  1. Lightning Protection Systems for Wastewater Treatment Plant

  2. Water is a fundamental utility. Its increased consumption is the reflection of population growth and an improved standard of living. A more efficient use of drinking water is growing in significance, especially against the backdrop of increasingly scarce drinking water resources. Therefore, waste water treatment plants are a key element of the drinking water cycle. Due to vast surface areas and exposure of frequently isolated sites, water and wastewater treatment plants are particularly exposed to lightning risks. Lightning protection for water treatment plants involves protecting wellheads, pumping stations, and processing plants, which are highly susceptible to lightning strikes and damage. When any one of these units is affected by direct or indirect lightning strikes, and the resultant damage from surging electricity, you are looking at anywhere from hours to days’ worth of loss of service. Furthermore, the consequences of a strike can be serious ranging from costs of re-establishing the availability of the treatment plant to the unknown cost for eliminating ground water contamination. Consequently, lightning protection systems must be installed to efficiently eliminate this threat and to increase the availability of the plant.

  3. A well thought out lightning protection system is a critical step for the purposes of safety, protection of property, insurance costs, and down time. A lightning protection system consists of external protection, and internal lightning protection. External lightning protection minimizes fire risk by lightning strike and the realization of the Lightning Protection Zones Concept helps to optimize the availability of the installation to a maximum level. To ensure maximum technical and economic protection, the area of protection is sub divided into lightning protection zones (LPZ). Subsequently a risk analysis is carried out for each LPZ and the relevant types of damage. The mutual dependence of the LPZ’s are then examined and the required protection measure are defined to reach the necessary protection goal.

  4. Our lightning protection solution aims to: - Protect your facility, equipment, assets, and personnel - Provide a safe working environment - Provide effective interlocking defense thereby reducing vulnerability of interdependent critical infrastructure - Reduce the risk of downtime LEC installs the lightning protection system in a neat and aesthetic manner while maintaining the national and international code requirements. We further provide a ‘no strike’ warranty on our installations and system.
