Jeonnam Province Launches All-Out Effort to Create a Safe Yeosu Industrial Complex
Do-Environment Ministry-Yeosu City-Yeosu Gwangyang Port Corporation 'Chemical Accident Remote Monitoring Project' Agreement
[Muan=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Yoon Jamin] Jeonnam Province announced on the 29th that it has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Ministry of Environment, Yeosu City, and Yeosu Gwangyang Port Authority to promote a remote monitoring project for chemical accidents in aging industrial complexes at the Yeosu National Industrial Complex.
The chemical accident remote monitoring project is part of the Korean version of the Digital New Deal promoted by the Ministry of Environment and will be implemented in 15 regions nationwide targeting industrial complexes by 2025. The Yeosu Industrial Complex was selected as the pilot project starting for the first time this year.
Accordingly, a system will be established to monitor in real-time 24 hours a day by installing high-resolution thermal imaging cameras and infrared analysis equipment that can detect leaks and spills of hazardous chemicals even from a long distance around the Yeosu Industrial Complex.
In addition, advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), big data, and drones will be utilized to provide rapid accident response information.
The Ministry of Environment, Jeonnam Province, Yeosu City, and Yeosu Gwangyang Port Authority signed the MOU and agreed to share chemical accident information from the remote monitoring system to build a safety net for the local community and strengthen cooperation in chemical accident response.
