8.30am registration and refreshments, presentations commence at 9am - event close 10.30amNeil Finney from Derwent James will be introducing Biral...For many petro and chemical manufacturing facilities, thunderstorms and lightning strikes can play a significant role in disrupting operations from an increased risk of ignition due to static electricity, as well as lightning strikes to the plant and process equipment. Many manufacturing and storage transfer processes have to be made safe or halted completely when a thunderstorm is in the vicinity as part of the risk mitigation and safety protocols on-site. Both cause loss of productivity and efficiency for the plant operators. The lightning early warning system from Biral is proven technology to reduce these concerns.Our second speaker will be Steve Bennett from Business of Science.
