China Times (chinatimes.net.cn) reporter Lu Xiaoxiao Beijing report

At 4 am on June 18th, Shanghai Petrochemical broke out. At present, the fire has been controlled, and protective combustion is being implemented. At present, the accident caused a third -party transport vehicle driver to die, and a slight bruises in Shanghai Petrochemical employee's arms were further investigated.

At around 16:30 in the afternoon, Shanghai Petrochemical said in an interview with the Huaxia Times, "The fire has been controlled, because some materials may be dangerous if they do not burn in the pipeline. Now we are carrying a protective nature. Burning. The reason for the fire is still investigating, and the explosion scale and loss have no conclusions. "

Is there a risk of twice explosions? Shanghai Petrochemical said: "It should not be at present, because the fire is controlled. At present, it is a controllable, burning from a safe perspective, and a controllable burning."

"Huaxia Times" reporter asked whether the burning and volatile gases were harmful to the human body. We will announce it in a timely manner at that time. "

Sudden fire in Shanghai Petrochemical at four in the morning

At around 4:00 on June 18th, a fire in the ethylene glycol device area of ​​the Ministry of Petrochemical Chemical Engineering showed that the video shot by nearby residents showed that the scene was shining and accompanied by a huge explosion. According to media reports, a thick black smoke can be seen at the accident scene and accompanied by a unpleasant smell.

Subsequently, Shanghai Petrochemical launched a first -level plan. Shanghai Petrochemical said that after the fire, Shanghai Petrochemical launched an environmental emergency plan to continue the environmental monitoring of the company's factory and external regions. It has been arranged to strengthen the sampling and monitoring of rainwater discharge, and no impact on the surrounding water environment has been found. At present, the fire at the scene has been effectively controlled and protective burning is being implemented.

According to Shanghai Fire Fighting, at 4:28 on June 18, 2022, the Municipal 119 Fire Command Center received an alarm. The ethylene glycol device in the chemical industry of Shanghai Petrochemical Co., Ltd. broke down and caused a lot of fire in the surrounding area. 563 firefighters in Shanghai and 113 fire trucks rushed to the scene for disposal. The fire at the scene has been effectively controlled.

The official Weibo of the Shanghai Municipal Government News Office, Shanghai, also reported the relevant situation at about 17 pm on the 18th that the Shanghai Municipal Emergency Administration reported that the Shanghai Petrochemical Department of Elehioliol Device area was around 4 am on June 18th. After the fire occurred, the relevant departments of the city and district immediately launched an emergency plan and organized rescue forces to rush to the scene for rescue. As of now, on -site disposal is undergoing orderly, and the storage of the pipelines are underwhelmed by protective combustion, and the safety risks are controllable. The accident caused 1 person to die and 1 person was injured. The monitoring data of the city and district ecological and environmental departments showed that the air quality has basically returned to normal; on -site sewage and rainwater pipelines have been closed, and no water body pollution is found in the surrounding river channels. At present, the Municipal Emergency Administration has set up an accident investigation team with relevant departments to conduct investigations in accordance with laws and regulations. The cause of the accident is under investigation.

Shanghai Petrochemical's official Weibo "Shanghai Petrochemical Online" forwarded the above Weibo released by Shanghai, and said, "Shanghai Petrochemical will cooperate with the government authorities to promote the investigation of the accident. Related devices will not have a significant impact on the market."

"Protective combustion" or to prevent the second explosion

It is understood that the fire in Shanghai Petrochemical was the ethylene glycol device area of ​​the chemical industry. After the accident, the public would cause air pollution and endangering personal safety.

As for why "protective burning" on the spot? An expert who is unknown to be named should be to prevent the second explosion. According to China News Weekly, Chang Xiaoxin, a high -level engineer of PetroChina -class professors interviewed by the media, said that ethylene glycol has certain toxicity, which mainly generates carbon dioxide and water after burning, but incomplete combustion will generate harmful carbon monoxide. Protective combustion is to keep the residual material controlled and perform the next step of rescue. This is also a large -scale chemical refining device.

Wang Ping, an analyst at the ethylene glycol analyst of the Longzhong Information Chemical Fiber Division, has different views. She told the reporter of the Huaxia Times that ethylene glycol is a viscous liquid, not flammable and explosive items, nor to be toxic Material, the cause and impact of the accident may also need to wait for the official investigation results.

Wang Ping introduced that ethylene glycol is a chemical product extracted from oil. It can be used for textile clothing. We often see that there is polyester fiber in the fabrics of the clothes. Ethylene glycol is one of the raw materials. In addition, ethylene glycol can also be used as antifreeze, and the antifreeze used in the car is basically ethylene glycol.

"For the market, the accident may have the effect of boosting the price of ethylene glycol." Wang Ping analyzed that at about 4:00 on June 18th, Shanghai Petrochemical Device failed. Recently Temporary parking, the production capacity of the factory's ethylene glycol is 1#230,000 tons, 2#380,000 tons. Previously, the main production of the 1#device was mainly epoxy. At present, the total production capacity of the domestic ethylene glycol industry is 21.71 million tons, and the parking of 380,000 tons of parking accounts for 1.75%of the total production capacity of the domestic ethylene glycol industry. From the perspective of the factory's ethylene glycol, the load of the device has been maintained at 4-5%, and the monthly output is floating by 150,000 to 20,000 tons. The monthly output of the ethylene glycol industry is around 1.6%. Affected by this incident, it is expected that the monthly supply of ethylene glycol will drop to nearly 1.06 million tons in June. The overall supply and demand balance pattern of the industry will show the state of destruction, and it is expected that about 20,000 tons of the library will be expected. Last year's profit exceeding two billion yuan

On June 17, the day before the fire occurred, Shanghai Petrochemical just held the 50th anniversary of the establishment of the establishment.

According to the official information of Shanghai Petrochemical, Shanghai Petrochemical is a holding subsidiary of China Petroleum and Chemical Co., Ltd., located in Jinshan District, Shanghai, one of the main integrated enterprises in China, and an important domestic oil, intermediate petrochemical products, synthesis, synthesis Resin and synthetic fiber production bases. The predecessor of Shanghai Petrochemical was founded in Shanghai Petrochemical Factory in 1972. In 1993, it was standardized and restructured by a state -owned enterprise joint -stock system.

In terms of production capacity, at present, Shanghai Petrochemical has 16 million tons/year comprehensive processing crude oil capacity and 700,000 tons/year ethylene, 4.28 million tons/year of organic chemical raw materials, 1 million tons/year plastic resin, 1.09 million tons/year in combination of fiber fiber The production capacity of 590,000 tons/year in synthetic fiber polymers and 260,000 tons/year synthetic fiber.

Judging from its 2021 annual report, this company's profitability is good. Its operating income in 2021 reached 89.28 billion yuan, an increase of 19.51%year -on -year; net profit attributable to shareholders of the parent company was 2.01 billion yuan, an increase of 218.50%year -on -year.

Data show that the proportion of chemical products such as glycol in Shanghai's petrochemicals are not high, only 1.78%. In 2021, the output of ethylene glycol in 2021 was 150,700 tons, a decrease of 36.33%year -on -year, and the sales in 2021 were 41,400 tons, a decrease of 67.48%year -on -year. In 2022, Shanghai Petrochemical plans to produce 103,000 tons of ethylene glycol.
