Hazardous Location Led Lighting for Oil Refinery

The Hassi Messaoud oil refinery site is located in the Haoud El Hamra village in the Sahara Desert at Hassi-Messaoud district in the Ouargla Province, The project's construction work will be executed by a joint venture (JV) of Korea's Samsung Engineering (45%) and Spanish firm Técnicas Reunidas (55%).

Background

The Hassi Messaoud refinery project is a grass root crude oil refinery planned in the Ouargla Province of Algeria. It will have an annual processing capacity of five million tonnes of oil and 120,900 tonnes of natural gas. The oil refinery aims to meet the demand for the European environmental standards (Euro V) specification refined petroleum products. It will produce hydrocarbon derivatives such as gas oil and gasoline (normal and super), as well as butane and propane gas with international standards.

Challenge

The refinery facility will include a crude distillation unit (CDU), a vacuum distillation unit (VDU), a continuous catalytic reforming (CCR) unit, an isomerization unit, a naphtha hydro-treating (NHT) unit, a hydrodesulfurization (HDS) unit, a hydrocracker unit (HCU), and a solvent deasphalting (SDA) unit. The oil refinery will also include an amine recovery unit, a sulphur recovery unit, and a wastewater treatment plant. Engineer company request a complex and comprehends explosion proof lighting solutions with varied kinds of lighting and installation environment for area lighting with low cost.

Solution

SUREALL explosion proof LED lighting can improve operations at chemical and petroleum manufacturing facilities by improving overall visibility and working conditions, by providing better illumination for routine maintenance and reducing exposure to dangerous hazards on the jobsite. From the crude distillation to the processing plant to storage, safety is of the upmost importance due to the volatile nature of the environment and lighting plays an integral role in assuring that safety. By using a high-quality LED luminaire, not only do you increase visibility and alleviate the risk of accidents, you also greatly reduce the amount of downtime needed for ongoing maintenance and instead, keep productivity running at top speed.

SUREALL explosion proof high bay lights for hazardous locations is rated for Class 1, Division 2 and Class 2, Division 2 to mitigate the potential for spark in a highly ignitable environment. Our highly engineered LED lighting products are designed for use in extremely harsh environments and are IP66 rated for ingress protection against moisture and dust, as well as IK07 impact rated. The die cast aluminum alloy housing with waterproof, heavy duty push-and-click connectors and cabling makes installation a breeze and can be easily mounted in areas where space comes at a premium.

Since this refinery project convert raw materials including natural gas, methane, hydrogen, metals, as well as minerals. However, one cannot deny the fact that refinery plants are amongst the most hazardous areas at present and it is vital to ensure the safety of the workers at all times. In fact, the operating conditions in a refinery plant remain a constant challenge for us. It is likewise essential for the lighting to be safe, cost-effective and efficient in these types of environments. It will be feasible to keep workers safe by employing the proper lighting strategy in these hazardous areas and this can also provide substantial cost savings in the long run.
