Don’t forget to rate it after reading. Emergency Rescue Plan Drill Record (II)
l Name of the drill: Fire in the desulfurization unit
l Time of the drill: 3:00–4:30 p.m., May 20, 2007
Location: Desulfurization unit
l Units and personnel involved in the drill:
Command team: oooo oooo ooooo ooo ooo ooooo ooooo oooo
Units and their members: All staff from the gas production, desulfurization, shift conversion, mechanical repair departments, as well as all members of the main shift; a total of over 40 people including 0000, 0000, 000, 000, 000, 000, etc.
At 3:15 p.m., a fire broke out at the sewage discharge point of the ammonia purification tower; the valve at that location broke, and this triggered a rapid spread of flames to the scaffolding used for anti-corrosion work, as well as to the sulfur storage area and the materials piled there (recycled oil was used as a substitute in the experiment). 1) The plan was read out to the participants in the drill from 0000 (the production department meeting room); the main steps of the drill, the division of responsibilities among the participants, the precautions to be taken, and the rules regarding discipline were explained. It was also required that everyone ensure safety at the site and prevent the simulated fire from spreading. 2) At 3:20, the commander-in-chief 0000 announced that the exercise mode had been activated: all personnel were to take their positions and remain on standby. On-site handling: 1) At 3:25, the shift supervisor of the desulfurization unit, 0000, noticed a large fire in the tower area during his routine inspection; it was no longer possible to approach the area. He immediately ordered the assistant supervisor 000 to ring the bell to contact the control room, while he himself went to investigate the location of the fire and the gas leak. 2) a) At 3:27, Xia Hui was dispatched to rush to the desulfurization unit; upon arriving, he found that the fire was severe and it was no longer possible to approach the area where the fire was burning. He immediately ordered the chief operator of the gas generation system, 0000, to lead people to the fire control room and activate the fire pump. The main operator for desulfurization, 0000, reduced the mercury level at the system outlet and increased the amount of circulating water fed into the tower in order to achieve the purpose of using a sealing gas. . b) Immediately call the leader of the emergency response team at 0000, the deputy leader at 0000, and other relevant personnel to report the situation and request assistance. c) At 3:30, the fire pump was pulled out and placed in position. Emergency rescue: The team leader, 000, the deputy leader, 000 000 0000 0000, and other members arrived at the scene one after another. Based on the situation on site, it was determined that the accident was urgent; failure to take swift action could lead to an explosion. Team leader Zhang Nianguo immediately gave orders: 1. Operation team: -----and member scheduling, as well as the operators in the main shift. a. Lower the system mercury column again to maintain positive pressure in the system, while minimizing the pressure to reduce leakage. b. Shut off the water supply valves at all other locations to maintain the water supply pressure, and supply water to the static ammonia tower to the greatest extent possible in order to raise the liquid level and ensure its sealing. c. Inform all relevant personnel to take strict precautions and ensure that pressure levels are within acceptable limits, in order to prevent other accidents from occurring. d. Under compression conditions, it is strictly prohibited to increase or decrease the load, as this can cause fluctuations in the mercury level and negative pressure in the system. 2. Maintenance team: Liu Huoming and his team members are divided into three groups. a. One group is responsible for preparing large pieces of wood to make wooden plugs for sealing leaks, and is in charge of leading the people who carry out this task. b. The second team is to prepare sandbags and stones to block the sealant outlets, ----- to lead the operation. c. Group three——prepare wooden sticks and protective gear to seal leaks. 3. Firefighting Team: -----leads the firefighters and personnel from certain compressed and integrated positions. a. ----Lead the fire brigade members and personnel from some of the compressed and integrated positions to start the fire pump, while simultaneously activating a fire hose to extinguish the fire. b. First, extinguish the large fires at the scaffolding and sulfur pool. Prevention university: c. Control the fire at the leakage point and cool down the tower walls, but do not attempt to extinguish the fire, in order to prevent poisoning of people due to leaks or regional air explosions, as well as equipment damage that could lead to more serious accidents. l Handling of the leak point: Wearing a gas mask, I rushed forward, positioned