Well, the economics of the petrochemical industry dictates that the processing of petroleum products reside in very large plants. Also, many of which in situ, in parts of the world where thunderstorms frequently occur. Therefore, a number of reasons why lightning is a particular hazard for petrochemical processing facilities:
