Safety concepts
Biogas plants shall be protected by isolated air-termination and down conductor systems if the risk of ignition by sparks at joinings and connection points of conductive structures cannot be excluded.
External and internal lightning protection measures must be taken in order to ensure safe and uninterrupted operation of biogas plants.
Renowned constructors of biogas plants rely on DEHN's tested protection concepts.

DEHN protects biogas plants
Biogas is a decisive factor for many European countries to ensure sustainable power supply. An important aspect for the operation of biogas plants is safety. This also includes the necessity of lightning and surge protection.
Especially due to their wide expansion, location, structure and due to the use of modern measuring and control technology, the function of a biogas plant is threatened considerably by surges caused by lightning or switching.
In order to avoid hazards and to ensure permanent availability of the entire biogas plant, protective measures against lightning currents and surges are necessary, which are designed according to the acceptable risk.