a wooden stake over the leak site and pressed it in, tightened it with a stick, and then pressed down on it with a large stone that was ready for use. At 3:45 a.m., the gas leakage gradually decreased, the fire was largely under control, and the flammable materials in the surrounding area had been extinguished. The water seal has been applied, but it cannot be completely sealed; the flames at the leak site have weakened to a very small level. The command team urgently met and decided to implement a fire suppression and leak sealing plan, ordering all teams to get ready. b. At 3:55, the team leader gave the order: start sealing the leak. Three water guns were directed at the flames at the same time, and the fire was quickly extinguished; only a slight amount of steam along with water continued to escape. Wang Yi from the repair team reported that c. At 4:10, the leak-sealing team announced that the task had been completed successfully. The maintenance team reports that all areas are back to normal operation. The fire department reported that the fire had been completely extinguished and no one was injured at the scene. d. Rescue team report: All personnel have been accounted for; no injuries reported. Request to lift traffic controls. At 4:20, the command center issued an order: the situation on site has returned to normal; the emergency response status in the factory area is lifted, and an evaluation and summary are to be conducted. On-site handling: 1. Clean and tidy up the fire hoses, straps, and ammonia-resistant masks, as well as clean the air respirators. 2. Maintain the fire pump and clean up accumulated water. 3. Flammable materials at the site were removed. 4. The Safety and Environment Department and the Production Department investigate the cause of the accident. 5. The water used for rescue firefighting is placed in the circulation tank. Summary and evaluation ----------: This drill was organized in an orderly manner, the on-site simulation was realistic, and the responsibilities of each team member were clearly defined; excellent results were achieved. It is hoped that everyone will draw lessons from this experience and make greater efforts to carry out emergency rescue drills. --------Various departments carried out a lot of preparatory work, which led to such excellent results in this drill; more such exercises should be held in the future. -----------Each workshop should organize drills for emergency response plans tailored to its scale, so that everyone from the company level down to workshops and teams is involved and is aware of these plans. Some individuals are not yet proficient in using protective equipment; therefore, training in this area needs to be strengthened, especially ensuring that everyone knows how to operate and use fire pumps. -----------Recorded.

Emergency Rescue Drill Record (1)
l Name of the drill: Massive leakage of liquid ammonia in the liquid ammonia storage area
l Date of the drill: May 18, 2007
Location: Synthesis Tank No. 1
l Units and personnel involved in the drill:
Commander: ooo oooo oooo oooo
Coordinator: oooo ooooo ooo
Synthesis team: ooooo and the chief operators of Shift A
Compression team: oooooo and the chief operators of Shift A
Welder team: ooooo ooooo ooooo
Carbonation team: ooooo ooo
Mechanic team: oooo oooo oooo oooo ooooo oooo (electricians)
Drivers: ooooo ooooo
IV. Simulated accident scene:
Simulators: Three persons, oooo, ooooo, and ooooo, were responsible for opening the main liquid ammonia valve and the filling valve, thereby releasing some liquid ammonia and simulating a leak at Tank No. 1; as a result, the entire liquid ammonia storage area was filled with a thick mist. V. Accident Handling: 1. At 4:15, the copper washing operator oooooo noticed a white mist accompanied by a pungent ammonia smell. He immediately rushed to the synthesis section and reported the situation to the on-duty shift leader ooooo. oooooo quickly went to the filling area, where it was already impossible to approach the area; he promptly closed the valves used to supply ammonia to the system and rang the bell to inform the dispatch supervisor (the third shift leader). The supervisor quickly opened the emergency kit, and the two of them put on ammonia-resistant masks before activating the emergency spraying system installed in the storage tank. At 4:17, dispatcher ooo was sent to the synthesis site and immediately gave orders: 1) Shut down the valves connecting to other systems; the main ammonia valves of the two additional storage tanks were to be closed by the on-duty mechanic ooo oooo. 2) Compression chief operator: oooo and the chief assistant operator of Shift A; Carbonization: oooo oooo assist in pulling out the fire pump. 3) Report to the team leader and deputy team leader. 