Swift Response, Precise Execution: Safeguarding Alkane Production
December 4, 2025
On November 12, a sudden malfunction occurred in the reaction kettle on the production line of the Operations Center. To safeguard production and minimize losses, the Operations Support Department’s maintenance team responded immediately and rushed to the site. Preliminary inspection revealed abnormal noise from the agitator bearing, which prevented proper mixing of materials. Without timely intervention, this issue could have severely impacted production progress.
The maintenance team raced against time to develop a rapid repair plan. Drawing on their extensive experience and meticulous preparation, they carefully dismantled each component of the reaction kettle, using a crane to lower parts with precision and strict adherence to safety protocols. During reassembly, every step was executed with accuracy and repeatedly calibrated. After several hours of intense work, the agitator was successfully reinstalled, and the reaction kettle resumed normal operation.
This emergency repair demonstrated the team’s exceptional responsiveness, technical expertise, and selfless dedication. It laid a solid foundation for stable system operations and provided robust safety assurance for the production of pentane, hexane, and heptane products.
