processing

Enterprises for the processing of energy resources are the largest and most complex structural unit of the fuel and energy complex, which includes several components, each of which imposes special requirements on lighting.

features and approaches to lighting

Recycling of fuel raw materials is a complex and multi-stage process. The refining process includes such stages as atmospheric distillation, reforming, hydrotreatment, hydrocracking, coking, isomerization, etc. All process units are explosive zones of the first category and require the use of appropriate explosion-proof equipment. The passages between the blocks are also explosive areas, however, the use of equipment of the second category of explosion protection is permissible here.

storage complex for raw materials and finished products

The storage complex for raw materials and finished products includes the following areas:

Raw material storage unit

Finished products storage unit

Loading terminals

Loading and unloading areas

All of the listed areas belong to the first category of explosion hazard, which requires the use of special lighting equipment with the appropriate level of explosion protection.

system of transport lines, administrative building

The system of transport lines, which includes entrances, loading and unloading areas, parking lots and ways of moving transport units, ensures the normal functioning of the production enterprise. Zones associated with the transportation of mineral raw materials and finished petroleum products require the use of explosion-proof equipment that meets the first explosion category. General purpose transport lines are not explosive areas and allow the use of general industrial and street lamps, provided that their requirements for dust and moisture protection and climatic performance are met.

Like any industrial enterprise, the processing enterprise of the fuel and energy complex includes an office and administrative block. Lighting requirements here are similar to typical office spaces: compliance with lighting standards, ensuring safety and visual comfort for the working staff. For the most ergonomic and energy-efficient functioning of the lighting installation of the office and administration block, the use of lighting control systems is recommended.