2. Emergency rescue: At 4:20, the team leader ooooo, along with deputy leaders ooooo, ooooo, ooo, and others arrived at the scene. They immediately decided as follows: 1. The rescue team would be led by ooooo, with members oooo, oooo; those involved in the operation were to: a) Establish an isolation zone and evacuate people to a location 150 meters away from the factory entrance, given the strong southeast wind at level 3. b) Keep dump truck and forklift drivers on standby. III. Count the employees present at work. IV. Seal off the roads at the factory entrance and establish an isolation zone. V. Simulate making a call to the hospital emergency service. 2. Process team: Under the responsibility of ooo; team members include ooo for scheduling, the main operators for synthesis and compression, as well as the personnel on duty in the three shifts. Personnel in various positions were prepared to evacuate, fire masks were distributed, the sources of gas for synthesis and copper washing were cut off, and Unit 1 for compression was shut down (simulated as a bell-shaped shutdown) at 4:22. 3. Fire fighting team: Under the responsibility of ooooo; team members ooooo along with the mechanic on call quickly pulled out the fire pump, which was started at 4:25 to spray water at the ammonia outlet valve, resulting in an immediate reduction in the ammonia smell. 4. Response team: ooooo, consisting of mechanical repair personnel. ooooo immediately went to the fire station, put on firefighting gear, and at 4:31 arrived at the incident site equipped with a breathing apparatus. Two fire hoses were used there, one providing cover while both were aimed at the leak site. ooooo, carrying an F wrench, moved forward quickly under the cover provided by the fire hoses. The valve was successfully closed, but the leakage at the root flange could not be resolved; therefore, it was necessary to temporarily withdraw from the leaking area. VI. Handling of the leakage point: The command team urgently agreed that 1. small guns should be used to aim at the leakage point in order to continue flushing and enhance absorption. 2. Use bamboo sticks to plug the leakage point, while accelerating the transfer of liquid ammonia from the storage tank to the system. At 4:34, Liu Xueming entered the leak site once again and, in accordance with the plan, successfully inserted bamboo sticks into the leaking flange (which was the flange of the main ammonia supply valve on site). The leak was successfully sealed, and the ammonia smell at the site gradually diminished, confirming that the leak had been controlled. By this time it was 4:40. VII. Restoration of the accident site: Once the accident was under control, the command center ordered the process team to resume production promptly, under the leadership of ooo; the fire fighting team continued to apply water spray, while the response team carried out the necessary preparatory work. At 4:45, the process team reported that production had resumed normal operations, the fire team reported that the leak had been contained, and the response team was ready; the command center ordered the site to be cleaned up. The performance was announced to be over at 4:50. VIII. On-site handling: Collect and clean the fire hoses, nozzles, and ammonia-proof masks. Clean the air respirator. Maintain the fire pump. Clear the standing water. Close the ammonia filling valve that was opened during operation. IX. Summary: 1. Achievements: (1) After identifying and confirming disasters and potential hazards, the commander must remain calm, organize tasks in an orderly manner, and provide effective command. (2) Be well-prepared in normal times, with emergency response and repair equipment and parts in good condition and under control, to facilitate firefighting and hazard elimination. (3) The firefighting was timely and decisive. (4) Alerts are rapid and accurate. (5) The warning and rescue efforts were also carried out quite well. 2. Shortcomings: 1) Personnel are not yet very proficient in using air respirators, and the individual responsibilities of some participants during drills are not clearly defined. . 2). For emergency repairs, tools should be wrapped with a wet cloth to prevent metal parts from colliding and generating static sparks. 3. Improvement measures: (1) All personnel should further strengthen their study and drills of this emergency plan, and become familiar with their responsibilities in emergency response for their respective positions. (2) Prepare the necessary fire-fighting equipment as well as fire and poison prevention gear to ensure the safety of emergency responders. (3) During the drill, it is necessary to follow the requirements of actual combat, approach the task with seriousness and diligence; perfunctoriness is strictly prohibited. Everyone should be highly motivated, all positions must be handled with seriousness, and supervisors should be present on site. The entire drill was realistic and well-organized, achieving good results; it attracted many spectators, which served as an excellent learning experience.
