Ancient Building Lightning Forecast and Monitoring System

Environmental characteristics of petrochemical sites: Most raw materials and finished products are flammable and explosive substances; petrochemical structures are mostly composed of towers, tank containers, and equipment that are often connected by air vessels, heating furnaces, air compressor pump rooms, production unit pumps, and numerous metal pipelines. They operate under high temperature and high pressure with continuous production. These specific characteristics determine their high risk—disasters such as fires can occur, leading to significant economic losses and casualties.

The impact of lightning on petrochemical plants is mainly manifested during thunderstorms, where equipment can instantaneously generate ultra-high voltages beyond their operational tolerance, triggering safety accidents. Lightning protection in the petrochemical industry is extremely complex and requires higher standards, making stable lightning protection essential. Comprehensive and effective lightning protection is particularly important. Lightning protection in the petrochemical industry focuses on key areas such as lightning warning, direct strike protection, grounding systems, oil refining, oil storage facilities, and surge protection for gas station equipment. The role of lightning monitoring and warning is to provide sufficient time to activate emergency defense plans before a thunderstorm arrives, reducing the degree of harm: minimizing the risk of personnel injury and economic losses.

  There is a complete set of safe, reliable, and economical management solutions, along with proactive measures to respond to disasters. For example, timely evacuation of personnel at risk, preparing for the occurrence of disasters, and putting a series of emergency measures on alert. Since changes in atmospheric electric field intensity are closely related to the occurrence of lightning and heavy precipitation weather phenomena, they are often used in lightning warning systems; Atmospheric electric field instruments have real-time lightning warning signal output functions, with pre-set internal algorithms and high warning accuracy.

1. Can issue lightning warning signals 5–30 minutes before a lightning strike occurs;

2. Remind field personnel to promptly stop or suspend outdoor operations, move to safe areas to avoid lightning, and prevent lightning strike injuries;

3. For operations that may cause significant harm, take appropriate measures in time before a lightning strike to prevent major lightning accidents;

4. Use automatic switching systems to isolate power supply lines from lightning, automatically switch to UPS or start generator sets for power supply, providing protection for important equipment or valuable services that cannot be interrupted;

 5. Provide protection against environmental disasters, such as forest fire prevention.

The lightning warning systems produced by our company can adopt different installation methods flexibly according to the requirements of the usage scenario: fixed lightning warning systems, vehicle-mounted lightning warning systems, and portable lightning warning systems. Based on customer needs, they can be categorized as: wired or wireless. Camouflage coating is also available.
