Abstract
A chemical above ground non-metallic storage tank has an inner tank grounding system to minimize a risk of a spark caused by a nearby lightning strike or a static discharge. An anchor is lowered via cable to a bottom of the tank. The top of the cable is secured to an anchor attached to a roof (or side) of the tank. A ground wire is run from the anchor to ground.
