Industrial lighting for the (Petro)chemical sector
The budgets for maintenance in the (petro)chemical industry are increasingly under pressure. As a result of obsoleteness of industrial installations, maintenance cost is staggering. Besides, suspension of processes is very costly, and the often mandatory use (health & safety requirements) of maintenance scaffolding pushes up the costs even more. Meanwhile, however, the (explosion) safety must be guaranteed and there is a increased commitment to save energy. How can this be translated into lighting?
Extremely sustainable: IQL induction lighting
Inventive use of maintenance & safety budgets may provide temporary relief, but a structurally different way of lighting is more sustainable. With IQL lighting of IMT, for instance, you will save much on energy and maintenance at the same time. The ‘sealed for life’ lighting does not wear out through on & off switching, so you may switch off the lighting during the day without any risk. Besides, most lighting systems are guaranteed maintenance free for at least 10 years. Not surprisingly, Shell and Dupont are currently in the process of replacing their lighting by IQL lighting of IMT.
