[0044] When there is no flow in the first flow meter 4, the pneumatic proportional control valve of the nitrogen branch does not operate. When the detection value of the oxygen detector 5 is greater than 9%, the pneumatic proportional control valve of the nitrogen branch increases by 10% to reduce the proportion of oxygen in the mixed gas. When the detection value of the oxygen detector 5 is less than 9%, the pneumatic proportional control valve of the nitrogen branch decreases by another 10% and returns to the original opening.

[0045] The nitrogen-oxygen mixing system is used to ensure that the inhibitor in the styrene storage tank is fully in contact with oxygen to maintain its activity during the storage of styrene raw materials.

In addition, the nitrogen-oxygen mixing system also ensures that the styrene storage tank is safely stored in a nitrogen-sealed manner.
