Lightning Protection for Bio-Gas Facilities
Lighting Protection
Bio-gas plants are highly sensitive environments where safety is paramount. Due to the presence of flammable gases, a single lightning strike can cause catastrophic damage, fires, explosions, and operational failures. Lightning protection installed to BS62305:2012 is essential to safeguarding bio-gas facilities from these risks.
At Earthing Equipment Supplies Southern Ltd, we specialize in designing and implementing robust lightning protection systems specifically for bio-gas plants. With nearly 45 years of experience, we ensure the sites are fully protected against electrical surges, direct strikes, and grounding failures.
Why Bio-Gas Facilities Need Lightning Protection
We are accreditated
Bio-gas plants operate with highly combustible materials, making them particularly vulnerable to lightning-related hazards. A well-designed
lightning protection system:
✔ Prevents structural damage from direct lightning strikes
✔ Reduces fire and explosion risks by safely channelling electrical
energy into the ground
✔ Protects critical equipment from electrical surges
✔ Ensures compliance with British safety standards
✔ Provides operational continuity, preventing downtime and financial
losses
We have been full ATLAS members for 40 years and have current ATLAS design certification
