Charge Mitigation for Non-Metal & Lined Storage Tanks Containing Flammable or Combustible Liquids. The problem of internal electrical discharges and the subsequent ignition of the vapors inside tanks containing flammable or combustible liquids is becoming more widespread as the use of non-metal and lined tanks proliferates. These types of tanks are often used to store and separate the produced water and other products from hydraulic fracturing and other processes. Because these products can be highly corrosive, the tanks are often made of either corrosion resistant materials, such as fiberglass or PVC, or internally-lined steel, where the lining is a non-conductive material such as epoxy.
