Jinan, Qilu Net, June 4 – At around 11:20 a.m. on June 4, the upper head of a heat exchanger in the conversion unit of Shandong Jinmei Mingshui Chemical Group Co., Ltd., located in Zhangqiu District, suddenly burst, resulting in a leak of a mixture of semi-water gas and steam, which in turn triggered a fire. The accident did not result in any casualties or other secondary disasters. After the accident, the personnel on duty initiated an emergency shutdown of the system and used steam to displace the fire, resulting in the formation of a large amount of water mist; the open flame was extinguished around 11:25. The entire plant has been shut down, and the system is in a safe state. The cause of the accident is under further investigation.
Judging from the time, it can be said that the emergency plan was well prepared.

There is also a fertilizer factory 3 kilometers away from our plant; it has three granulation towers and is larger in scale than this one. The pungent smell could be detected from a great distance, and the area around the factory was covered in coal ash.
The large fertilizer plants using coal experience ammonia leaks, and they have higher levels of air emissions
Mm. It’s much more polluted than petroleum chemical plants.
