The trial operation of Yizhu Chemical Enterprise in Gansu found that 33 hidden dangers were required to be rectified

Recently, the Department of Emergency Management sent eight working groups to carry out the first ministerial supervision and verification of major dangerous sources of hazardous chemicals in 2022. Among them, the second supervision and inspection team arrived at Jinda County, Jiuquan City, Gansu Province to inspect the Jiuquan Sanqi Qixin Coal Chemical Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Jiuquan Sanqi Coalization") located in the Beihewan Circular Economic Industrial Park Chemical Concentration Zone Essence Since the trial production of the company, it first stopped production due to environmental protection and other problems, and then replaced investors. The supervision and inspection team of the Emergency Management Department found that there were 33 hidden dangers, including 3 major hidden dangers.

It is understood that the company involved Jiuquan Sanqi Coaling had discontinued production due to environmental protection. At present, the trial production is re -conducted. The supervision and inspection team ordered the company to hire the A -level design unit to carry out a safety design diagnosis. Essence

In recent years, many industrial transfer projects have been undertaken by the Beihewan Circular Economic Industrial Park Chemical Concentration Zone of Jiuquan City, Gansu Province. Jiuquan Sanqi Coalization was originally known as Jiuquan Jinyuan Mining Co., Ltd., a coal chemical project with an annual output of 1 million tons of coke through investment promotion. There are 2 major sources of dangerous danger, namely the thick benzene middle body that constitutes a major dangerous source of the four levels. (Can) and a comprehensive tank area that constitutes a major dangerous source of three levels. The company began trial production in January 2020, and was discontinued due to environmental protection punishment. After replacement of investors in 2021, it resumed trial production in February 2022.

According to regulations, enterprises should implement the contracting responsibility system for the implementation of major dangerous sources. They must appoint the main person in charge, the person in charge of the technical, and the person in charge of the operation, and clarify the corresponding responsibilities and publicize it on the spot. However, in the inspection, the supervision and inspection team found that Jiuquan Sanqi Coalization did not appoint the main responsible person to be appointed. The relevant documents were only technical leaders and the person in charge of the operation.

"Who is the company's safety production committee?" The supervision and inspection team asked Ma Qiang, the legal representative and general manager of the company, but he could not answer. The main person in charge of the enterprise is the daily production safety committee. Why do you ask three? In the inspection, Ma Qiang acknowledged that he had not passed the assessment of the emergency management department and had not obtained a qualification certificate.

Caixin noticed that the qualifications of the staff of Jiuquan Sanqi coalization generally did not meet the requirements. During the inspection, it was found that the personnel of the operators of major dangerous sources, that is, the personnel of the production workshop did not meet the standards. Among the more than 100 people in the workshop, 55 people were junior high school, and even 3 were primary school qualifications.

According to regulations, chemical enterprises need to be approved in advance for fire operations and limited space operations. The supervision and inspection team found that the company's fire operations and limited space operation management were irregular, and there were problems such as the comments of the issuer and the date of issuance of the issuer of the corresponding job. The supervision and inspection team pointed out that this cannot ensure that the corresponding risk control measures before the operation can be effectively confirmed.

Caixin's supervision and inspection team experts checked the production area of ​​Jiuquan Sanqi coalization. Shortly after entering the gate of the factory area, although the surroundings were empty and the air circulated, it still had a strong irritating smell. Experts say that related production devices may not be damaged and sealing, leading to the leakage of toxic and harmful gases in the production process.

The inspection found that there was a valve without blind cover and leakage at the platform above the major dangerous source of risk -to -benzene. Experts said that the use of iron tools will produce sparks, which may cause the risk of explosion. The supervision and inspection team also found that some electrical equipment and threading design and installation of some electrical equipment and threading design in the production workshop and rough benzette areas do not meet the electrical explosion -proof standards.

In addition, experts found in the comprehensive tank area that there was a slight leakage outside the sampling valve of the rough benzene jar, and a beverage plastic bottle was temporarily connected to a closed sampler. According to experts, benzene has extremely high toxicity, which can damage people's hematopoietic function. It is surprising that using plastic bottle to prevent leakage in the sampling valve.

It is understood that Jiuquan Sanqi Coalization made a safety facility design in 2012 and a major change in 2019. It has not yet completed the acceptance. Experts from the supervision and inspection team told Caixin that the company has stopped in recent years, and some devices may be damaged. In addition, the company's management changes, the safety management is not in place, and the risk is high.

At present, the supervision and inspection team has ordered the enterprise to hire a class A design unit to carry out a detailed and safe design diagnosis. The corresponding hidden dangers should not be completed and the acceptance must be completed; the local emergency management department shall supervise the enterprise to strictly rectify and implement it.
