case histories, hazardous chemicals management, hazardous leaks prevention, risk assessment, process hazards evaluation, industrial hygiene, fire and explosion analysis, preventive maintenance, vapor cloud dispersion, and regulatory compliance, training, education, and other areas in process safety and loss prevention, including emerging concerns like plant and/or process security. Papers from the annual Loss Prevention Symposium and other AIChE safety conferences are automatically considered for publication, but unsolicited papers, particularly those addressing process safety issues in emerging technologies and industries are encouraged and evaluated equally.
