HJ3’s Patented NFPA-69 Compliant Carbon Fiber System with ESD Technology

HJ3’s patented carbon fiber repair system with ESD technology restores structural integrity and safely dissipates static. NFPA-69 compliant, cold-applied, and explosion-resistant, this technology is ideal for high-risk power generation environments.

Power Generation + Static Electricity = A Dangerous Spark

In the world of power generation, safety and efficiency must go hand in hand. But when static electricity enters the picture, especially in facilities handling flammable materials like natural gas, coal dust, or battery chemicals, the risks escalate dramatically. A single static discharge can be the spark that triggers a catastrophic explosion.

Unfortunately, traditional repair systems often fail to account for this invisible threat.

The Hidden Danger in Power Facilities

Power generation infrastructure—from gas turbines to coal conveyors to battery storage units—operates in high-risk environments. These systems are constantly exposed to mechanical vibration, fluctuating temperatures, and airborne particulates that can all contribute to the buildup of static electricity. In facilities where even a tiny charge can ignite explosive atmospheres, managing electrostatic discharge is critical.

When critical infrastructure is damaged or begins to deteriorate, repairs are essential, but the process must not introduce additional risks. Traditional composite repair materials might reinforce the structure, but they don’t solve the electrostatic problem. In fact, they can exacerbate it by allowing static charges to accumulate on their surfaces with nowhere to go.

That’s where HJ3 steps in.

Introducing HJ3’s New Patented Technology, a Carbon Fiber Reinforced System with Electrostatic Dissipation Built In (HJ3’s ESD System)

HJ3 incorporates its patented ESD System (US 11,849,529 B2) into TankWrap™ and SiloWrap™, which is specifically engineered for power generation and agricultural environments where both structural integrity and static dissipation are essential. This is not a one-size-fits-all solution—it’s a purpose-built, NFPA 69-compliant system designed to support continuous, safe operations in high-hazard areas.

Unlike conventional composites, the HJ3 ESD System features electrostatic dissipation technology that channels built-up static safely to a grounding source. The result? Strengthened infrastructure that doesn’t compromise on safety.

Key Advantages for Power Generation Facilities

  • Cold-Applied, No Hot Work Required: Repairs can be completed in hazardous environments without the risks associated with welding or heat-based methods, minimizing operational downtime and safety hazards.
  • Electrostatic Discharge Pathways to Ground: Engineered to actively dissipate static electricity, reducing the risk of ignition.
  • Structural Reinforcement: Restores and extends the life of aging or damaged assets like tanks, ducts, and silos.
  • Explosion Resistance: Built to withstand volatile environments.
  • Code Compliant: System meets NFPA-69 criteria
  • Fire Safety Certifications: ASTM E84 Class A rating for flame and smoke spread, with up to 3-hour fire resistance (ASTM E119).

Engineered for Your Critical Infrastructure

Whether you're managing a coal-fired power plant, a gas turbine installation, or a high-capacity battery storage system, HJ3’s ESD System enables you to meet industry safety standards without sacrificing uptime or risking a dangerous spark.

By integrating structural performance with static control, we help you power through safely.

Power Through with HJ3

When your infrastructure is critical and the environment is volatile, every detail matters. Choose the composite repair system designed to handle both structural stress and electrostatic discharge—HJ3’s ESD System.

Pipeline Dents: Risks, Detection, and Repair with Composites

Pipeline dents are a common integrity challenge in oil and gas transmission systems, often caused by excavation damage, environmental impacts, or improper handling. Left unaddressed, dents can lead to high-stress concentrations, cracking, and costly operational disruptions. Assessing dents properly—considering depth, location, and the presence of gouges or corrosion—is critical to ensuring long-term pipeline reliability.
