At around 20:50 on August 22, an explosion occurred at Shandong Runxing Chemical Technology Co., Ltd., located in Houzhuang, Guoli Town, Huantai County, Zibo City, Shandong Province, which triggered a fire. According to a tweet from the Zibo police, an explosion injured 9 people, who have been taken to hospitals for treatment and are not in life-threatening condition. Upon investigation and verification, it was found that the tank that experienced an explosion was an acrylonitrile storage tank. http://news.sina.com.cn/c/2015-08-23/doc-ifxhcvrn0222609.shtml By 1:50 a.m. on August 23, the fire had been completely extinguished. One deceased person was found during the cleanup of the scene; the victim was an employee of this factory. http://news.sina.com.cn/c/2015-08-23/051332231753.shtml?cre=sinapc&mod=g&loc=4&r=u&rfunc=2 How many combustion and explosion incidents in the chemical industry have occurred this year?

After a rough count, there have been six major chemical accidents this year: Zhangzhou in Fujian, Yangzi Petrochemical, Nanjing Dena, Rizhao spherical tank facility, a hazardous materials warehouse in Tianjin, and Zibo Runxing. With such frequent combustion and explosion accidents, although each incident has its own characteristics, is there consistency in their underlying systemic causes?
There was another accident: at 11:43 p.m. on August 20, a massive fire broke out in the factory building of Hegerli Polymer Technology Co., Ltd. located in the Qingzhi Industrial Zone of Xiaogang, Beilun District, Ningbo. The warehouse where the fire started contained large quantities of resin, polyurethane coatings, and other raw materials used in the production of artificial leather. What’s alarming is that the company where the fire broke out was just separated from Zhejiang Haiyue Storage, Zhejiang’s largest liquefied gas storage facility, by a single wall, and was less than 10 meters away from the natural gas pipelines.
In terms of security management, it is estimated that there will be an improvement of one level. . Cracking down on illegal activities and enforcing regulations through the \"four no’s and two direct approaches\" as well as unannounced inspections has not solved many problems. . .
It’s the menstrual cycle – protection is essential! Those with weak resistance will get injured!
The main reason for accidents is production management. The safety department seems to be responsible for ensuring safety, but in reality the production department is the most important – if it implements proper safety measures, the likelihood of serious accidents is greatly reduced!
There have been too many explosions in the chemical industry this year; it’s still necessary to raise safety awareness
Bad luck prevails; even the words ‘explosion’ and ‘blast’ scare me.
Maybe the media is more willing to expose things this year
With intentional exposure and media coverage, there have been cases in previous years as well; it’s just that the level of exposure was lower.
The Party and **have become enlightened and are determined to address these persistent problems.
