An explosion occurred in a chemical company in Luoyang, Henan Province. What caused the explosion?

An explosion occurred in a chemical enterprise in Luoyang, Henan Province, which was caused by the leakage of the heating furnace, causing deflagration. It happened in a private chemical enterprise, located in National Highway 208, Geely District, Luoyang City, and the construction site was on the east side of the road. This leaking and deflagrating enterprise was named Henan Zhongtuo Lihe Chemical Co., Ltd. After the accident, all levels of departments in Luoyang, including fire departments, environmental protection departments and emergency teams, rushed to the scene to deal with the accident at the first time. With the intervention of relevant departments, the fire in this chemical enterprise has been put out by fire fighting. Because the company produces chemicals, it also tested the surrounding air, and the test results did not exceed the standard, and everything was normal.

The company mainly produces pentane, hexane, heptane isomer, octane isomer, isohexane, liquefied petroleum gas, petroleum ether and food additives.

Judging from the company's products, some products are flammable. This accident should be a wake-up call for this enterprise and similar enterprises. The manager of the chemical plant should regularly check and maintain the relevant equipment, so that the explosion accident caused by the leakage point caused by the equipment failure will not happen again. Fortunately, the explosion did not cause any casualties.

After the accident was handled, highways and other roads were unblocked. During the rescue, the fire brigade dispatched 30 fire engines and 100 firefighters participated in the rescue. It can be seen that the relevant departments attach great importance to the handling of this accident and the response is very effective. It is precisely because the relevant departments intervened in the first time that the chemical plant did not suffer too much loss and there were no casualties. Although there were no casualties in the accident, the relevant departments deployed a lot of manpower and material resources. These accidents could have been avoided, so it is better to be cautious in daily production. There have been frequent accidents in chemical plants recently, so it is necessary to strengthen supervision.
