| Abstract | Transporting raw materials and finished products by rail is essential to many industries. Rail car loading and unloading facilities for liquids, gases, and solids may have fire and explosion risks and must be designed to eliminate ignition sources. The rail lines supporting cars at these stations may extend for miles outside of the process area and can conduct electrical energy into the process area due to remote lightning strikes, downed power lines in contact with the track, and power system ground fault currents. The temporary bonding devices commonly used in loading/unloading operations are intended to mitigate the effects of static electricity ignition and are not suitable for suppressing arcing from these possible high current sources. This paper will use a case history to illustrate how railroad tracks are a source of ignition, and will provide a comprehensive overview of industry standards, design requirements and operating procedures to ensure the proper isolation, bonding and grounding of railroad tracks and rail cars at loading/unloading facilities. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
