Safety Production under Orange Alert--High-temperature News of Chemical Enterprises in Northern Areas

Safety Production under Orange Alert--High-temperature News of Chemical Enterprises in Northern Areas

As of the summer solstice, the highest temperature in the northern region has exceeded 40°C. In some provinces where Hebei, Shandong, Shanxi and other chemical companies were concentrated, the 35°C high temperature line was crossed 10 days ago. The Central Meteorological Observatory has issued a high-temperature orange alarm for several days. And whether the employees of chemical companies under the orange alarm can ensure good health? Daddy's position in 3 jobs, Kaohsiung's career, etc.
Fully care about the safe operation of the device

According to the weather forecast released by the meteorological department, Shijiazhuang and Jinan have become the two hottest cities in the northern region, and it is said that there have been rare high temperatures in 20 years. The reporter learned that local chemical companies have taken corresponding measures to ensure the safe operation of production equipment.

The measured temperature of Shijiazhuang Soda Plant exceeded 10 days ago. Continuous high temperatures increase the risk of high temperature and high pressure, flammable and explosive chemical devices. The factory set up a high-temperature working group. For the special conditions of high temperature during the operation of calcining and compression gasification of the two major devices, the plant has taken cooling measures. Every day, the cooling of the device is inspected to ensure that no hidden troubles are caused in the production equipment. From the day when the Central Meteorological Observatory issued an orange alarm, the maintenance department arranged special personnel on duty 24 hours a day to pay close attention to the possible adverse effects of high temperatures on the device. As a result of the measures in place, the 20,000 tons caustic soda task of the plant will be completed in June.

Jinan Shandong Mingshui Dahua Group focused on preventing ammonia storage and methanol storage. They have specially set up a sun shed for ammonia storage. The external walls of the library are painted with sunscreen and their inventory is strictly controlled. The methanol warehouse had been specially inspected by the Supervision Committee of the State Council's safety committee in late April and was determined to be qualified. All the storage tanks of this library are equipped with temperature-controlled automatic water spraying devices. When the temperature of the storage table reaches 32°C, the water is sprayed and cooled immediately.

In early June, the group repeatedly held joint exercises with the local fire departments to master rescue skills. The Group’s actual production of ammonia and urea in June exceeded the planned targets.

So far, the reporter has not received information on the shutdown of chemical companies due to high temperature and high pressure.

Air conditioners spread to the front line

In an interview, the reporter discovered that among the information returned by the company, “air conditioning” was the word with “high temperature” appearing most.

Several major chemical companies in Shijiazhuang have reported that air conditioning has been installed in all high-temperature production jobs. Heatstroke drugs such as Huoxiang Zhengqishui have also been sent to employees.

Jinan Shandong Mingshui Dahua Group also installed air conditioners for 90% of its production jobs under very difficult funds. At the same time, iced sticks, mung bean soup and other cooling drinks were distributed to workers twice a day.

"We used the air-conditioning!" The operator of Shandong Rising Chemical Co., Ltd., a high-temperature and noisy compressor station, said on the phone. Since the beginning of summer, this company has installed more than 50 air conditioners in various production positions. At this point, the front-line employees of the company all used air-conditioning, in one stroke to solve the summer heat problems of workers since the construction of the factory.

The reporter learned that as the Central Meteorological Observatory promptly issued the humanized measures of the high-temperature orange alarm, the chemical companies also reflected “responsible care” in the heatstroke prevention and cooling of employees. In the past, only “key equipment” of management departments and key positions had enjoyed the benefits of air conditioning, and more and more front-line jobs were now available.

Fortunately, many chemical companies also sent cool to the middle of seasonal workers who had been temporarily recruited. Not only did they send refreshing drinks to their posts, they also moved the fans into quarters for seasonal workers.

Safety is the first priority

At 11:03 on June 21, an explosion occurred in Xingyang Civil Explosive Equipment Co., Ltd., Jiangyang, Shanxi Province. As of 20:00 on the 21st, the explosion spread to 8 townships, 27 villages, and 6 schools. A total of 336 people were injured, of which 174 were hospitalized and 6 were seriously injured. After preliminary analysis, the explosion was caused by the hot and hot weather, which caused the private explosives collected by the Public Security Bureau of Taiyuan City in the No. 604 stockpile of the plant to spontaneously explode.

This is the first accident in the chemical industry in the northern region that occurred in the recent high temperature. The most disturbing aspect of this accident is that non-human factors lead to the occurrence of danger. The northern region is an important chemical production base in China. All inflammable and explosive products are produced. The hot season is a very unfavorable factor in the production of these products. In this connection, the reporter interviewed Wan Shibo, chairman of the China Chemical Safety Technology Association.

Wan Shibo reminded that the more chemical companies in the hot season, the more they should implement the concept of "responsible care." In particular, companies with high-temperature and high-pressure equipment must pay close attention to plant operation. High-temperature operations such as calcium carbide furnaces, gas furnaces, coke ovens, etc. should pay attention to the employees' heatstroke cooling. Enterprises such as pesticides, coatings, auxiliaries, etc. should pay attention to liquid volatilization and splashing to avoid injury to employees. Dangerous chemical transport companies should check the tire pressure so as to avoid high-temperature puncture accidents.
