Abstract:
The electrostatic charge generated by nonconductive liquids flowing through a pipeline and other apparatus is reduced by exposing the liquid to gamma radiation. In a preferred arrangement, a capsule containing cobalt-60 is suspended in the flowing liquid immediately before the liquid is discharged into a vessel in which it may be in contact with air.
