Walking the Front Line, Reforming Our Writing Style | Guarding the Command Center at Fingertips, Women Shining in Their Prime — The Central Control Room of Inner Mongolia Ruixin Chemical Co., Ltd. Has Been Awarded the “National Model Worker Team” Title.

Rooted in the frontline of the Alashan High-tech Industrial Development Zone’s chemical industry, the 11 female employees of the Central Control Room at Inner Mongolia Ruixin Chemical have steadfastly held key production positions for eight years, vigilantly monitoring equipment operating parameters around the clock and upholding the safety bottom line with meticulous care. Through their unwavering dedication and hands-on commitment day after day, this all‑female team was honored with the National Workers’ Vanguard Award in 2026, shining with a distinctive flair on the frontlines of the chemical sector.

At one in the morning, as the city lay deep in sleep, the central control room of Ruixin Chemical remained brightly lit. On the massive DCS screen, process‑control data pulsed and updated in real time. Five on‑duty operators kept their eyes fixed on the dynamic curves, continuously monitoring the smooth operation of the entire production unit. As the “central brain” of chemical manufacturing, the control room coordinates the entire production workflow, anticipates safety risks, and addresses unexpected hazards—serving as the company’s critical line of defense for safe operations.

Our shift doesn’t distinguish between day and night—there’s only being on duty or standing by. The central control room is the lifeblood of production; even a slight deviation in a single parameter can lead to a major incident. There’s no room for the slightest carelessness—we must remain constantly vigilant.

Ma Yujiao, the shift supervisor in the central control room, has been on the job for eight years and serves as the team’s leader in ensuring safety and stable production. Every morning, she conducts the shift handover on time, meticulously reviewing the night-shift operating records and rigorously monitoring critical parameters such as electrolyzer temperature, equipment pressure, and chlorine purity, leaving no detail unchecked. One unexpected incident during a night shift left a lasting impression on the team. At 2:00 a.m., while performing a routine inspection of the data curves, the operator noticed a gradual rise in the main chlorine‑gas pipeline pressure and a slow reduction in the opening of the reflux control valve—subtle fluctuations that could easily be overlooked but which turned out to be early warning signs of a pipeline blockage.

At that moment, my heart was in my throat—I feared pipeline blockages and equipment malfunctions. If an incident had escalated, the consequences would have been unimaginable. We kept a close eye on the curves while simultaneously calling for on-site inspections, nipping potential hazards in the bud within ten minutes. Looking back now, it still sends a shiver down my spine, but it also fills me with a profound sense of accomplishment.

This rapid response stems from the team’s rigorous, day-in-and-day-out training. They strictly enforce management protocols, conducting weekly self-inspections for potential hazards, maintaining closed-loop record-keeping each week, and holding monthly debriefings to review and summarize lessons learned. Over the past three years, they have corrected 137 instances of non‑compliant operations and addressed 280 identified safety risks, boosting their emergency response speed by 40%. For eight years—through more than 2,900 days and nights—they have remained steadfast, upholding an impeccable track record of zero errors, zero mistakes, and zero accidents, thereby firmly safeguarding the company’s baseline for safe production.

While safeguarding safety as the bottom line, the team has grounded its efforts in actual production conditions, focusing on technological upgrades to enhance quality and reduce costs while boosting efficiency. Zhao Jiangli, a key technical member of the team, dedicates herself to data analysis, centering on optimizing electrolyzer operations. She leads her colleagues in meticulously comparing operating curves from previous years and, during her spare time, repeatedly simulating and fine-tuning the system. After more than a hundred simulation runs and dozens of on-site adjustments, the team successfully identified the optimal combination of operating parameters, increasing the reaction efficiency of each cell by 5%. Though this improvement may seem modest, it translates into tangible gains: the enterprise can now produce an additional 968 tons of metallic sodium and 1,500 tons of liquid chlorine annually, generating over RMB 14 million in added economic value and saving 3.49 million kWh of electricity—achieving dual benefits of improved quality and output, along with energy conservation and cost reduction.

During that period, I was completely obsessed—my mind was consumed by temperature, pressure, and voltage. I thought about it at every meal and even in my sleep, constantly pondering how to fine-tune the parameters to achieve optimal performance, squeezing out a bit more efficiency while cutting energy consumption even further.

Keeping pace with the enterprise’s green transformation, the team has proactively tackled low‑carbon technological upgrades. Leveraging projects such as the renovation of the electrolyzer chlorine system and the optimization of accident‑chlorine absorption and treatment processes, the team has secured three national invention patents and reduced annual carbon emissions by approximately 50,960 kilograms. Through refined, intelligent management and control, the team has helped the company steadily achieve green, low‑carbon production.

By integrating the characteristics of new‑energy generation, we have optimized our operational strategies, thereby supporting enterprises’ green transformation while also aligning with the national “dual carbon” goals.

Grounded in the realities of their roles, the team has strengthened its internal development, with Party members taking the lead and spearheading the resolution of challenging tasks. Senior employees mentor and pass on their expertise, enabling new hires to grow rapidly, while colleagues keep one another informed and support each other. Over the years, despite changes in team membership, the spirit of unity, collaboration, pragmatism, and a strong sense of responsibility has remained unchanged.

This honor does not belong to any one individual; it is the result of eight years of tireless, round‑the‑clock effort and painstaking dedication by our eleven sisters. With screens never dimmed and our posts never let down, we will continue to fine‑tune every parameter and perfect each operation, steadfastly safeguarding the command center and holding the front line, contributing our women’s strength to the development of our enterprise and the High‑Tech Zone.

Day and night alternate, with round-the-clock vigilance. From safety management to technological innovation, from energy conservation and consumption reduction to green development, the 11 female employees in the central control room of Ruixin Chemical uphold their mission with a strong sense of responsibility and dedicate themselves to frontline operations with meticulous craftsmanship. Being awarded the “National Workers’ Vanguard Unit” is both an acknowledgment and a source of inspiration. Moving forward, they will continue to hold fast to their critical roles in chemical production, exemplify pioneering spirit, and contribute their distinctive strength to the high-quality industrial development of the Alashan High-tech Industrial Development Zone.
