I have a question on what the best method to use for grounding eight holding tanks, 4 tanks having water and the other 4 having 4 oil. These tank also are classified as a div. 1 class 1. Which are used for separating of oil, for the oil field.
I seen where they but a ground rod with grounding enhancement in the hole of the ground rod, in all for corners of the containment wall. Then they run number 2 awg from the control panel all the way around the containment kind of creating a ring around the containment wall, tieing in to the ground rods. After they tie in to the rod with the wire. They then bond all the tanks and any metal frame from that number 2awg wire.
Would this be a safe practice to do.
