🔍 Key Concepts

• static electricity generation when pumping petroleum products • effect of flow rate/velocity on static charge buildup in pipelines and tanks • why slow initial loading is used in tankers and terminals

💭 Think About

• How does the speed (velocity) of liquid entering a tank affect the amount of static electricity that can be generated? • What is usually recommended during the initial loading period of petroleum cargoes to allow any charge to safely dissipate? • Would increasing airflow into the tank reduce static electricity, or could it increase the risk of a flammable atmosphere?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option would reduce liquid velocity at the start of loading • Check which options might increase turbulence or splashing inside the tank • Eliminate any option that could increase vapor/air mixing and therefore raise fire or explosion risk
