Carpenter describes its current approach. “When protecting a facility from a lightning event and maximizing its reliability and operations, we look at the direct strike,” he states. “Some of the questions we ask are - is there adequate grounding and bonding; is the facility using appropriate grounding and bonding practices; and third, is there adequate or strategic surge protection?” “Surge protection is especially critical because it protections equipment from the secondary effects of a strike. Although surge protection is common today, back in the early 70s and even mid-80s, you couldn’t buy a surge protector at your local electronics store. They didn’t exist.” “Our company was one of the first to provide protection against a direct strike plus surge protection.” www.intcontrols.com integratedcontrols@prodigy.net (918) 747-7820  Lightning Protection  Mass Flow Meters  Magnetic Level Gauges  Gas & Flame Detection  Boiler & Duct Burners  API Process Heaters  API Fans  Water Treatment  CEMS  Mass Spectrometers  Process Analyzers  Sample Conditioning  Strainers/Gas Filters  Flow/Level Switches  Flow Conditioners  Oxygen / Dew Point Integrated Controls is based in Tulsa, Oklahoma and serves the oil, gas, bio-fuel, engineering, power/ utility, water, wastewater, food processing, and manufacturing industries.
