Abstract
To enhance the safety of the ethylene plant startup process,this study identified five categories of typical safety risks associated with startup operations.Focusing on critical equipment including cracking fur-naces,compressors,and separation systems,the underlying causes of ten typical problems-such as excessively rapid heating,furnace tube coking,compressor surge,and reactor temperature runaway-were thoroughly ana-lyzed,and targeted technical countermeasures were subsequently proposed.Building upon this analysis,four comprehensive control strategies were developed:the dynamic optimization of startup procedures,virtual reality(VR)immersive emergency training,hierarchical management of intelligent alarms,and the integrated applica-tion of full-process intelligent process control(IPC)technology.Practical application in an enterprise demon-strated that the proposed strategies effectively improved the inherent safety of the ethylene plant during its startup phase.Consequently,this research provides valuable insights and practical references for ensuring the safe and efficient startup of ethylene plants.关键词
