Scientific Seminar on "Explosion-proof Electrical Equipment in Industrial and National Energy Projects."

Lieutenant General, Associate Professor, Ph.D. Le Quang Bon - President of the Fire Prevention and Fighting University.

The presentations at the seminar highlighted the current challenges in the design and selection of explosion-proof equipment in Vietnam, such as the lack of a national standard system and the shortage of specialized human resources. As a result, it is necessary to classify the explosion hazard levels for various projects and to raise awareness about fire and explosion safety.

Additionally, there were several proposed solutions, including the use and operation of electrical equipment in explosive hazard zones in industrial facilities and national energy projects. Another solution involved the use of new thermal camera technology in industries and environments prone to fire and explosions.

Delegates presented papers on explosion-proof electrical equipment to analyze, evaluate, and focus their discussions.

Ms. Nguyen Vu Quynh Nguyen, General Director of DPKT Technical Development Service Trading Co., Ltd., analyzed and evaluated explosion hazard environments and explosion safety in industry from two perspectives: the legal framework and international and Vietnamese technical standards.

Ms. Nguyen highlighted several existing challenges and difficulties in selecting explosion-proof equipment, which could lead to consequences such as difficulty in determining investment levels, legal compliance issues, and challenges in selecting appropriate technical solutions. She proposed solutions such as including requirements for the use of electrical and explosion-proof equipment in the new Fire Prevention and Fighting Law and supplementing relevant regulations, standards, and guidelines.

At the seminar, experts, investors, and representatives from various businesses engaged in discussions to address and clarify outstanding questions and concerns.
