Integrated solution for gas safety monitoring in warehousing and logistics

Integrated solution for gas safety monitoring in warehousing and logistics

Industry Pain Points

Warehouse logistics is a complex risk area characterized by "concentration of hazardous materials + diverse types of goods + frequent personnel access": ① **Hazardous Chemicals Warehouse**: flammable liquids (LEL) + toxic (H2S/HCN) + corrosive (HCl/Cl2) + explosive (nitrates/chlorates) are stored in separate warehouses according to GB 17914-2013, but management is out of control when multiple chemical enterprises share a park warehouse; ② **Cold Chain Logistics**: ammonia refrigerant leakage (explosion + poisoning) + dry ice CO2 hypoxia + oxygen depletion in enclosed refrigerated trucks; ③ **AGV / Lithium Battery Charging Area**: thermal runaway of power batteries (H2 + CO + smoke, rapid fire out-of-control); ④ **Hazardous Materials Handling**: ports / inland river ports / highway / railway stations, with high risk of frequent reloading; ⑤ **Bonded Zone + Cross-border Logistics**: customs supervision + hazardous materials declaration + complex emergency response coordination. The essence of the 2015 Tianjin Port explosion was the lack of management and gas monitoring for hazardous chemical storage. At the regulatory level, GB 17914 for hazardous chemical warehouses + GB 50016 for building fire protection + dual control in the park + annual rigorous review by the Emergency Management Bureau.

Solution Overview

Youri'an provides comprehensive monitoring for hazardous chemical warehouses, cold chains, AGV charging areas, and loading and unloading stations: ① **Hazardous chemical warehouses**: Monitoring is conducted by zones based on the characteristics of stored substances (Class A warehouse: LEL + benzene PID; Class B warehouse: LEL + toxicity-specific; Class C warehouse: LEL + smoke detection) + linkage with automatic sprinklers/explosion-proof exhaust fans/emergency broadcasts within the warehouse; ② **Cold chain cold storage**: Combined monitoring of ammonia NH3 (explosion + poisoning), oxygen deficiency O2, and LEL, with separate protection for the refrigeration room; ③ **AGV/lithium battery charging area**: H2 (early signal of battery thermal runaway at ppm level sensitivity) + CO + smoke + infrared thermal imaging (early hot spot detection, fire prevention), with linkage to the fire protection system to initiate targeted fire suppression; ④ **Hazardous goods loading and unloading stations**: Fixed LEL + H2S + grounding status + static electricity monitoring; ⑤ **Central WMS/EHS platform**: Real-time display of gas status on walls for warehouses/racks/loading and unloading points + GPS truck positioning + emergency evacuation route recommendation + docking with customs/emergency management bureau regulatory platforms.

## Key Monitoring Nodes

### Hazardous Chemicals Warehouse (Classified According to GB 17914)

– **Class A warehouse** (flash point < 28℃, strong combustion): acetone / ether / methanol / benzene, etc. → LEL + PID (VOC PPB level) + infrared imaging
– **Class B storage** (flash point: 28-60℃): diesel / heavy oil / alcohols → LEL + smoke detection
– **Class C warehouse** (above 60℃ + flammable solids): sulfur / nitrates → LEL + temperature (preventing spontaneous combustion)
– **Corrosive Chamber** (Acid and Alkali): HCl / sulfuric acid mist + Cl2 (bleach) + NH3 (ammonia)
– **Highly Toxic Substance Warehouse** (double-person double-lock): dedicated probe for highly toxic substance leakage + video linkage + intrusion alarm

### Cold Chain Cold Storage

– **Ammonia refrigeration room**: NH3 (range 0-1000 ppm, 10 ppm warning + 30 ppm emergency exhaust activation) + O2 + LEL
– **Inside cold storage (-18℃ to -25℃)**: Probe specifically designed for low-temperature environments (regular probes become ineffective at -10℃)
– **Refrigerated vehicle loading and unloading port**: CO2 + oxygen deficiency (dry ice transportation)

### AGV / Lithium Battery Charging Area (Emerging Risk)

– **H2 (hydrogen)**: H2 will be released during the early stages of thermal runaway in power batteries (lithium iron phosphate / ternary), and the sensor sensitivity is set at 0.01 ppm to trigger an alarm
– **CO**: By-product of battery electrolyte decomposition
– **Smoke**: Early indication of a fire hazard
– **Infrared thermal imaging**: Battery temperature field inversion, with normal temperature 50℃ automatically triggering an alarm, initiating directional measures, and isolating the area
– **Emergency linkage**: Detection of thermal runaway symptoms → Initiation of targeted fire suppression + emergency ventilation + area isolation + notification to operators

### Hazardous Materials Loading and Unloading Station (Road / Rail / Wharf)

– Fixed LEL + H2S + Grounding Wire Status
– Crew portable 4-in-1
– Flow rate / concentration measurement (oil and gas recovery efficiency ≥ 95%)
– Video linkage violation recognition (no PPE handling / no electrostatic discharge wristband worn)

## Key Technical Indicators

– Explosion-proof: Ex d IIB T4 (Class A warehouse) / Ex d IIC T6 (H2-containing lithium battery charging area)
– Protection: IP65 (IP66 in cold storage + low temperature tolerance)
– Range: H2 0.01-100% LEL (ppb sensitivity required for lithium battery scenarios)
– Operating temperature: -30℃ ~ +60℃ (cold storage + outdoor warehouse)
– Communication: 4G + LoRa (warehouses usually lack WiFi coverage)
– Battery life: Remote hazardous chemical warehouses require a battery-powered version with a 5-year lifespan

## Implementation Key Points

1. **Hazardous Chemicals Warehouse Level Response**: Low alarm → warehouse manager checks; high alarm → initiates spraying/ventilation + notifies supervisor; ultra-high alarm → emergency response + evacuation + 119 linkage
2. **AGV Charging Thermal Runaway**: Detection of H2 + abnormal temperature → immediate shut-off of the charging station + isolation + initiation of targeted fire suppression
3. **Cold chain ammonia leakage**: NH3 is easily soluble in water. In emergency situations, use water spray for dilution, initiate emergency ventilation, and shut down the compressor
4. **Customs + Emergency Management Bureau Compliance**: All gas monitoring data in cross-border logistics scenarios can be integrated with the customs declaration system + Emergency Management Bureau
5. **Multi-customer shared warehouse**: Each shipper has an independent account + data isolation to prevent the leakage of trade secrets

## Regulatory Basis

– GB 17914-2013 “Technical Conditions for Storage and Maintenance of Inflammable and Explosive Goods”
– GB 50016-2014 Code for Fire Protection Design of Buildings
– GB 50140-2005 Design of Fire Extinguisher Allocation in Buildings
– Regulations on the Safety Administration of Hazardous Chemicals (Decree No. 591 of the State Council)
– AQ/T 9006 Emergency rescue command and handling
– GB 50493-2019 Detection and Alarm Design for Industrial Gas Detection Equipment
– GB 50057-2010 Design of Lightning Protection for Buildings (Lightning Protection for Warehouses)
