The Die Casting Plant Emergency Plan Of Leakage Liquefied Petroleum Gas And Molten Aluminum

1.Event Simulation And Scheduling

  • 1.0 Purpose:In order to prevent the occurrence of fire and explosion accidents caused by the leakage of liquefied gas from the melting furnace, the gas holding furnace, and the leakage of high-temperature aluminum liquid, when the accident occurs, the rescue and disaster relief work can be carried out in an organized and smooth manner to minimize the casualties and property losses. The normal working order ensures that emergency rescue measures can be taken in time when an emergency dangerous situation occurs, to avoid casualties and minimize losses.
  • 2.0 scope:Major accidents in the die-casting department mainly include: gas leaks, poisoning, liquid aluminum leaks, fires, and explosions
  • 3.0 Responsibilities for handling emergency and dangerous situations
  • 3.1 The department manager is fully responsible for the emergency rescue of emergencies and the commander-in-chief of emergency response measures;
  • 3.2 The departmental security officer is responsible for the specific implementation and organization of emergency and dangerous emergency actions;
  • 3.3 After an accident occurs, the personnel found should immediately report to the on-site management personnel (squad leader or dispatcher), the on-site management personnel (squad leader or dispatcher) should immediately notify the department manager and safety officer, and at the same time, organize the evacuation of personnel according to the situation of the on-site accident . The department manager or safety officer informs and directs each emergency team to carry out relevant rescue and accident handling work. When there is a fire alarm, the company’s security fire brigade must be notified to participate in the accident rescue work, and each emergency team must follow the command and dispatch.
  • 3.4 In the event of an emergency, every employee has the obligation to report to the police.
  • 3.5 On-site personnel of emergencies are responsible for emergency notification and actively participate in rescue work under the conditions of ensuring their own safety.
  • 4.0 Organization: need to have strict control personnel
  • 5.0 Hazard source and risk analysis:The melting furnace and gas holding furnace in the die-casting department use liquefied petroleum gas as fuel. During use, if the pipelines, joints are damaged, illegal operations, and paralyzed negligence, it will cause the leakage of liquefied gas. If it is not handled in time, it will cause gas poisoning. , Equipment explosion accidents have caused significant personal and property losses. Such vicious accidents must be prevented.;Aluminum alloy becomes liquid after being melted at high temperature. It is called molten aluminum. The temperature of molten aluminum is as high as 600-750℃. Water splashing into molten aluminum may cause molten aluminum to splash and explode, and oil splashing into molten aluminum may cause fire. Improper management of high-temperature molten aluminum can cause equipment damage and personal injury. During the production process of melting furnace and holding furnace, and the transfer process of molten aluminum forklift, due to equipment failures, operating errors, and illegal operations will cause molten aluminum leakage, splashing, and even explosions. Failure to handle them in time will cause significant personal and property losses. This must be prevented. The occurrence of such accidents.
  • 6.0 Basic Principles of Emergency Response:When an accident occurs, the relevant personnel shall take necessary rescue measures in accordance with the requirements of the rescue plan and the on-site situation. At the same time, they should promptly report to the higher-level person in charge. The on-site commander will immediately formulate a preliminary rescue plan and notify the fire security and company rescue team (involving Liquefied petroleum gas related incidents), immediately went to the scene of the accident, and at the same time notified relevant units to rush to the scene of the accident to assist in the rescue;While carrying out emergency rescue work quickly and striving to minimize the loss, the personal safety of the on-site personnel should be considered first. For example, when an explosion and fire accident may break out again and endanger the lives of personnel, the rescue should be stopped and evacuate quickly. Safe zone, wait for the flame to go out naturally.

Specific Emergency Plan

Preventive measures:During equipment maintenance, it is not allowed to rinse the equipment with water to prevent water from splashing into the molten aluminum of the holding furnace and causing the molten aluminum to explode.

Emergency countermeasures:

  1. Quickly turn off the water main switch of the relevant die-casting machine, make emergency avoidance, and notify the department safety officer in time, and deal with it after the molten aluminum is stationary.
  2. People around leave the accident area quickly.
