Reflection on Intelligent Monitoring Caused by Significant Production Accidents

Abstract:

It is practical in our country’s industry and global industry that safety accidents occur frequently and major production accidents cause painful price. Reflection on the intelligent monitoring is generated based on the harsh reality. Generally speaking, the intelligent monitoring refers to supervision and control of plant operation safety through intelligent programming by collecting and integrating wisdom of an engineering designer, a plant operator and an equipment manufacturer. A valve is called the “throat” in various kinds of pipe network systems of enterprises in petroleum, electricity and chemistry industries. Operational safety of industrial valves causes high attention. According to relevant data statistics, one third of significant production accidents occurring in the world every year are caused by valve accidents. Among the several major and significant petrochemical safety accidents occurring in our country in recent years, operators were neglectful and careless and opened or closed valves in a wrong way to cause explosion; in the electric industry all over the world, significant accidents such as electric leakage and power outage caused by improper valve management brought immeasurable losses, such as the significant Three Mile Island Nuclear Power Station Accident in USA, to normal operation and people’s property safety and so forth in industrial production. Damages and losses of such kind of accidents have brought very serious influences to relevant industries and society. The paper describes the intelligent monitoring with the valve safety problem of big probability events as instances.
