Liu Tiebin: "martial arts master" in the refinery

He treasures every piece of equipment and every small part of the ethylene plant; The device process, equipment characteristics, process conditions are all familiar with the heart.
.
.
He is Liu Tiebin, the team leader of
Sinochem Quanzhou Petrochemical Ethylene Plant.
For more than 30 years, he devoted himself to ethylene plants: innovating technology, optimizing production, publishing papers, leading teams, discovering and dealing with more than 30 major hidden dangers, and growing from a most ordinary operator to a senior technician
with "unique skills".

Repeatedly delved into the ethylene plant

When Liu Tiebin first joined the work in 1990, the degree of automation of the ethylene plant was not high
.
As an operator, Liu Tiebin has many "hands-on" opportunities
.
He took the initiative to explore and comprehensively learn the equipment and process principles
.
He is like a "martial idiot", treating every part of the ethylene device as a martial arts move, and repeatedly studying and exploring
.

In 2016, Liu Tiebin participated in the preparation and commissioning
of the ethylene plant of the 1 million tons/year ethylene and refining reconstruction and expansion project.
Through his valuable experience, he has adopted dozens of rationalization proposals during the basic design and detailed design of the plant
.
He is fully committed
to ethylene plant PID review, 3D model review, HAZOP analysis, simulation software review, and factory performance testing of key equipment.

While solving technical problems, he also attaches importance to the combination of practice and theory, constantly reviewing, reflecting, summarizing, and publishing many papers, which further increases his personal "energy value"
.
Since joining the work, he has led the team to solve the problems of removing acid gas from alkaline washing towers, reducing the amount of gasoline carried by the device, and reducing the accumulation of butter in the tower
.

The first full-process simulation test method

In 2019, as the construction of the ethylene plant came to an end, the operation team came to the site and entered the stage of preparation for the start of construction
.
Liu Tiebin led the operation team to complete the internal cleaning and tower internals inspection of more than 5,000 pipelines/sections in advance
.

The commissioning and start-up of the core equipment "three units" of ethylene plant has always been a difficult task
.
He resolutely undertook the arduous task of "three-unit" test run, and pioneered the whole process simulation test method, that is, under the condition of not introducing steam, complete all the starting conditions of the compressor, and simulate the speed up operation after the unit is reset, so as to test the reliability of the speed off assembly and the speed regulation system and the interlock protection system, expose and solve the problem in advance, and reduce the risk
in the operation of the unit.

After one and a half months, Liu Tiebin led the operation team to complete the test work of the three major units and created a record
of successful start-up.

After the ethylene plant was successfully put into operation in September 2020, the production entered a period of stable operation, and Liu Tiebin took on the heavy responsibility
of tail construction and on-site 5S management.
In the nearly one year that the plant was put into operation, there have been several difficult problems in the production of the device, and Liu Tiebin has overcome
them one by one.

Cultivate a technical team

As a senior on the petrochemical front and the leader of the installation team, Liu Tiebin resolutely shouldered the responsibility
of leading the team to make progress together.

During the ethylene plant construction stage, a group of young operators entered the company, and because of his rich operating experience, Liu Tiebin became a trainee leader
.
In a few months, he not only taught what he knew and learned, but also vigorously promoted the construction of grassroots teams, enhanced the cohesion and combat effectiveness of the team, and led this young operation team to successfully complete the internship task
.

In the eyes of his apprentice E Ruiming, Master is a respected senior with both ability and integrity
.
He said: "Master is very technically excellent, and I am lucky
to be able to follow him step by step to complete the test run of the 'three units' and the start-up of the entire device.
The ethylene plant is a large plant with a long process and many
operating positions.
He used his experience to look at the overall situation and direct the on-site operation, and he could think of and remind us in advance of all the key points and details in the start of the construction to avoid secondary accidents
caused by connection problems.
With him, we are at ease
