Static Earth Monitoring & Interlock Systems

Wherever there is a real danger of conductive plant equipment and materials accumulating static charge within flammable and combustible atmospheres Newson Gale's range of Earth-Rite Static Earth Monitoring & Interlock Systems provide added operational safety for critical hazardous area processing and handling operations.

• Road Tanker Truck and Railcar flammable product transfer.

• Filling, mixing and blending of flammable / combustible materials in Drums, IBCs, Totes, Portable Containers and Mobile Tanks.

• Multiple Earthing of potentially isolated conductive components of manufacturing and processing systems.

• Filling or discharging Type C FIBCs and statis dissipative plastic drums in flammable or combustible atmospheres.

• Monitoring fixed Tanks and Vessels in storage and distribution facilities.

Earth-Rite Static Earthing Systems enable organisations to clearly demonstrate international "Best Practice", compliance with Cenelec CLC/TR: 50404; NFPA77; API RP 2003 and other world-wide technical standards and codes of practice governing the control of static electricity in hazardous areas.

Product Solutions

Earth-Rite RTR	The Earth-Rite RTR is the most advanced system for protecting personnel and plant assets from static hazards during road tanker loading and offloading operations utilising innovative Tri-Mode Technology.
Earth-Rite MGV	The Earth-Rite Mobile Ground Verification system (MGV) is a unique, patented technology designed to provide automatic confirmation of a positive electrostatic ground connection for vehicles collecting and transferring combustible products.
Earth-Rite PLUS	The Earth-Rite PLUS is an extremely versatile system that may be used to monitor static earth conditions on a wide range of plant equipment, including Mobile Tanks, Railcars, IBC’s, Drums and Containers.
Earth-Rite TELLUS	The Earth-Rite TELLUS monitors static earth connections for a wide range of filling, blending and mixing applications. The flexible and lightweight indicator station is easy to install, and can be mounted in a variety of locations within the hazardous area, with the power supply mounted in the local ‘non-hazardous’ area.
Earth-Rite MULTIPOINT	For specialized plant and equipment situated in combustible or flammable atmospheres, with several potentially isolated conductive components (such as dryers, filling and conveying systems), the Earth-Rite MULTIPOINT provides static earth monitoring of up to (8) points with operator feedback and interlock capability.
Earth-Rite FIBC	The Earth-Rite FIBC system verifies the resistance and safe earthing of Type C “Big-Bags” or “Super-Sacks” in combustible or flammable atmospheres.
Earth-Rite OMEGA	The Earth-Rite OMEGA is an extremely flexible DIN rail mounted Intrinsically Safe module which may be used in two different ways; first, as a discrete static earth monitoring component in a larger plant instrumentation and control system; second, as part of a dedicated static earth indicator and interlock system for monitoring and controlling in applications as diverse as flammable liquid storage tanks and drum storage racks.
