The ESD system of crude oil tank farm of Guangzhou Petrochemical Terminal was put into use

On November 8, the ESD (Emergency Shutdown System) system of the first crude oil tank farm in Guangzhou Petrochemical Crude Oil Terminal - Huade Petrochemical Mawhizhou was installed and put into use, and all 12 crude oil tank shut-off valves realized the functions of on-site emergency shutdown and remote emergency shutdown outside the fire embankment, adding another guarantee
to the safety of the crude oil tank farm.

The first crude oil tank farm in Huade Petrochemical Mawhizhou was put into operation in 1997, and some tank groups have been built for more than 25 years, because the tank shut-off valve does not have the function of on-site emergency shutdown and remote emergency shutdown outside the fire embankment, once there is an emergency, it is impossible to remotely control and automatically cut off the oil tank inlet and outlet, there are certain risks
.

To this end, after full evaluation, Huade Petrochemical decided to add the first crude oil tank farm ESD system
in Mawhi State.
An emergency shutdown function is installed outside the fire embankment of the emergency shut-off valve of a crude oil tank, and a remote control function is added to the SCADA (Data Acquisition and Monitoring Control System) system
.

In March, Huade Petrochemical issued a design commission to the design institute, and with the full support of relevant technical personnel, after on-site investigation and careful calculation, the detailed design was completed in only one month; Carry out the submission of material procurement plans, and carry out contract handling and construction plan preparation, review, counter-signature and other work
at the same time.
After intensive preparation, the project officially started at the end of June
.

In order to ensure the completion of the project as soon as possible, Lian Haoyun, senior engineer of the biotechnology department of Huade Petrochemical, has repeatedly led technical personnel, equipment manufacturers, instrument personnel, etc.
, to work overtime for construction and commissioning
.
During this period, they have overcome many difficulties such as regional lockdown, material procurement and allocation difficulties caused by the epidemic, and the impact of adverse weather and sea closure, and after more than 4 months of efforts, they have ensured that the project is put into use
as scheduled.

"After the system is put into use, in the event of an emergency, the on-duty personnel can close the valve as soon as possible on the spot or remotely, adding an insurance
to the safety of the crude oil tank farm.
" Zhong Wenhui, the dispatcher of the third shift of the first station in Mawhizhou, said
