Safety problems in contact with oxygen

Oxygen is a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas. It's a combustion aid. It can be mixed with combustible gases (acetylene, methane, etc.) in a certain proportion to form explosive mixture. When the oxygen concentration in the air increases to 25%, the active combustion reaction can be excited; When the oxygen concentration reaches 27%, a Mars can develop into a lively flame. Therefore, fireworks should be strictly prohibited in the oxygen workshop and around the oxygen making device. When the clothes are saturated with oxygen, they will burn quickly when they meet open fire.

 

In particular, clothes contaminated with grease may spontaneously ignite when exposed to oxygen. Therefore, oxygen saturated clothing should be immediately diluted to outdoor ventilation. Meanwhile, air separation operators or those who are exposed to oxygen or liquid oxygen are not allowed to use dishwashing oil.

Why do molecular sieves in small air separation unit use bunk beds? Molecular sieve purifiers are used in both small and large air separation plants to purify the air. carbon dioxide, acetylene, and various hydrocarbons. Some molecular sieves small air separation unit use a double bed because the adsorption capacity of activated alumina is relatively large for air with high water content, but as the water content of the air decreases, the adsorption capacity decreases rapidly. The molecular s...

It should contact with the front and rear processes when the piston compressor is ready to stop, we should pay attention to the following sequence: first, cut off the gas supply slowly. In order to prevent the outlet pressure from rising after the gas supply is cut off, open the vent valve at the same time. For the oxygen compressor, the vent valve should be opened slowly, because excessive opening may produce static electricity and cause fire. Then, stop the motor. After the motor stops, turn off the circulating oil pump, grease injector motor and cooling water valve. However, there are also exception cases. For example, in case of emergency shutdown, in order to save time and prevent the accident from expanding, the power supply can be cut off immediately to stop the compressor with load.
