Lowering The Total Cost of Ownership of Lighting and Improving Safety At Hazardous Area Terminal Facilities with LED Lighting

By reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions by as much as 60%, virtually eliminating lighting maintenance, and reducing mandatory ATEX inspection costs, LED lighting is becoming the most sustainable, economical choice for industrial applications worldwide. This is especially true in the terminal business, where storing and handling hazardous materials demands uncompromising lighting safety, reliability and durability, and where routine lighting maintenance is complex and costly. This paper will illustrate the substantial benefits of LED lighting in a petrochemical transport/storage terminal. It demonstrates how LEDs for both retrofit and new construction at terminal facilities can deliver a significant return on investment (ROI) compared to conventional lighting and improve facility safety, while virtually eliminating lighting maintenance and expenses for up to 10 years.
