The Advanced Lightning Protection System (ALPS) from Critical Facility is a solution that effectively protects critical facilities, locations and assets from direct lightning strikes and the resulting damage and downtime.
Continuous protection against lightning-related damage within protection zone.
Two-mode operation: mitigation (no strike) and controlled termination (strike).
Passive engineered solution, requires no power.
Customized for each location for maximum effectiveness.
Dynamic By-Pass Conductor (DBC)
The DBC delivers efficient electrical bonding between the floating roof and the tank shell, providing a low-impedance channel to significantly reduce explosion risks relating to bound charge and direct lightning strike effects.
Next-generation of EFRT Grounding By-Pass Conductor
Designed for Corrosive Environment
Made in Japan
Industry’s First ATEX and IECEx Certified Grounding By-Pass Conductor
Advanced Grounding Electrode
Advanced Grounding Electrode is an efficient grounding system that solves problems found with conventional ground rods that requires more real estate and electrodes to meet specified resistance and are typically insufficient for industrial uses where target resistance can be less than 1 ohm.
Lower ground resistance / impedance achieved with fewer rods
Maintains low resistance in various seasons and soil conditions
Effectively discharges lightning current/stray current safely to ground to protect personnel, equipment and operations
Cost-effective solution for achieving targeted resistance at large sites or where space is limited with lesser real estate and fewer rods required
Low-Maintenance
Designed for easy inspection and refill
Surge Protection Devices (SPDs)
Critical Facility’s Surge Protection Devices (SPDs) combine compact design with robust performance to offer cost effective solution to surge issues.
Certified to the latest regulatory standards
High surge capacity 600kA~800kA
(8/20uS) models available (UL certified)
Space saving Din Rail Modular Type available to ease maintenance / replacement
