[Chemical Knowledge]：Specification for storage and transportation of aromatic heat transfer oil

1. Introduction

Aromatic heat transfer oil as an important raw material for the production of chemicals, is widely used in various industrial heating and cooling systems. However, due to its special physical and chemical properties, aromatic heat transfer oil has certain safety risks during storage and transportation. In order to ensure production safety and reduce potential risks, it is very important to formulate strict storage and transportation regulations for aromatic heat transfer oil.

2. the properties of aromatic heat transfer oil

aromatic heat transfer oil is mainly composed of aromatic hydrocarbon compounds, with high thermal stability and oxidation resistance. However, it also has flammable, explosive, toxic and other dangerous characteristics, so it needs special attention during storage and transportation.

3. storage specifications

1. Storage facilities: Aromatic heat transfer oil should be stored in a dedicated warehouse or storage tank. The warehouse or storage tank should have good ventilation, fire prevention, explosion protection, lightning protection and other facilities, and comply with relevant safety standards.
2. Storage conditions: Aromatic heat transfer oil should be stored in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place, avoid direct sunlight and high temperature environment. The storage temperature should be controlled within a suitable range to avoid too high or too low temperature affecting the quality of heat transfer oil.
3. Storage management: A sound storage management system should be established, and storage facilities should be inspected and maintained regularly to ensure the normal operation of the facilities. At the same time, the storage quantity, quality and usage of heat transfer oil should be recorded and managed.

4. transport specifications

1. transport vehicles: transport vehicles with professional qualifications should be selected for transport, which should comply with relevant safety standards and be equipped with perfect fire prevention, explosion prevention, leakage prevention and other facilities.
2. Transport personnel: Transport personnel should be professionally trained to understand the nature and safe operation procedures of aromatic hydrocarbon heat transfer oil, and have the ability to respond to emergencies.
3. Transportation process: During transportation, traffic rules and safety operation procedures should be strictly observed to avoid dangerous behaviors such as speeding, overloading, and fatigue driving. At the same time, regular inspection and maintenance of transport vehicles should be carried out to ensure the normal operation of vehicles.

5. safety operation procedures

1. in the aromatic hydrocarbon heat transfer oil storage and transportation operations, should wear professional protective equipment, such as protective gloves, protective glasses, etc., to avoid direct contact with heat transfer oil.
2. During the operation, the site should be kept clean and tidy to avoid the existence of debris and fire sources.
3. In the process of storage and transportation, if any abnormal situation or potential safety hazard is found, the operation should be stopped immediately, and timely measures should be taken to investigate and deal with it.

6. emergency plan

In order to deal with possible emergencies, perfect emergency plans should be formulated. The emergency plan shall include the following contents:

1. Emergency organization and responsibilities: clarify the composition and responsibilities of the emergency organization to ensure that effective emergency response can be organized quickly in case of emergency.
2. Emergency measures: for possible emergencies, formulate corresponding emergency measures, including fire, leakage and other disposal methods.
3. Emergency materials reserve: reserve sufficient emergency materials, such as fire extinguishers, sand, linoleum, etc., to ensure that they can be used in time in case of emergency.
4. Emergency drills: conduct emergency drills regularly to improve the ability to respond to emergencies.

7. conclusion

aromatic heat transfer oil has important application value in the field of chemical production raw materials, but its special physical and chemical properties also bring certain safety risks. In order to ensure production safety and reduce potential risks, it is necessary to formulate strict storage and transportation specifications for aromatic heat transfer oil, and strengthen the formulation and implementation of safety management and emergency plans. By complying with the specifications, strengthening management and drills, the safety of storage and transportation of aromatic heat transfer oil can be effectively improved, and a strong guarantee for chemical production can be provided.
