Because natural gas is flammable and explosive, it is very dangerous in the processes of storage and transportation, pressure regulation, filtration, and filling. Once an accident occurs, it will cause huge losses. Therefore, the safety management of natural gas filling stations is particularly important.

The materials involved in natural gas filling stations are LNG, CNG, and tetrahydrothiophene. The mixture of natural gas and air can form an explosive mixture, which can easily burn and explode when exposed to open flames and high heat and can cause violent chemical reactions with fluorine and chlorine. Its vapor is heavier than air and can spread to a considerable distance in a lower place, and it will cause back-combustion when it encounters an open flame. In case of high heat, the internal pressure of the container will increase and there is a danger of cracking and explosion.

During the operation of process facilities, pressure regulating facilities such as pressure regulating skids are noisy, and if they are exposed to this environment for a long time, they are likely to cause occupational diseases such as tinnitus and noise deafness.

Both natural gas and tetrahydrothiophene are toxic substances. If the toxic and hazardous materials in the pipes, valves and other equipment are not thoroughly cleaned up during inspection and maintenance, it is easy to cause poisoning of the operators.

The public works in the station are mainly electric facilities, and its hidden dangers include electrical equipment selection, improper installation, improper maintenance, grounding, zero connection damage or failure, etc. Leakage causes electric shock accident injury, improper lightning protection grounding and lightning strikes, resulting in fire and explosion, equipment damage, and personal electric shock. If the automatic control instrument is damaged or malfunctions, there will be dangers of fire, explosion, poisoning, etc.

As an important energy source, natural gas plays a huge role in production and life. Its physical and chemical properties, especially its inflammable and explosive characteristics, are well known. In the future, we should also abide by the rules and regulations and create safe and standardized gas filling stations.
