Lighting an industrial facility effectively increases worksite safety & productivity.
PetroChemical Facility Lighting
Upgrading to LED lighting in a petrochemical facility is a transformative step that
enhances not only energy efficiency but also safety and productivity. LED lights
consume significantly less energy than traditional lighting options, leading to
reduced costs and a lower carbon footprint. Additionally, their long lifespan means
that facilities can save on maintenance costs.
An effective upgrade plan encompasses selecting the right LED fixtures tailored to the
unique demands of a petrochemical environment. This includes opting for explosion-proof
and weather-resistant lights that can withstand harsh conditions and comply with safety regulations. Fixtures that offer multiple brightness levels and optical options will ensure that lighting can be optimized for different tasks.
Incorporating operator feedback can also enhance lighting conditions, promoting a culture of safety and productivity. By creating an environment with well-planned and strategically placed LED lighting, facilities can deliver fantastic results from such an upgrade.
Efficient illumination supports worker safety, reduces environmental impact, and promotes streamlined operations.
Lower Energy Consumption
Transitioning from older HIDs to new generation LEDs reduces power consumption by up to 50%.
Benefits of Solid-State Lighting
LEDs are inherently vibration-resistant, enabling the construction of robust and industrial-grade lights. They offer a higher lumen efficiency, produce less heat and can remain mounted on equipment during operation.
Visibility
Upgrading conventional HPS to LED lights enhances visibility for the human eye. Increasing the visual alertness and acuity to support the performance of operators. The colour temperature increases from the low 2,000K range (orange) to 5,000K (crisp white).
Maintenance Free Operation
In strong contrast to conventional HIDs, Nemalux fixtures have a rated system life of up to 60,000 hours. Eliminating the need for replacement parts for up to 10 years (at 12 hours per day, ON time).
Illumination
Non-uniform light distribution with conventional lights can create a safety hazard. Impairing the ability to detect objects poses challenges for the workforce. Superior optical control of Nemalux LED lights offers increased uniformity.
Safety
Better visibility for operators helps prevent trip-and-fall incidents. Safe movement within these complex areas requires high-quality illumination. Nemalux helps achieve industry-specific target light levels while reducing the number of lights needed.
Operator safety on petrochemical sites is a critical lighting priority.
A comprehensive lighting strategy that accounts for unique challenges is key.
Design Services
We provide complimentary lighting design and customization services for industrial applications.
Worksites considering the installation or upgrade of a lighting system can face numerous challenges. Lighting design is a crucial step in addressing safety and working towards positive outcomes on-site and optimizing for target light levels and quality, while lowering capital investments and maintenance costs, and reducing fixture counts.
Nemalux's MR and XR models
The MR is a multi-functional, hazardous location-rated LED luminaire designed for industrial applications. The 3,000 - 6,000K MR fixture features lightweight, low-profile aluminum housing for ease of installation and a high-efficiency optical design for improved illumination.
The XR is a versatile LED fixture designed for applications in extreme environments. The 8,000 - 20,000K XR fixture features thermal load separation, allowing for its use in high-ambient-temperature locations. The lightweight and low-profile aluminum housing makes for easy installation.
The Takeaway?
Lighting should support operations, safety, and visibility throughout the entire facility.
