Meteorological monitoring system for major hazard sources

Meteorological monitoring system for major hazard sources system is specifically designed to meet the safety needs of hazardous chemical storage tank areas. It provides real-time monitoring of key parameters such as wind speed, wind direction, atmospheric temperature, relative humidity, and atmospheric pressure.  Through professionally installed monitoring instruments on-site, the system provides accurate meteorological data support for the safety management of the tank area.

In the safety management system of major hazardous chemical storage tank areas, real-time monitoring of meteorological conditions is crucial. These tank areas store large quantities of flammable, explosive, or toxic chemicals, and even subtle changes in surrounding meteorological parameters can directly impact tank safety. Therefore, establishing a comprehensive meteorological monitoring system has become a fundamental requirement for modern hazardous chemical management.

Major hazardous chemical storage tank areas must be equipped with professional wind speed and wind direction monitoring instruments. Wind speed monitoring can promptly detect strong wind signals. When the wind speed exceeds a preset safety threshold, the system can issue a warning, reminding management personnel to take reinforcement measures to prevent equipment damage or material leakage. Wind direction monitoring is particularly important; in the event of a leakage accident, accurate wind direction data can help predict the pollutant diffusion path, providing critical information for emergency evacuation and response decisions.

Atmospheric temperature monitoring is also indispensable. Temperature changes directly affect the vapor pressure and chemical reaction rate of the chemicals in the tank; excessively high or low temperatures can lead to safety hazards. Continuous temperature monitoring helps regulate cooling systems or implement insulation measures to ensure that the storage tanks operate within a safe temperature range. Temperature data is also an important parameter for evaluating evaporation losses and calculating leakage rates.

Relative humidity monitoring is equally important for tank area safety. High humidity can accelerate equipment corrosion, leading to instrument malfunction or seal aging; some hazardous chemicals are extremely sensitive to humidity and may undergo unstable reactions due to moisture absorption. Real-time humidity data helps in taking preventive measures against moisture, extending equipment lifespan, and preventing secondary accidents caused by humidity.

Atmospheric pressure is another meteorological element that requires continuous monitoring. Pressure changes affect the breathing losses of the storage tanks and alter the diffusion characteristics of leaked substances. Under low-pressure conditions, chemicals are more volatile, increasing the risk of fire and explosion; sudden pressure changes can also affect the normal operation of pressure relief devices. By continuously monitoring atmospheric pressure, the system can promptly detect abnormal situations and issue alarms. A complete meteorological monitoring system should integrate these parameters into a unified platform, enabling real-time data acquisition, transmission, and analysis. Monitoring equipment should be installed according to specifications in representative locations within the tank farm, avoiding obstruction from buildings or equipment. All sensors require regular calibration and maintenance to ensure data accuracy and reliability. Monitoring data should be linked with other safety systems in the tank farm, automatically triggering corresponding emergency procedures when meteorological conditions reach warning levels.

By implementing comprehensive meteorological monitoring, tank farms containing major hazard sources can establish an invisible safety barrier. This preventive safety strategy not only meets national requirements for the regulation of major hazard sources but also reflects the company's socially responsible safety management philosophy. In today's era of increasingly significant climate change, accurate meteorological monitoring has become an indispensable technical support for ensuring the safe operation of hazardous chemical tank farms.
