Some experts in the design suggested that, to prevent oil leaks resulting from pipe ruptures, oil bunds should be installed under the pipe galleries in storage areas and docks to collect any leaked oil. Has anyone encountered similar problems? For such an event with an extremely low probability, I don’t think there’s any way to address it in design or actual production. If there are valves on the pipeline tray, is there something like a small collection bucket? Hang it on the pipe.
Damn, does that mean it’s needed under every cable tray in the factory area? That’s completely absurd! Hanging buckets are the most reliable option; they look ugly and can easily fall and hurt people!
Sometimes I’m also speechless about the so-called management departments or experts.
The original poster’s idea is really weird; I’m speechless! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
The hanging bucket is unsuitable; it looks ugly, has a low oil collection capacity, and is prone to falling and causing injury. As for setting up cofferdams below, it’s also not very practical. This pipeline is different from storage tanks; storage tanks have low pressure, and leaks mainly fall due to gravity. However, the direction of the pipeline leakage is uncontrollable; when a pressurized pipeline leaks heavily, fluid sprays in all directions, and it’s impossible to collect it. The best way to reduce the impact of pipeline leaks is to use sleeves on the outside; P;P;P. If the goal is to minimize leaks, consider purchasing high-quality valves and regularly checking their sealing surfaces.......
I really haven’t seen this before!
Currently, management control measures such as regular testing, maintenance, inspections, online parameter monitoring, comparison of upstream and downstream flow rates, and readiness for emergency leak sealing are all employed. For pipelines that are hundreds of kilometers long, management and control are even more necessary; adding sleeves ultimately leads to the same result. It is quite effective to have a platform at the valve area along with gas detection. It’s still a good question to ask. Indeed, it is quite difficult to deal with risks once they occur. That’s just the current situation. What are everyone's opinions?
In other words, it can only be addressed by strengthening management; it is necessary to have a platform at the valve area equipped with gas detection devices.
In other words, all utility tunnels cannot pass through in mid-air; there must be a floor below them, which makes things safer
The problem is that the level of feasibility isn’t high, what do you think?
It can’t be just talk; experts need to form opinions and provide evidence, or upgrade the standards. For those that have already been built, follow the old standards; make changes where possible. For new constructions, use the new standards. I really think that every layer of utility tunnel should have a maintenance platform, but I’m not an expert
