A chemical plant is a place where various chemicals are produced and manufactured and is the heart of the chemical industry. Their main task is to use chemical reactions to produce a variety of chemicals that are used in different fields, such as pharmaceuticals, agriculture, plastics, fuels, food additives, and so on.
What are the ways to prevent toxic and hazardous gas leaks in chemical plants?
Chemical plants are closely related to our lives, but there are various hazards associated with their manufacture, such as the production of toxic gases.
Chemical plant manufacturing, the more common toxic and harmful gases are: hydrogen sulfide (H2S), chlorine (Cl2), ammonia (NH3), carbon monoxide (CO), benzene (C6H6), formaldehyde (HCHO), phosgene (COCl2), etc., these gases are harmful to human beings, and some of the gases have a smell, which can be identified by the human body obviously, but some of the gases are colourless, tasteless, and even if it appears, it is also very difficult to be detected by the human body in time. Some gases have odour and can be recognised by the human body, but some gases are colourless and odourless, and even if they appear, they are difficult to be detected by the human body.
Effectively preventing the leakage of these toxic and hazardous gases and accurately and quickly identifying toxic and hazardous gases have become the most important work of gas safety in chemical plants.
How to effectively prevent the leakage of toxic and hazardous gases?
1、the production process: give priority to non-toxic, low-toxicity raw materials, production processes should be closed, automation;
2、set up gas safety protection devices: in the chemical plant to install toxic and hazardous gas detector, detectors carry portable toxic and hazardous gas detector, once the detector alarm, indicating that the plant has a toxic and hazardous leakage accidents, the relevant personnel in the plant to immediately take emergency measures for harmful gas leakage.
3、regular inspection and maintenance equipment: regular inspection and maintenance of production equipment, gas detection equipment, to ensure that the normal operation of the equipment, to confirm that the gas detection equipment is in normal working order;
4、regularly organise safety training: to improve the safety awareness of all workers in the plant, the danger of harmful gases, how to respond after the detector alarm fully understand;
5、Make a good emergency plan for toxic and hazardous gas leakage, and organise staff to learn how to prevent everyone.
