Question 1024Deck General70% to pass
In order to reduce the accumulation of static electricity while loading petroleum products, you should _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) start to load slowly.
Starting to load petroleum products slowly helps reduce the accumulation of static electricity during the loading process. This is because slow loading allows the static electricity to dissipate gradually, preventing a sudden buildup that could lead to a static discharge and potential fire hazard. The other options are not the best approaches to mitigate static electricity accumulation. Using the overall method of loading only (A) does not specifically address static electricity concerns. Increasing air flow (C) or starting at maximum pressure (D) do not effectively prevent static electricity buildup in the same way that slow loading (B) does.
