At 13:43 on January 14, 2020, a flash explosion occurred in the pre- hydrogenation unit of reforming and hydrogenation device of Zhuhai Changlian Petrochemical Equipment Co., Ltd.
At 3:27 p.m. that day, the open fire was snuffed out with no casualties found. The company and its surrounding personnel were evacuated safely.
After the fire was put out, we still can't take it taken lightly. All forces at the accident scene stuck to fighting on the front line to prevent the recurrence strictly. Due to the complex environment, it was necessary to conduct long-term fixed-point monitoring by the tethered UAV. Ziyan quickly dispatched three staff members to the site after receiving the dispatching order at 6:00 p.m. on the same day, carrying the tethered UAV system to provide adequate support for the accident.

01 Live high-definition video is sent back to the emergency command center in real-time to control the scene in time
The ZIYAN PARUS unmanned helicopter with the tethered system can not only monitor the fire in real-time but also monitor the fire temperature through infrared thermal imaging by mounting the visible light + infrared thermal imaging dual light camera, which can provide the fire commander with a centralized cooling key area indication, proper scheduling and timely elimination of hidden dangers.

Guangdong fire-fighting rescue troops at the site of the accident praised Ziyan's work.
Ziyan sent the high-definition images back to the dispatching center of Guangdong fire rescue Corps in real-time according to the requirements so that the senior management could grasp the overall situation of the accident in time and command efficiently, which was highly praised by the local senior management.
02 Efficient ground-air cooperation in helping accurate cooling
With the efficient cooperation of the ground and air, ZIYAN UAV found many high-temperature points at the accident site, which effectively assisted the fire fighters to accurately cool down and successfully eliminate the potential safety hazards in the high-temperature area, and avoided re-ignition.
03 Overnight flight with the tethered system, achieving 12h+ air stagnation monitoring
Through the power supply of more than 100 meters of cable, the aerial monitoring of the accident site was carried out by the unmanned helicopter PARUS all night.
By 10 a.m. on January 15, potential safety hazards were entirely eliminated at the accident scene. During this period, the ZIYAN unmanned helicopter, PARUS, kept on hovering over the accident site, escorting the rescue work.
Our members, who stayed up late to work, still had plenty of fight left in them.
2020 is the fifth year of the founding of ZIYAN, which is honored to contribute to society on such a special day. In the future, ZIYAN will still adhere to the principle of "giving priority to science and technology, guarding ways of life!" dedicated to innovate and make air-ground integrated solutions benefit more fields.
