Avantages

Installation

The RGA750 can be easily installed on all types of tanks, whether new or in service, without hot work. Its design allows for quick installation in approximately 2 hours. It seamlessly integrates with the tank, ensuring a reliable grounding continuity with the floating roof via a very low impedance aluminum braid.

Technology

The system features a short, factory-pre-tensioned conductive braid mounted on a self-retracting reel.

This setup minimizes the grounding circuit impedance and eliminates the risk of electrical arcing between the floating roof and the tank shell during storms.

The materials, originally designed for marine applications, provide excellent corrosion resistance, even in the presence of H₂S.
