(Original title: Maoming Petrochemical Actively Promotes Environmental Protection Measures in the Tank Cleaning Production Area _ Jinyang Net News) On November 18, the Railway Transport Branch held a specialized discussion on environmental protection technologies with Maoming Yingpeng Mechanical and Electrical Equipment Co., Ltd. The branch’s administrative leaders, HSE director, heads of relevant workshops and departments, as well as technical experts, exchanged views with the mechanical and electrical equipment company regarding environmental protection practices in the cleaning of railway tank cars. The electromechanical equipment company introduced their developed \"automatic cleaning device for train tank cars,\" which eliminates the need for cleaning staff to enter the inside of the tank cars; the entire cleaning process is automated. The device also features functions such as explosion protection, anti-static protection, gas protection, and automatic recovery of dirty oil. “The advanced technology of the \"Mechanical Automatic Cleaning Device for Railway Tank Cars\" is highly suitable for meeting the environmental protection requirements in tank cleaning areas. It is believed that adopting automated and mechanized methods for cleaning railway tank cars can help to more effectively control and avoid environmental pollution resulting from manual cleaning; moreover, such methods offer more advanced processes, higher safety levels, and improved cleaning efficiency. During the discussions, the branch realized that its capacity to prevent and control environmental risks is still relatively weak, and there is a gap between the cleaning of railway tank cars and the new environmental emission standards to be implemented next year; therefore, it is urgent to advance environmental protection efforts. At the meeting, the branch put forward the idea of carrying out trial tests on the \"automatic cleaning device for train tank cars,\" and requested relevant departments and workshops to make urgent preparations to accelerate the implementation of environmental protection measures and strive to enhance the ability to prevent and control environmental risks.
