Time: 10:15 am - 11:00 am
Location: North York North
Session Type: Breakout Session 
Speakers:

Attendees will have a working understanding of how static electricity is manifested in gas pipelines. A knowledge of how to recognize potential static ignition situations and have the basics to implement a prudent, targeted and cost effective static suppression program based upon a prioritized ranking of known static risk operations. 

There will also be a hands-on demonstration of creating static on a PE pipe, measuring the static with a static meter, dissipating the static and confirming that dissipation with a static meter.
