[Chemical Knowledge]：Specification for storage and transportation of compressed natural gas

The safety of compressed natural gas storage and transportation specifications

1. Introduction

With the expansion of chemical production scale and the continuous development of technology, compressed natural gas (Compressed Natural Gas, referred to as CNG) as a clean, efficient and convenient energy, in the production of raw materials in the field of application more and more widely. However, due to the flammable and explosive characteristics of natural gas, its safety and storage and transportation regulations have become issues that must be paid attention to in the production of chemical products. This paper will discuss the safety storage and transportation specifications of compressed natural gas.

2. the nature and application of compressed natural gas

compressed natural gas is to store and transport natural gas in the form of high-pressure gas after being compressed by a compressor. Because of its high density, high energy, flammable and explosive characteristics, in the field of chemical production, must strictly abide by the relevant safety norms and standards to ensure the safe storage and transportation of compressed natural gas.

3. the safety of compressed natural gas storage specifications

1. The design and construction of storage facilities should comply with relevant national standards and specifications to ensure that the structure of the facilities is safe and reliable. At the same time, the impact of natural disasters such as earthquakes and lightning should be considered, and corresponding protective measures should be taken.
2. The storage facilities shall be equipped with safety facilities such as fire prevention, explosion prevention and lightning protection, and shall be regularly maintained and inspected to ensure the normal operation of the facilities.
3. The storage facilities shall be equipped with gas detection devices to monitor the concentration of natural gas in the storage environment in real time. When the concentration exceeds the safe range, measures such as ventilation and dilution shall be taken in time.
4. The storage facilities shall be provided with an emergency pressure relief device to automatically or manually relieve pressure when the storage pressure exceeds the set value to prevent the facility from overpressure explosion.


of transportation specifications for
4. compressed natural gas 1. Transportation vehicles shall comply with relevant national standards and specifications, and have corresponding qualifications and certificates to ensure that the structure and safety performance of vehicles meet the requirements.
2. During transportation, vehicles should be regularly inspected and maintained to ensure the normal operation of vehicles and prevent safety accidents caused by vehicle failures.
3. In the process of transportation, the road traffic and transportation safety regulations should be strictly observed, the speed of the vehicle should be kept stable, and operations such as sudden braking and sharp turns should be avoided to reduce the safety risks during transportation.
4. In the process of transportation, real-time monitoring of transportation vehicles should be carried out to find and solve potential safety problems in time.


of safety management measures for
5. of compressed natural gas 1. Establish sound safety management system and operating procedures, clarify the responsibilities and authorities of managers at all levels, and ensure the implementation of various safety measures.
2. Strengthen the safety education and training of employees, improve their safety awareness and operation skills, and enhance their sense of safety responsibility.
3. Conduct regular safety inspections and assessments to discover and resolve potential safety issues in a timely manner to ensure the safety and stability of the production process.
4. Strengthen communication and collaboration with local governments and relevant departments to jointly respond to emergencies and safety accidents.

6. conclusion

compressed natural gas is more and more widely used in the field of chemical production raw materials, and its safety and storage and transportation standards have become issues that must be paid attention. In order to ensure the safe storage and transportation of compressed natural gas, the following measures should be taken: strengthen the design and construction of storage and transportation facilities to ensure that they meet the relevant national standards and specifications; strengthen the management and maintenance of transportation vehicles to ensure that their safety performance meets the requirements; strengthen Safety management and training to improve the safety awareness and operation skills of employees. Only in this way can we ensure the safe use of compressed natural gas and promote the stable development of chemical production.
