Water Treatment - Surge and Lightning Protection

Surges and lightining strikes can disturb water treatment processes. Water treatment plants are a decisive part of the treatment of water as a resource and require proper surge and lightning protection. With a chain of mutually dependent processes, they manage to filter the toxic substances found in the dirty wastewater and regain drinking water. Various measuring and analysis procedures with extensive system technology are performed for process control. Damage to this equipment can disturb the process sustainably and even lead to a threat to the environment. Therefore, surge protection deserves high priority. The power supply, for example, as well as the measuring and control systems of water treatment plants are threatened by damage due to surges or direct lightning strokes. Surges are caused by distant or close lightning strokes, but also by switching operations (e.g. when switching heavy loads).

The cost of water treatment lightning and surge protectors / protection measures are considerably less than the expenses for the maintenance work to be performed after suffering damage from a lightning strike. Not to mention the costs arising from a process standstill. External and internal lightning protection measures must be taken to ensure a safe and uninterupted operation of a Water Treatment plant.
