Summary

The “Retractable Grounding Reel” (RGR for short) is designed to discharge the static electricity of floating roof storage tanks. It is used as the equipotential bonding between the floating roof and tank shell. The lightning current and bound charge will be effectively and rapidly dissipated to the earth upon a lightning strike. Compared with the conventional bypass conductor, it will effectively decrease the possibility of a lightning-induced fire, and make it more reliable and safe.

Due to their weight and the large quantity ordered each time, long-distance transportation of “Retractable Grounding Reel” (RGR for short) has always been a problem. 
Originally, each set was packaged in a small plywood case, but this proved too scattered and prone to damage during rough handling. A new solution was adopted: large plywood cases containing smaller plywood cases. While this increased costs, it ensured stability during transport and was well-received by customers.
