With the development of economy, the petrochemical industry also develops at an amazing speed and gradually becomes the pillar industry in China. Petrochemical production process is prone to fire, explosion, and petrochemical production technology complex, operating conditions are harsh, prone to catastrophic accidents. The petrochemical industry is a high-risk field with its own characteristics, so the monitoring of production process is particularly important. Therefore, the adoption of high-tech technology to achieve the petrochemical industry fire, explosion, temperature detection, to minimize the occurrence of accidents, is the petrochemical field of the main means of prevention and control. How to achieve safe and effective, scientific and intelligent economy of human and material resources? At this time, infrared thermal imaging detection equipment can better find problems, infrared thermal imaging detection technology (non-destructive detection technology) is currently an effective diagnostic scheme, and can help the petrochemical industry greatly save human and material resources.

The main applications of infrared thermal imager in chemical industry are as follows.

1. Monitoring of oil storage tanks, gas storage tanks, furnace tubes and other equipment

Infrared thermal camera can be used to monitor the external thermal imaging characteristics of storage tank, gas tank, furnace tube and other equipment, judge the scale degree inside the tank, guide the production according to the monitoring results, and understand the damage degree of tank lining according to the thermal image, so as to make the maintenance plan.

2. Pipeline monitoring

In the field of petrochemical, due to production needs, with lots of pipelines to transport oil, gas, etc., the pipeline distribution dense, freely crisscross, as time changes, pipe insulation layer falls off, is likely to appear the phenomenon such as pipeline, pipeline scaling and corrosion damage, using the infrared thermal imager, temperature anomaly area can be found in a timely manner, and take measures to the problem killed in the cradle.

3. Monitoring of pumping units and other equipment

The pumping unit is a kind of machinery and equipment used to extract oil, and it is also the most important equipment. The infrared thermal imager can monitor the overall operating device of the pumping unit and other equipment in real time, detect hot spots in advance, and prevent equipment faults from affecting production.

4. Valve body monitoring

The infrared thermal imager can monitor the pressure-reducing valve, butterfly valve, check valve, exhaust valve, etc. If the valve fails, it will cause gas leakage and oil leakage, bring serious losses to the production, and threaten the life safety of the staff, with very serious consequences. Therefore, it is necessary to use infrared thermal camera to monitor the valve to avoid accidents.

Infrared thermal imager has been more and more applied to the petrochemical industry, playing an irreplaceable role, for the country's economic development and personal safety of staff escort!
