In the field of chemical production of raw materials, the safety of natural gas storage and transportation specifications

1. Introduction

With the rapid development of the chemical industry, the use of natural gas is becoming more and more extensive. However, there are certain safety risks in the storage and transportation of natural gas. Therefore, it is very important to strengthen the safety storage and transportation regulations of natural gas. In this paper, the nature of natural gas, safety storage and transportation specifications are described.

2. the nature of natural gas

natural gas is a clean energy, the main component of methane, but also contains a small amount of ethane, propane and other hydrocarbon gases. Natural gas has the characteristics of flammable, explosive, colorless, odorless, and low toxicity, so special attention should be paid to safety during storage and transportation.

3. the safety of natural gas storage specification

1. Storage facilities location: natural gas storage facilities should be located in stable geological conditions, open terrain, far away from residential areas and other important facilities. At the same time, the construction of storage facilities in areas prone to natural disasters such as earthquakes and floods should be avoided.
2. Design of storage facilities: natural gas storage facilities shall be designed in accordance with relevant national standards to ensure structural safety and reliability of the facilities. The storage facilities shall be equipped with fire prevention, explosion-proof and lightning protection facilities to ensure the safe operation of the facilities.
3. Storage facilities management: A sound storage facilities management system should be established, and facilities should be inspected, maintained and maintained regularly to ensure the normal operation of the facilities. At the same time, staff training should be strengthened to improve their safety awareness and operational skills.

4. natural gas safety transportation specification

1. Transportation mode selection: natural gas transportation mainly includes pipeline transportation and tanker transportation. The appropriate mode of transportation should be selected according to the actual situation to ensure the safety and economy of transportation.
2. Transport facilities management: the management and maintenance of transport facilities shall be strengthened to ensure the normal operation of the facilities. For pipeline transportation, the pipeline should be inspected and maintained regularly to prevent safety accidents such as pipeline leakage. For tanker transportation, the maintenance and maintenance of the tanker should be strengthened to ensure the safety performance of the tanker.
3. Transportation safety management: A sound transportation safety management system should be established to strengthen safety supervision during transportation. For pipeline transportation, inspection along the route should be strengthened to discover and deal with potential safety hazards in time. For tanker transportation, the planning and selection of transportation routes should be strengthened to avoid driving in sensitive areas such as densely populated areas and near important facilities.

5. case analysis

a chemical enterprise in the storage and transportation of natural gas, due to poor management, resulting in a natural gas leakage accident. After the accident, the enterprise immediately launched the emergency plan, organized personnel to carry out emergency rescue, and finally successfully controlled the development of the accident. After investigation and analysis, the main cause of the accident was that the company did not strictly follow the relevant specifications for natural gas storage and transportation management, resulting in aging facilities and improper operation.

6. Conclusions

Safe storage and transportation regulations for natural gas are essential in the field of raw materials for chemical production. Enterprises should strengthen the management and maintenance of natural gas storage and transportation facilities, establish a sound safety management system, strengthen staff training, and improve staff safety awareness and operational skills. At the same time, the government should strengthen the supervision of natural gas storage and transportation, improve relevant laws, regulations and standards, and ensure the safe use and development of natural gas.
