In the early morning of the 20th, the leak continued. The operation compartment pipeline at the rear of the tank truck is severely deformed, with some safety accessories damaged and the valve body cracked. The expert group proposed another safe and efficient rescue implementation plan: first, direct drainage dilution, thorough drainage, then sealing, and finally transferring to a safe area for replacement. After being approved by the command center, the plan was quickly implemented, and experts from the provincial safety committee also used the domestically pioneered unconventional method to empty the residual liquid in the tank.
On the early morning of the 21st, the leakage point of the tank pipeline was successfully sealed, and safety hazards were completely eliminated. After 30 hours of emergency rescue work for the "6.19 accident", it was successfully completed. The practical work style and exquisite professional ability of the Provincial Special Inspection Institute were highly recognized by the Yongzhou Municipal Party Committee and Government.
