Safety | A brief overview of fire safety issues for chemical equipment in hazardous chemical enterprises
Abstract.
With the development of our economy, chemical enterprises have become an important part of our enterprises, and the safety of chemical equipment in chemical enterprises will be paid more and more attention to. This paper analyzes the causes of fire in chemical equipment, and then makes suggestions on how to fire safety from various aspects.
Chemical products are flammable, explosive and corrosive. The occurrence of fire or leakage is extremely dangerous. Therefore, extra attention should be paid to the fire safety of chemical equipment in chemical enterprises. Chemical enterprises have different sizes of chemical equipment dangers, and only an in-depth understanding of the reasons for their dangers can ensure that nothing can go wrong!
A, China's chemical enterprises equipment prone to fire causes
1. Chemical equipment itself
Chemical equipment needs to work for a long time in high temperature, high pressure, high corrosive environment, chemical production equipment in the design of unreasonable, processing defects in the long production process generated by fatigue catalyst, more likely to produce breakage, the risk of fire and explosion. Chemical substances, if not properly stored and handled, are also prone to chemical reactions, leading to the breakage of chemical equipment, which can lead to a series of explosions and fires and other serious situations.
2. Unqualified operation of chemical equipment
The complexity and dangerous nature of chemical equipment means that staff must have the appropriate knowledge and skills to ensure that fires and equipment safety problems are reduced when operating the equipment. However, the current situation of chemical enterprises in China is characterised by the low cultural quality of the relevant technical personnel and the lack of awareness of safety precautions.
3. Problems of the enterprise itself
The enterprise does not have perfect rules and regulations, job operation procedures, fire safety management system, etc. The fire spacing between the new plant and the old plant is reduced, and the simple plant is not protected by fireproof paint in the construction. The storage of dangerous chemicals is not standardised and chemical reactions occur, resulting in explosive fires, etc. Enterprises usually negligent management, the placement of chemicals is more arbitrary, coupled with the plant stacking clutter, greatly increase the enterprise safety production hidden danger.
Second, how to solve the fire safety problems
1. Safety and technical fire prevention measures
The production of chemical equipment must have strict operating procedures, strict control of the pressure and temperature of chemical equipment, chemical equipment produced under a variety of different pressures should have sufficient pressure resistance, and regularly do some pressure resistance test tests. The operation must be carried out in strict accordance with the process in order to avoid danger.
2. Proper placement of chemical equipment
For example, when placing chemical equipment in the open air, attention should be paid to the location and distance of the storage, and fireproof spacing must be left between. When installing chemical equipment, safety valves should be installed outside doors or in locations away from hazards and close to exits. Extra care should be taken when storing flammable liquid equipment, and safety tanks should be prepared outside the plant in the event of a leak.
3. Reinforce training and safety awareness of the company's safety personnel
Front-line technical operators, who must undergo rigorous pre-job training, provide employees with knowledge and appropriate on-site instruction. Employees can be trained through multimedia presentations, lectures and other forms. Those who cause great losses to the enterprise should be severely disciplined and punished to promote fire safety awareness. Those who fail to pass the assessment are strictly prohibited from operating on the job, and all personnel should be certified to work on the job, so that irregular operation and storage of equipment are strictly prohibited.
Conclusion
China's current rapid economic development, chemical enterprises gradually become an important part of China's economy, but chemical enterprises in bringing economic benefits at the same time because of the characteristics of the chemical equipment itself material, flammable and explosive events occur from time to time, how to carry out fire prevention measures for chemical enterprises equipment is very important, related to the economic benefits of chemical enterprises, so in the production process to strictly comply with the corresponding rules, fire prevention and disaster prevention Inspection of safety matters
