Explosion prevention responsibilities in chemical plants
Thread Content
May I ask which department is responsible for electrical explosion protection in chemical plants, and who sets the rules – is it the Safety Department? Process technician? Still an electrical technician?
Of course, first the process specifies the requirements, determining whether it is an explosion-proof area and what the explosion-proof rating should be; thereafter, electrical systems are designed and selected accordingly.
First, the process specifies the relevant requirements to determine the explosion-proof area and classification, based on which electrical systems are designed and selected.
Explosion protection responsibility? We first specify the explosion protection requirements based on the process requirements, and then the electrical team determines the explosion protection grade using the information provided
The leader has the final say in everything; whatever the leader decides is whose responsibility, that is whose responsibility.
First, the process specifies the requirements, and the electrical department selects the equipment
The explosion-proof rating of electrical equipment is determined based on the explosion-proof zones designated by the design institute; this is carried out by electrical specialists, with supervision provided by personnel from the safety department.
