How should interlocks be activated when starting up the pure oxygen catalytic partial oxidation unit? There may be differences depending on the specific process, so please share your insights – thank you!
I believe the interlock system for the pure oxygen catalytic partial oxidation conversion unit should be put into use promptly. The interlock diagram for the conversion system designed by Huahai No.2 Research Institute is excellent; following it will suffice. Our company delayed the installation of interlocks, which led to many safety issues.
What safety issues have arisen? I’m about to drive, and I don’t have much experience; I’d like to learn more about it. Thank you!
Generally, there’s no need to invest. Our conversion chain is not affected at all; nothing problematic has occurred with ours either. You just need to set the output to a default value – there’s no need to apply any restrictions
While driving, all the links should be disengaged and switched to manual mode. Once driving is normal, some chain self-regulation can be applied as appropriate. For example, the oxygen supplied to the conversion furnace still needs to be adjusted manually after it is brought online, and the adjustment should be made according to the actual conditions of your company.
Reply to the original poster； Disengage the interlock while driving; keep it engaged when production regulation is normal. It is likely due to the limited skills and experience of the operators; after all, safety comes first.
Our chain has also not made any investments; they’re too afraid to do so, as problems arise as soon as an investment is made
It is precisely because of concerns about safety issues that the interlock must be activated once the system is operating normally. When setting up interlocks, it is essential to clarify the relationships between each franchise store. Otherwise, don’t vote.
Once driving is operating normally and the process conditions are met, the interlock system should be activated; otherwise, in the event of a sudden shutdown due to oxygen deprivation or other reasons, everyone will be in a panic, forgetting to turn this on or that off, and if the oxygen supply isn’t cut off, a serious accident could occur.
Interlock systems are an important guarantee for the safety of chemical production; this is especially true when it comes to oxygen – it’s best to activate them once operations are underway, otherwise it can be fatal.
