Issues regarding the blast-resistant design of the control room
Thread Content
Hello, teachers! I would like to ask: Is the control room of petrochemical plants designed to be explosion-proof, regardless of its distance from the explosion zones shown in the hazard zone layout? Thank you
If the distance is large enough, it can be designed as a sea-view room; the key question is whether the signal from the chain system can reach that far
Check the general layout design or standards such as GB50160
HG/T20508-2014 Code for Design of Control Rooms: 3.4.1 Whether a newly built control room should be designed with explosion-proof structures has always been a problem that relevant professionals are unable to resolve quantitatively, due to the lack of relevant guidelines. (1) Quantification based on distance – that is, determining how many meters away a control room must be from a device before it can use non-explosion-proof structures. (2) Quantification of explosive power. That is, the explosive force of the device must be less than a certain value in mbar for a non-explosion-resistant structure to be usable.

As far as I know, the blast resistance retrofitting demonstration project carried out by Sinopec Jinling Petrochemical was actually contracted out to Juege Industry. From design to the blast resistance solutions and construction, the work was done quite professionally. This company has been working in the field of explosion safety for 18 years and has filed most of the patents related to blast resistance retrofits; many demonstration projects in China have been carried out by them. If you’re interested, you can look up information about the company online or contact them by phone.
This company was also one of the participants in formulating the national standard GB50779, \"Code for Explosion Protection Design of Petrochemical Control Rooms\"; it is advisable to consult them regarding explosion protection modifications.
