Alltec Corporation Introduces GroundGuardian.com
Alltec Corporation is pleased to announce the debut of the new website, www.groundguardian.com, spotlighting our Active Floating Roof Tank Monitoring System. GroundGuardian is essential to the ongoing protection of the Oil and Gas Industry's External Floating Roof Tanks. The new website contains information about the danger of lightning induced tank fires, how the tank monitoring system works and how to get one for your facility.
Lightning is a constant danger to oil and gas facilities. Rim-seal fires are the most common type of fires for floating roof tanks, especially external floating roof tanks. Lightning can cause fires by generating incendiary sparks in any combustible vapor/air mixture present.
The GroundGuardian system uses patent pending, innovative active monitoring technology to detect any change in resistance of the electrical bond between a floating roof and the storage tank's grounding system.
At any given time, there are 2,000 thunderstorms around the world, producing 44 lightning flashes per second. That equates to 158,400 flashes per hour, or 1.4 billion per year, and some sources suggest twice that number of strikes occur. Land masses near the equator receive the most lightning, but lightning may strike almost anywhere.
The GroundGuardian offers you "CONSTANT SECURITY" by facilitating protection of your operations, maintaining a safe work environment, and reducing risks.
The new website contains comprehensive information on GroundGuardian, including an extensive online presentation detailing lightning risk analysis, code compliance and the function and benefits of the tank monitoring system. All of these features can be easily found starting on the homepage at www.groundguardian.com
Company president, Christopher Bean, says, "Highlighting the GroundGuardian System with its own website gives it greater exposure in the marketplace and makes it easier for our customers to access information about the products."
The GroundGuardian Monitor/Alarm is enclosed in an NEC Class 1, Div 1 rated, heavy duty flame-proof/explosion-proof metal housing, suitable for installation in the hazardous environment of your External Floating Roof Tank (EFRT).
