Jia Hydrogen Daily Question 4.3 (On a business trip; expected to arrive home this morning. The format will be standardized once back). When performing routine valve operations while the hydrogenation unit is in operation, should explosion-proof wrenches be used throughout the process? Points are awarded as long as the argument is valid
Just to be safe, it’s better to use explosion-proof wrenches throughout the process
Explosion-proof wrenches should be used throughout the process, in hydrogen-rich environments and in explosion-proof areas.
Due to its use throughout the entire process, hydrogenation units present relatively high risks; the main hazards are fires and explosions, which are areas that require special attention in terms of safety
Hydrogenation units are classified as flammable and explosive areas. Some manual valves require a wrench to operate, such as larger root valves; for safety reasons, explosion-proof wrenches that prevent sparks from being generated during operation should be used throughout the process.

Theoretically, the opening and closing of valves can be done without any auxiliary tools, but in practice, for various reasons such as a large pressure difference on either side of the valve, high resistance when opening or closing certain valves, or the need to ensure a tight seal when the valve is closed, auxiliary tools are used. If such tools are employed, they must be explosion-proof.
