In many cases electrostatic charges are immediately associated with industrial processes such as transferring, emptying or filling. They can not only cause breakdowns and damage, but can also spark off fires and explosions. When assessing hazards due to electrostatic charges, the decisive factor is the probability of the local and temporal concurrence of an explosive atmosphere and a dangerously high charge.
Such a concurrence is most probable when the handling of a product leads to both a dangerously high charge and to the formation of an explosive atmosphere. This applies, in particular, for the handling of flammable liquids such as, for example, hydrocarbons or other nonpolar solvents or non-conductive, combustible bulk materials.
