Visit To Dangerous Goods Chemical Stores In Wenzhou Port Area

Wenzhou port petrochemical storage Co., Ltd. is Wenzhou's largest storage base for liquid chemical products. Yesterday afternoon, reporters visited and learned how to store dangerous chemicals safely.

You must turn off your cell phone when you enter the operation area.

No chemical fibre clothing is allowed.

Wenzhou port petrochemical storage Co., Ltd. is located in Wenzhou Longwan port Donggang petrochemical terminal, funded by Wenzhou Port Group Co., Ltd., Huafeng Group Co., Ltd., Wenzhou energy raw materials development company.

The company mainly engaged in oil products, liquid chemicals handling and storage business.

Under the guidance of Hu Qian, general manager of the company, the reporter went into the storage area, filling area, wharf loading area and other production areas.

Outside the company's liquid chemical storage area, a red warning sign can be seen far from the entrance.

"It is forbidden to wear chemical fiber clothing, no shoes to wear, no seeds to carry."

Hu Qian said, "chemical fiber clothing is easy to generate static electricity, and it is possible for a spike to produce sparks while walking and in the ground."

"Cell phones are prohibited in the operation area."

As soon as he reached the entrance, Hu Qian took out his cell phone from his pocket, pressed the power button and turned off the phone.

At the entrance of the storage tank, there are 1.5 high static elimination balls. Workers should press their hands on the stainless steel balls before removing the static electricity.

The factory area, which covers an area of about 60 mu, occupies more than half of the tank farm, and stands in rows of tall storage tanks.

"We have 32 tanks, and the total capacity of the tanks is close to 40000 cubic meters."

Hu Qian said that liquid chemicals in storage tanks, including butanone, ethyl acetate, methyl acetate and two chloroethane, are all commonly used hazardous chemicals, which are mainly used in leather, button, printing, textile and other industries in our city.

The raw materials are pported to the Longdong wharf by traders and pported to the storage tank area through pipes, and eventually distributed to enterprises through tank cars.

Port petrochemical storage company is equivalent to a public storage base, responsible for warehousing, loading and unloading business.

Inspection equipment is installed near storage tank.

An alarm is issued when a leak is detected.

Most liquid chemicals in storage tanks are volatile. Once a leak occurs, a fire or explosion may occur in the open fire. Therefore, the most important equipment in the factory area is the fire fighting facilities.

"Apart from the conventional fire hydrants, there is a foam water dual purpose fire hydrant at every distance in the factory area. The range of these fire hydrants can intersect and cover all important areas."

Hu Qian said, there are also independent fire fighting facilities in the factory area, equipped with 3 large fire pumps. Once an accident occurs, they can be quickly activated and provide power for fire hydrant water supply.

After the fire facilities room, 5 fire pools store 1000 cubic meters of fire water throughout the year.

In the air foam equipment, there are also fire-fighting froth which is stored all the year round. "There are 8 cubic meters in total, these bubbles have a shelf life of only two years, all of them will be replaced every two years, and the cost of changing foam is only about 100000 yuan."

Hu Qian said.

Hu Qian said that in order to deal with the possible leakage of liquid and gas, there are air testing equipment under the tank. "All of these testing equipment have been networked. Once the relevant indicators exceed the standard, the alarm will be issued."

The reporter learned from the Wenzhou port and Shipping Bureau that there are more than 10 dangerous chemical production and storage enterprises in the port area in our city. Among them, only the Dongtou Zhuang Yuan Ao terminal has the business of containerized storage dangerous chemicals business, but there is very little freight volume. Generally there is no large-scale concentration.

After the explosion of the dangerous goods warehouse in Tianjin, the port and shipping authorities conduct special inspections of the relevant port areas to ensure the safe operation of the dangerous storage warehouse.

A few days ago, Huang Gang inspection and Quarantine Bureau staff seized a number of animal fur from Brazil, Shenzhen, including 6 cowhide and 4 sheepskin, weighing 32.54 kilograms.

The fur is relatively intact, showing tail, limbs and so on.

According to the relevant regulations, animals without quarantine entry

It is easy to carry pathogenic microorganisms and has high risk of pmitting diseases.

Due to the inability of the entry traveller to provide relevant effective quarantine examination and approval certificates, the staff shall be repossessed according to law.
