CMCE-AT-120: High-Temperature Lightning Suppression for Industrial Environments

Industrial facilities face a difficult lightning protection challenge. Their most exposed assets—including chimneys, exhaust stacks, processing structures, and elevated equipment—often operate under extreme heat, vibration, and environmental stress. 


These environments require more than conventional lightning protection. They demand a system engineered for both reliable performance and exceptional durability. 


Lightning Protection Built for Extreme Heat 


The CMCE-AT-120 Lightning Suppressor is specifically designed for high-temperature industrial applications. Capable of withstanding temperatures up to 725°F, it provides a dependable solution for facilities where standard lightning protection equipment may be unsuitable. 


Ideal applications include: 


  • Industrial chimneys and exhaust stacks 
  • Refineries and petrochemical facilities 
  • Chemical processing plants 
  • Power generation facilities 
  • Manufacturing operations 
  • Other high-temperature industrial structures 


Its specialized construction allows the CMCE-AT-120 to perform in demanding environments without compromising lightning protection coverage. 


Prevent Lightning Strike Formation 


Traditional lightning rods are designed to intercept a lightning strike and conduct its energy toward the ground. The CMCE Lightning Suppressor takes a proactive approach by neutralizing the atmospheric conditions that lead to lightning strike formation. 


Using a scientifically proven process called deionization, the system continuously balances the surrounding electrical field. This prevents the formation of upward streamers—the critical connection that allows lightning to strike. 


The result is an invisible protective dome designed to remain free from direct lightning strikes. 


Durable Protection for Critical Industrial Assets 


Industrial lightning protection cannot become a weak point in the facility’s risk management strategy. The equipment must remain dependable while exposed to heat, severe weather, and continuous operating conditions. 


The CMCE-AT-120 combines: 


  • High-temperature durability 
  • Passive, continuous operation 
  • Large-area lightning protection 
  • Low maintenance requirements 
  • Proven suppression technology 


Because the system operates without external electricity or batteries, protection remains active around the clock. 


Improve Reliability and Operational Resilience 


A lightning strike can cause much more than visible equipment damage. It can disrupt electrical distribution, automation, instrumentation, communications, and critical production processes. 


According to the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s research on industrial electronics, lightning can produce harmful electrical surges that threaten sensitive industrial control and power equipment. 


By preventing strike formation within the protected area, the CMCE-AT-120 helps industrial facilities: 


  • Eliminate lightning-related downtime 
  • Protect critical equipment and infrastructure 
  • Lower the risk of fire and electrical damage 
  • Support safer working environments 
  • Strengthen operational continuity


Advanced Protection for Demanding Environments


Where lightning protection is critical—and heat resistance, durability, and reliability are non-negotiable—the CMCE-AT-120 Lightning Suppressor delivers everything an industrial facility needs and more.
