MTL - Monster Factory-Chapter 24 : Race against time
Many chemical raw materials need to maintain a specific temperature during synthesis, so that the molecular activities in the raw materials are intensified, the energy is increased, and the catalyst is reacted, and then converted into another medium substance.
No matter in the laboratory, the reactor is not much larger than the pressure cooker, or the large-scale chemical plant, up to tens of meters, can reflect hundreds of tons of giants at a time.
But if you are engaged in chemical industry, you cannot leave this tool.
In Gangjie Chemical, the reactor that encountered the failure was a steam-heated reactor.
This behemoth is divided into two layers, and the high temperature steam is injected into the middle spacer layer to rapidly increase the temperature inside the reactor.
Now that the high-pressure steam pipe is broken, a large amount of steam leaks out from the lake, and the temperature in the reactor is of course not lifted.
“Professor Zhang, Professor Zhang.” Boss Rongwei anxiously called the expert: “Do you think that the steam boiler can be temporarily stopped?”
Professor Zhang, who had a gray hair, came over and licked the wrinkled forehead: "The synthesis of diethanolamine is now the last step. It is heated to 120 °C in the reactor and dehydrated with the catalyst."
"The temperature is not gone, the dehydration step can't be carried out. The activity time of the catalyst is only eight hours. Now it has passed an hour. When the steam is broken, the temperature in the kettle will drop rapidly..."
“There is only one hour at most, after the steam can be heated normally, then by increasing the steam pressure to increase the temperature, and the power of the raw material warehouse, it should be able to save it, and hope to be late.”
Putting in the catalyst is an irreversible process.
Just like a bullet that was shot, once it couldn't hit the target, the bullet was wasted.
The same is true for the catalyst. Once the reaction fails, all of the raw materials are abolished and become pollutants that do not know the specific effects. They must also be destroyed at a large price.
There is still an hour to listen to, and the boss’s tears are coming out. The employees who have seized the dragon’s underwater infrastructure are anxiously shouting: “You are ready, I am ready to cut off the steam immediately.”
“One hour?” The staff of the Dragon Underwater Infrastructure Construction was not happy: “Don’t say 500,000, give one million, and you can’t do underwater pipe welding for an hour.”
"You saw this steam pipe, double-layer steel structure. Now it is broken two layers, you must cut the upper layer and clean the fiberglass to weld."
"I have less than five hours, and we are not robots. Besides, even if you can find a robot, it can't be completed in an hour."
"One million, I beg you, I am a million." Boss Rong Wei hate not to personally change the wetsuit, go down together.
"Do you know how difficult it is to weld underwater, arc ignition?"
The diver of the underwater infrastructure of the dragon, patiently gave the gold master science: "In the case of bad luck, dozens of times can be successfully triggered once, a waterproof electrode, only a few centimeters of welds can be welded under water, and the electrode is replaced. Have to float to the surface to replace."
"Of course I know the difficulty, otherwise I am going to a million?" Jin Zongwei, some of this is a little bit mad: "I don't care what you use, welding within an hour, I will give one million. ”
"Get a few more welding torches and weld them together." A worker suggested.
"Up to two welding torches, the pipes are so thick, people crowded you to play mahjong?"
One million, this is a small astronomical number. No underwater construction company can be indifferent to this money.
They are hesitating to pick up the time, and a small Jianghuai truck has killed the scene.
This truck is printed with [Submerged River Underwater Engineering], which seems to be another underwater welding company of Zhongyun. The two companies in Zhongyun are all in place.
Li Huaxing, the chairman of the board, immediately greeted him and gave everyone a cigarette. Then he pointed to the artificial lake and said that as long as the pipe can be welded within an hour, the owner of the factory can give a million yuan. .
"It should be no problem in welding, but it will not work for an hour." The manager who led the team looked at the leaky steam of the fountain. He patiently said something, similar to the previous colleague.
Of course, one million rewards are very attractive.
The two colleagues who had met each other like the enemy, they came together together at this time. Would you like to work together once and see if you can earn this million?
"But a hand, in case of a miracle!" The two team managers quickly reached an agreement.
Ye Qing didn't know how to speak at this moment. I came to the two professionals to see if they had used the stimulant-like handling equipment, or decided to wait and see.
If they can't, they will go on themselves.
After all, people do this professionally, a lot of equipment, and they are alone, and they go to the empty mouth to say that I am coming, can make people convinced.
Oxygen cylinders, electric welders, special underwater welding guns with tens of meters of long pipelines, and cutting guns are quickly removed.
The workers of Gangjie Chemical also towed the power line early, and there were two boats on the artificial lakeside that specially cleaned the surface garbage.
"Notify the steam boiler house to cut off the gas." See all the procedures are ready, the boss Rong Wei ordered.
About ten seconds later, the huge mist column in the middle of the lake slowly descended and slammed into the water.
On the boat, two divers with exhalation tubes fixed the underwater searchlights first and then slowly launched them with an ignited cutting gun.
The artificial lake is very large, and the leaking steam burns some of the herring that avoids it. But when the steam is turned off, the temperature of the entire lake does not rise too high.
The temperature of the lake water is not high, and the temperature of the pipeline near the damaged port is not high.
Under the illumination of several high-power halogen lamps, everyone on the shore clearly saw that the two divers had just launched into the water and immediately blew up with the cat on the tail.
“How are the pipes still taking hot water?” The diver spit out the respirator and screamed and screamed.
"Residual heat, waste heat!" The bank's boss Rong Wei rushed to sweat: "This is the pressure tube, the valves on both sides are closed, and the pressure in the pipeline will leak."
After waiting for ten minutes, two divers who did not stop using the water test temperature could not continue.
Listening to the staff constantly reporting the temperature changes in the reaction kettle, Rongwei was in a hurry: "What are you waiting for, I thought I was asking you to do pedicure?"
"You go, you are not iron, this pipe does not stop spraying hot water, you want to burn me."
Rong Wei said nothing, let the security guards row the boat and carry himself.
When it was time to leak, Rong Wei put his hand in and tried it, and he was completely silent.
Five minutes later, the lake stopped bubbling. Rong Wei was like a geese in the middle of the gun, and suddenly stood up from the boat.
Two divers also came to the spirit, igniting the cutting gun and slowly getting into the water.
Underwater cutting work, how many people have seen it?
A lot of workers were surrounded by the shore, and they were more active than watching the star concert. Even the two firefighters who stayed here stretched their necks and looked at the lake center. Mobile phone users please visit http://m.piaotian.net
