CLEANING VENTILATION SYSTEMS AT EXPLOSIVE HAZARDOUS FACILITIES IN OIL AND GAS INDUSTRY

Abstract

The article discusses the current problem of cleaning ventilation systems at oil and gas industry facilities to ensure safe operation and maintenance of equipment. Ventilation systems for explosive hazardous facilities are subject to special requirements, since contaminated air ducts and channels, as well as ventilation equipment, cause emergency situations in-doors. Therefore, ventilation systems, in order to ensure their normal operation, require constant monitoring and timely maintenance, which consists of diagnosing and cleaning air ducts and equipment. The work identifies factors destabilizing the reliability of ventilation systems at explosive sites. To ensure reliable and safe operation of ventilation systems at explosive facilities in the oil and gas industry and timely detection of defects and contaminants in air ducts, it is proposed to use modern equipment and cleaning measures significantly increasing the efficiency of ventilation systems and minimizing the negative impact of harmful substances on the environment.The main factors influencing the operation of ventilation systems have been identified, the reasons for disruption of their functioning have been identified, and a cleaning method and sequence have been developed to improve the efficiency of ventilation equipment and air ducts. It has been shown that for high-quality operation of ventilation systems, comprehensive maintenance and timely cleaning of air ducts, ventilation shafts and ventilation equipment from dirt and deposits are necessary. The recommended measures can be used to improve the efficiency of ventilation systems at explosive facilities in the oil and gas industry and other areas of production. The expected result will be a reduction in the negative impact of harmful substances on the personnel health and the environment.
