Fire, explosion, and poison prevention management system 1. Basic principles 1.1 Chemical enterprises must exercise strict control over flammable and explosive materials used, as well as processes and equipment that pose fire and explosion risks. Effective safety measures should be taken to prevent fires and explosions, reduce the impact of such disasters, and thereby protect the company’s property and the safety of its employees. 1.2 Implement the policy of \"prevention first, combining prevention with suppression,\" actively adopt advanced fire prevention and extinguishing technologies, establish professional and volunteer fire protection organizations, carry out safety and fire prevention education, and strengthen fire inspections as well as the management of fire extinguishing equipment. 2. Production Facilities 2.1 In accordance with the classification requirements based on the fire and explosion hazards associated with the production and use of hazardous chemicals, the design and layout of the factory buildings, the architectural structure, the selection and installation of electrical equipment, as well as relevant safety facilities, must all comply with **the relevant fire protection requirements. 2.2 In those parts of the process equipment where fires or explosions may occur, instruments for monitoring temperature and pressure, as well as alarm systems (sound and light) and safety interlock devices, should be installed. 2.3 In areas where flammable gases (vapors) may leak and spread, gas concentration detectors and alarms should be installed. The alarm threshold value should be set at 20% below the lower explosive limit of that gas; if integrated with safety interlocks, the interlock shall activate at 50% below the lower explosive limit of that gas. 2.4 All automatic control systems shall be equipped with manual control systems as well. 2.5 All pipelines for transporting inert gases and oxidizing gases that are connected to flammable and explosive devices shall be equipped with mechanisms to prevent the entry of such flammable and explosive substances, but check valves alone should not be used. 2.6 For equipment where overheating or overpressure may occur due to the synthesis or decomposition of reaction materials, posing a risk of fire or explosion, automatic and manual emergency pressure relief systems should be installed. 2.7 A flame arrester should be installed at the outlet of the vent pipe for combustible gases (vapors), and a stop valve should be placed in an easily accessible location so that the gas supply can be cut off to extinguish a fire that occurs at the vent pipe outlet. 2.8 When transporting flammable and explosive materials, an appropriate flow rate should be controlled based on the pipe diameter and the resistivity of the medium, in order to minimize the generation of static electricity as much as possible. Anti-static measures for equipment, pipelines, etc., shall be implemented in accordance with the relevant provisions of the \"Technical Specifications for Static Grounding Design in Chemical Enterprises\" (CD90A3—). 2.9 Production or storage equipment that poses a risk of sudden overpressure or instantaneous decomposition explosion shall be equipped with blast shields (explosion-proof membranes); the outlet of the detonation tube shall face in a safe direction, and measures to prevent secondary explosions and fires shall be taken as necessary. 2.10 At the outlets for industrial wastewater from various production units, buildings, structures, tank farms, etc., in addition to water seal wells as required, isolation valves should also be installed between these areas and the water seal wells to prevent large amounts of flammable and explosive substances from entering the wastewater system. 2.11 For safety valves and vent pipes used with flammable and explosive gases, their outlet pipes must be placed outdoors and at a height of more than 2 meters above the building. 3.

Article 34: The equipment management departments of secondary units shall, based on the actual circumstances, organize the preparation of plans and layout diagrams for equipment corrosion monitoring within their respective units. They shall establish monitoring records, promptly organize the data, and create a systematic and comprehensive monitoring database. Using this database, they shall analyze the corrosion situation, calculate the corrosion rate, and propose measures to prevent corrosion. Article 35: In light of the characteristics of the production process, strengthen the monitoring and analysis of the content of corrosive substances in materials, establish a regular analysis system, and strictly control the level of such corrosive substances. Article 36: The equipment management departments of secondary units shall maintain records of the distribution of key corrosive agents such as hydrogen sulfide along the process flow. In particular, for those devices manufactured from high-strength steel materials and exposed to high levels of hydrogen sulfide in the surrounding environment, the equipment management departments must arrange for sampling and analysis of hydrogen sulfide levels at least once a month, as well as for the compilation of relevant data. In the liquefied petroleum gas, propylene, and other substances that enter the spherical tank, the hydrogen sulfide content must not exceed the values specified in the design requirements; the equipment management department must enforce strict controls and carry out thorough evaluations. Article 37: Parameters in the process flow that reflect the degree of equipment corrosion and the corrosivity of the media (such as iron ion content, chloride ion content, hydrogen sulfide content, pH value, dew point temperature, etc.) should be analyzed regularly, and process operations should be adjusted promptly based on the analysis results. Article 38: For equipment equipped with electrochemical corrosion protection methods such as cathodic protection, the effectiveness of this protection should be checked regularly, and the protection parameters should be adjusted in a timely manner based on the results of these checks. Chapter 7: Process Corrosion Prevention Management Article 39: To reduce and prevent corrosion of equipment caused by process media, all units shall actively implement process corrosion prevention measures. It mainly includes the following: removing certain medium components that cause equipment corrosion, such as desalination and desulfurization in oil refining, and oxygen removal in steam production ; Add corrosion inhibitors and neutralizers that can reduce or suppress corrosion, as well as a third component that can reduce or suppress corrosion ; Select and maintain process conditions that can reduce or prevent corrosion, such as appropriate temperature, pressure, component ratios, pH value, flow rate, etc ; Other process conditions that can mitigate and suppress corrosion. Article 40: All units shall establish process anti-corrosion management systems and improve their management frameworks and responsibility systems. The technical management department, equipment management department, material and logistics department, user units, inspection units, etc., work together to form a comprehensive management network. Article 41: Strengthen the testing and analysis of corrosive substances in various chemical raw materials entering the plant. For crude oil, tests and analyses should be conducted on parameters such as sulfur content, salt content, acid value, nitrogen content, and heavy metal content, so as to adjust the corrosion prevention measures in a timely manner. Article 42: The production technology department shall regularly inspect the implementation of anti-corrosion measures as specified in technical documents such as process technologies and operating procedures, as well as process cards. It should strengthen the daily management of process anti-corrosion measures and address promptly any issues that arise during their application. Process anti-corrosion measures must operate in sync with the startup and shutdown of the plant. Article 43: The two atmospheric and vacuum distillation units in the refining department adjust the \"one removal and three injections\" operation in a timely manner based on the test data of the three types of water, thereby reducing equipment corrosion. Strictly follow the control parameters specified for the electrodesalination process in the equipment’s process card, and adjust factors such as water injection volume, desalination temperature, electric field strength, and the amount of demulsifier added in a timely manner to improve the efficiency of electrodesalination. Article 44: The equipment management department shall conduct follow-up inspections on the effectiveness of the process corrosion prevention measures, and promptly provide the technical department with the results of these inspections, so as to offer a reliable basis for improving the efficiency of process corrosion prevention and for selecting appropriate corrosion inhibitors. Chapter 8 Inspections and Assessments Article 45 The Company’s Equipment Management Department shall organize relevant units to conduct regular inspections and assessments of the corrosion prevention measures for major production facilities and key equipment, as well as the implementation of corrosion prevention regulations. Article 46: The equipment management departments of secondary units shall regularly inspect the corrosion monitoring status of equipment such as those used for thickness measurement, as well as the condition of the equipment’s anti-corrosion facilities. Article 47: The production technology department shall conduct monthly inspections of the control status of technical indicators related to process corrosion prevention for each unit, as well as the use of corrosion prevention agents and the quality inspection results.
