Abstract

Workers who perform catalyst replacement inside chemical reactors face life-threatening risks. This paper describes a system designed for safeguarding workers working in the confined chemical reactors at the Formosa Petrochemical Corporation's refinery plant. The system monitors the status of every worker by continuously receiving radio frequency signal and detects life-threatening events quickly and effectively.
