Dear seniors, I need help with an issue regarding a heating furnace accident
Thread Content
There is an oil leak and fire at the inlet flange of the atmospheric and vacuum heating furnace. What is the most reliable way to handle this situation? Is there any solution? !
No one might be able to answer your question, as it is too general. Oil leakage at the flange can vary in severity; in some cases it can be resolved by tightening loose bolts, while in other cases it is caused by damaged gaskets or other factors. If production can continue, it is possible to wait for an appropriate time to shut down the equipment for maintenance. However, if the leakage cannot be controlled and poses other hazards, it is necessary to stop operations immediately to address the issue. I’m not sure if such an answer is useful. For reference.
1. Ensure a positive pressure inside the tower to prevent major accidents. 2. Gradually reduce the pressure in the pipelines, using steam as a shield, with the priority being to extinguish the fire at the affected area. 3. Identify the cause and take appropriate action
Check the location of the oil leak; use low heat and steam to cover the flange tightly； Angry, shutting down for handling ；
Stop the pump immediately, while using fire suppression steam to extinguish the fire.
