The entire plant lost power, and it took half an hour for backup power to be available. What should be done?

Recently, there has been constant thundering, and those who go to work are in constant fear. Finally, one night, a lightning strike brought everything to a halt: the furnaces lost power, the water pumps stopped working, and even nitrogen, the so-called \"guardian element,\" was in scarce supply. Guys, how do I operate the valves?

In situations like this, it’s understandable to have a backup power supply available for half an hour; after all, there are only a limited number of staff on duty, and there are many tasks related to restoring power supply, which keeps them busy. It would be better if there were an emergency diesel generator. 1. Reduction furnaces generally have a jacketed hot water pump driven by a diesel engine, which is started immediately to reduce the temperature. 2. Public utilities and waste gas treatment must be restored as soon as possible. 3. If there is an excess of H2, use H2 for cooling and purging; otherwise, use nitrogen.

If there are no diesel generators, no emergency power supply, no emergency hydrogen, no nitrogen, no instrument air, no cooling water………………… In short, there’s nothing of what you might need…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… I really don’t know what to do anymore; maybe it’s time to give up :(

In such complete darkness, be careful. It’s better to have your chubby Chen handle the valves – judging from his plump appearance, he surely has quite a bit of strength.

One principle: pressure will increase when there is a need for pressure relief, and temperature will rise when cooling is necessary; be careful with flammable and explosive gases

Monitor closely to prevent overheating and overpressure

Reply to 2# Wind and Rain Without Clear Sky: Thank you, I now know some emergency measures. I hope this kind of thing doesn’t happen again; my legs are completely exhausted from running.

Reply to 7# Qinghe Ying: I guessed that we were colleagues as soon as I saw your profile picture on Haichuan over a year ago; it was probably taken in the Binhai area. On the 11th, I was still discussing with my new colleagues ways to deal with a power outage across the entire factory, and I never expected that the problem would arise already in the early hours of the following day. It happened suddenly, and there aren’t many good solutions. It would be best to have an emergency plan for everyone to follow. The team leader should assign tasks and proceed step by step according to the procedures. It’s especially important to stay calm in such situations. I heard that someone in another workshop got injured, but thankfully it wasn’t serious.

Currently, in addition to diesel generators, factory designs feature a dual-power supply system for the power supply, with critical equipment being equipped with backup power sources.
