Second, the application and practice of the industrial Internet in the petrochemical industry

1. Application and practice of "5G + Industrial Internet" in refining and chemical enterprises

In the process of realizing the integration of the two modernizations and moving towards digital transformation, the petrochemical industry has many industry "pain points" that need to be solved in the process of digital transformation due to its complex production equipment and information management. Let's first look at the practical value of digital transformation in the petrochemical industry from the application practice of Zhenhai Refining and Chemical's introduction of "5G + Industrial Internet".

Zhenhai Refining and Chemical, as one of the pilot projects for Ningbo's in-depth implementation of industrial Internet empowerment actions, the project relies on high-quality 5G industrial private network to establish a refining and chemical integration intelligent production control platform, and deeply refinery enterprises production, operation and maintenance, environmental protection and other aspects of safety management pain points, tailor-made to create a number of typical application scenarios, the overall formation of 1+1+N intelligent refining and chemical architecture, to promote the comprehensive upgrading of refining and chemical enterprises in production safety, personnel safety, product safety and other important business links, to achieve the petrochemical industry to improve quality and efficiency, The overall goal of transformational development.

AR smart expert remote assistance: For on-site O&M personnel who encounter problems that cannot be solved and need expert remote assistance, O&M personnel can pass the first-view O&M scene screen to experts through AR devices, so that experts can work together to solve problems in O&M. O&M experts provide real-time guidance to on-site O&M personnel through the remote guidance background system, including voice, pictures, drawings and other forms of remote guidance, and on-site personnel can receive remote guidance in real time through AR device interaction, which greatly improves O&M efficiency.

5G Inspection Robot System: Empower refining production inspection through 5G+ robot technology. The use of robots equipped with infrared imagers to find leak points and portable instruments to determine leak concentrations, detect the leakage of VOCs (volatile organic compounds) in the production, transportation and storage process by stationary or mobile devices, and repair the leak points that exceed a certain concentration, improving the detection efficiency and prolonging the service life of the equipment.

Personnel safety positioning: For the network architecture built by the special internal and external network mechanism of chemical enterprises, the perception layer Bluetooth module is installed in the bracelet/badge/safety helmet and other equipment, without network cable connection, directly through wireless data transmission to save a lot of wiring installation costs. The communication base station and the intranet server are connected through switches and physically isolated gates to ensure the safety of the intranet environment of chemical enterprises.

Traceability of hazardous waste products: Taking Zhenhai refining and chemical hazardous waste production as the starting node to initiate the alliance chain, introducing enterprises and units involved in the process of hazardous waste storage, transportation, treatment, supervision, etc., the main nodes include: Zhenhai Refining and Chemical (hazardous waste production and hazardous waste temporary storage), logistics enterprises (hazardous waste transportation), environmental protection technology enterprises (hazardous waste treatment) and government supervision (environmental protection bureau, safety production supervision and management department, health authorities, etc.).

In addition to the conventional 5G + intelligent inspection, 5G + AR remote assistance, 5G + panoramic video surveillance and other plant safety management applications, the project also goes deep into the actual pain points of Zhenhai Refining and Chemical's internal production environment, creating a 5G + blockchain hazardous waste treatment traceability application, creating a new model of hazardous waste treatment traceability, and truly realizing the controllable and manageable hazardous waste.

2. The significance of the application of the industrial Internet identity resolution system in the digital transformation of the petrochemical industry

With the in-depth development of the industrial Internet industry, under the guidance of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the support of local governments, the construction of the mainland industrial Internet identity resolution system has entered the fast lane, the national top nodes have been running steadily, the secondary nodes have developed rapidly, and the results of logo application have begun to appear. Among them, the petrochemical industry has built 5 secondary nodes, access to more than 240 enterprises, and the cumulative number of logo registrations by October 2021 is 120 million.

On June 8, 2022, the 2022 China Industrial Internet Identification Conference was officially released under the guidance of the Industrial Internet Industry Alliance and led by the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology. Among them, the petrochemical industry logo application guide mainly focuses on the five digital transformation directions of petrochemical R&D and design collaboration, job site intelligence, production and operation integration, trade sales platform, energy conservation and emission reduction technology, explores the formation of identification resolution implementation path and application organization process, summarizes and refines the identification analysis application mode, and provides a reference for the relevant participants in the petrochemical industry chain to implement the industrial Internet logo application.
