Grounding Systems

Spina Group designs and supplies industrial grounding systems that guarantee the safety of goods and people, using high quality components to protect against atmospheric discharges for earthing systems.

Grounding means the set of actions and systems aimed at bringing a metallic element to the electric potential of the ground. It is important to ensure grounding where dangerous situations can occur when parts of the electrical system that are not normally live, due to failures or unforeseen events, acquire an electrical potential with respect to the ground.

Earthing, in particular, protects people from the risk of electrocution, in practice from “indirect contacts”. It consists of one or more interconnected dispersers placed in the ground and a series of earth and protection conductors which connect the aforementioned disperser to the user appliances.

Our Offer

Ground Rods

A wide range of earth rods, such as round section ground rods, T section ground rods, L section ground rods, X section ground rods, ground plates and accessories, designed according to the size of the currents that it disperse into the ground.

Salina Cruz Refinery Delayed Coker Furnaces

PEMEX is investing in constructing two new coker plants at the Tula refinery and Salina Cruz refinery, scheduled to go online in 2024, to phase out fuel oil production. The Salina Cruz cracking refinery, located in Oaxaca, Mexico, is a non-integrated cracking facility owned by Petroleos Mexicanos. It commenced operations in 1979 and boasts a Nelson Complexity Index (NCI) of 8.1. Works on the Salina Cruz unit began in 2022. The plant is expected to contribute to the elimination of fuel oil and the increased production of ultra-low sulfur gasoline and diesel at the refinery.

Coral South Project

At the center of the project, Coral Sul FLNG: a floating plant for the liquefaction of natural gas. The ship is 432 meters long and weighs 200 thousand tons. It also has a gas liquefaction capacity of 3.4 million tons per year and will produce LNG from the 500 billion cubic meters of gas from the Coral field. This historic project will help increase the availability of gas on the global market and is an important lever of Mozambique economic and social development.

Rotterdam Site Development Project

The production of renewable products began at the Rotterdam refinery in the Netherlands in 2011, marking a significant milestone in sustainability efforts. With Neste’s current capacity for renewable products standing at 1.4 million tons in Rotterdam, it currently holds the title for the largest such capacity in Europe. To further bolster its commitment to renewable energy, Neste is undertaking a substantial investment of approximately EUR 1.9 billion for the expansion of the Rotterdam refinery. This expansion project aims to increase overall renewable product capacity by 1.3 million tons per annum. Consequently, the total renewable product capacity in Rotterdam will soar to 2.7 million tons annually, with sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production capability accounting for 1.2 million tons. The target timeline for starting up the new production unit is set for 2026.
