Abstract: With the continuous rapid growth of the methionine industry's production volume, the risk of fire and explosion in its production process has become an important factor restricting the industry's development. This article systematically explores the fire and explosion risks in methionine production and the corresponding prevention and control measures. Firstly, through the analysis of standard regulations and the development situation of the industry, it reveals the fire and explosion risks in methionine production from four dimensions: production process, production equipment, fire safety management, and the overall development situation of the industry. Risks at the process level mainly include uncontrolled reactions and leakage of hazardous materials, risks at the equipment level include failure of sealing, electrical defects, and corrosion-induced leakage, and risks at the management level include shortage of professional personnel, deviation in standard implementation, and insufficient application of new technologies. The macro-level risk stems from the structural mismatch between the rapid technological iteration in the industry and the lagging update of fire standards, resulting in low efficiency in safety investment and high international compliance costs. Based on the above risk analysis results, corresponding prevention and control measures for fire and explosion risks in methionine production are proposed from the technical, management, and standard aspects. The research results provide a systematic method and framework for solving the problem of insufficient application efficiency of fire protection technology in the methionine production industry, and promote the safe and sustainable development of the methionine industry.
