Strengthen Heatstroke Prevention and Cooling to Ensure Safe Production
In order to ensure that the fire sprinkler equipment can be put into operation in good condition, on the morning of July 9, all the staff of the storage and transportation team of the quality control operation center carried out fire sprinkler inspection and dredging of sprinkler heads for the 3# Spherical storage tank area and the East-West loading and unloading station. With the arrival of hot summer, the production work is facing greater tests. The materials stored in the spherical tank area of the company are liquid hydrocarbons with light density and high pressure.
Chemical solvent storage tank is a container for storing solvent products. It is the main equipment of petrochemical enterprises. It is mainly used to store pentane, hexane, heptane, petroleum ether and other chemicals and solvents. The tank farm fire has the characteristics of high explosion risk, easy to form large-area combustion, fast combustion speed, great difficulty in extinguishing and great loss. Fire, explosion, poisoning, asphyxiation and other accidents are very likely to occur during the inspection and maintenance of oil tanks. The oil storage tank farm is a typical major industrial hazard source, so it is necessary to conduct a safety analysis on the hot work maintenance of the oil storage tank and put forward corresponding safety measures. Because the safety situation of the tank farm directly affects the safety production and environmental protection of enterprises.
As the temperature rises, the pressure in the storage tank also rises, which has a lot of impact on production safety. In order to ensure the safety of high temperature operation in summer, it is necessary to use fire sprinkler to spray water to cool the spherical storage tank with high pressure. The fire sprinkler inspection and dredging work created conditions for the cooling work of the device and ensured the safe production in summer.
