Many chemical companies install large screens in their control rooms to display footage from cameras installed on site. Which areas or equipment are necessary to be under surveillance? Which file or standard specifies it? Please give me some advice! Thank you!
No specific regulations; install according to individual circumstances
Some are regulated by standards! For example, dangerous areas and key points that require monitoring; he can decide on his own any other places he thinks need to be monitored. Such as key devices, critical facilities, important positions, etc
Entrances and exits of the plant, various warehouses, tank areas, operation rooms of various units, and corridors in the administrative building. Chemical plant monitoring design_Baidu Wenku https://wenku.baidu.com/view/18708e49c850ad02de8041d1.html
Do each unit currently decide on its own what locations to monitor? Based on what has been observed, level gauges are generally installed on compressors and boilers, at the inlets and outlets of the field equipment area, on the floors where critical equipment is located, and in areas with important interlock valves. However, there is an increasing trend nowadays: the production departments request monitoring at many locations, and since there are no unified regulations to guide this, it becomes very difficult to make decisions.
After much effort, a design specification related to this issue was finally found, but it seems to be rather vague and not very practical for use in actual design work. Please take a look; I wonder if there are any other specifications that address this topic. I hope fellow enthusiasts will continue to share such information! Thank you!
This is how our company operates: the control room, areas with high staff activity, areas that are considered critical or of high importance, locations where highly toxic substances are stored and used, as well as other key positions and equipment that have been identified as having high risks. We hope this can serve as a reference for you.
Two key points and one major issue. . . Set up video surveillance
Entrance and exit ports of storage tanks in the tank farm, missed areas
Tank areas, loading platforms, warehouses, electrical and instrumentation cabinets, important hazard sources, etc
