FIBCs are usually made of non-conductive fabric with interwoven conductive strands, which are less than 20 mm apart from each other.
The leading wires have to be connected with less than 108 Ω and must be grounded during filling and emptying process.
Some Type C FIBC are interconnected electrically conductive loops to enable ground through a (grounded) hoisted up systems. When grounded properly, there is no risk of incentives discharge.
The inner or outer surface of FIBC may have a thin coating. In this case, the voltage to the conductive wires do not exceed 6 kV to avoid propagated discharge.
Thus, a Type C FIBC used in an environment with combustible dust and/or explosive gases. There is no risk of these FIBC in hazardous areas, provided they are properly grounded.
The powder and granular material can cause electrostatic charge which in turn can give rise to ignition and explosion of combustible gases.
