Aplicaciones Tecnológicas has protected a company of storage tanks for palm oil with the lightning rod DAT Controler® PLUS 45. This facility is located in the Free Zone of Industry and Commerce of Puerto Barrios, in Guatemala.
APLICACIONES TECNOLÓGICAS, S.A. has managed to certify, once again, its Quality Management System based on the new UNE-EN ISO 9001:2015 Standard. The main objective of this standard is to demonstrate the capacity of the organization to provide quality products and services that meet the requirements of the client and the applicable regulations.
At Aplicaciones Tecnológicas, we have developed projects with Brazilian specialists from the USP (University of São Paulo) IEE (Institute of Energy and Environment) in the field of lightning protection and storm detection.
It is estimated that 2,000 storms coexist simultaneously on the planet and about 100 lightning bolts discharge on the earth every second. In total, this represents some 4,000 daily storms and 9 million atmospheric discharges every day. Therefore, 1.2 billion lightning strikes occur per year on our planet.
