What are the safety hazards of the explosion in Hubei Chemical Plant?

2020 will be a disastrous year for Hubei, starting with the COVID-19 epidemic at the beginning of the new year, followed by floods. Recently, in August 2020, another incident broke out in Xiantao City, Hubei Province. The explosion of a boiler in a workshop caused great losses. As an important pillar of China's economic development, the development efficiency of chemical enterprises directly affects the economic development of China. This fully demonstrates the importance of chemical enterprises to the development of China. However, there are a lot of hidden dangers in the production and processing of chemical enterprises. If these hidden dangers are not effectively controlled, it will inevitably lead to serious safety accidents. For chemical plants, there are the following security risks.

First of all, the chemical plant environment is complex and fire rescue is difficult. The internal environment of the chemical plant is too complicated, and the pipeline layout in the plant area is more complicated. If there is a fire somewhere in the factory, it is difficult for rescuers to control the fire, and the chemical factory has a large number of warehouses. Flammable and explosive dangerous goods will increase the spread of fire and make the whole chemical plant eroded by fire.

Secondly, the explosion caused great pollution. After the explosion in the chemical industry, although rescuers can control the fire to a certain extent, the harm after the explosion has seriously affected people's daily life and air environment. In the event of fire and explosion, a large number of toxic and harmful gases will be produced. These gases will continue to diffuse with the air, thus polluting the environment and rivers around the factory. Once these toxic and harmful gases enter the human body, people's health will be affected.

Finally, some equipment is easy to catch fire. Chemical production equipment, as an important part of chemical production and processing, is very harmful once it fails to operate. For example, this incident in Hubei, the factory boiler exploded. In order to effectively reduce the frequency of fire, chemical enterprises should formulate a complete set of fire management system and rules and regulations according to the actual situation of chemical production in the process of fire prevention, so that chemical enterprises can standardize and manage chemical production.
