Don’t Play the Game of Chance: Industrial Facilities Need Superior Safety Measures
When it comes to industrial safety, few threats are as unpredictable—or as destructive—as lightning. Every year, lightning causes billions of dollars in damage worldwide, disrupting operations, damaging critical infrastructure, and endangering workers’ lives. Yet too many facilities still rely on outdated or ineffective protection methods that only react after
lightning has already struck.
The Smart Choice for Industrial Safety
It’s time to stop playing the game of chance.
The Risk is Real
Industrial facilities—especially those in lightning-prone regions—face heightened exposure due to tall structures, metal frameworks, and expansive grounds. You never know when or where lightning will strike, and when it does, the results can be catastrophic:
- Electrical surges that destroy sensitive equipment and control systems
- Fires sparked by direct strikes
- Downtime that halts production and drives up operational costs
- Most importantly, serious safety risks for workers on-site
Even a single lightning strike can lead to costly repairs, data loss, and production shutdowns that ripple through the entire organization.
The Problem with Traditional Protection
Conventional lightning rods and grounding systems work by attracting lightning to a specific point and attempting to direct the high voltages into the ground. While this method can reduce direct damage, it doesn’t eliminate the strike itself—and it leaves your facility taking repeated hits over time. Frequent strikes can wear down the grounding system, requiring constant inspection, maintenance, and replacement.
In short, traditional lightning protection manages the aftermath
of a strike, but it doesn’t stop it from happening.
The CMCE Advantage: Preventing Strikes Altogether
The CMCE Lightning Suppressor
system offers a revolutionary approach. Rather than waiting for lightning to strike, CMCE technology
prevents strike formation altogether through deionization—a process that neutralizes the electric field in the atmosphere above the protected area.
By balancing the potential difference between the ground and the sky, the CMCE device eliminates the conditions necessary for a lightning strike to occur. The result?
- No direct lightning strikes within the protected area
- No costly equipment damage or downtime
- No risk to workers from dangerous electrical discharges
- Long-term reliability with little to no maintenance required
For industrial facilities, lightning protection isn’t optional—it’s a matter of operational integrity and employee safety. With CMCE, you’re not just mitigating risk; you’re eliminating it.
Don’t leave your facility’s safety to chance. Invest in superior technology that stops lightning before it even forms.
