The lighting equipment commonly used in chemical production equipment is explosion-proof and anti-corrosion type. Therefore, in the lighting power distribution design of chemical production equipment, the selected lighting fixtures should be suitable for explosion-proof and anti-corrosion according to environmental characteristics, and meet the requirements of the protection level. 

Chemical Plant Lighting

Common classification

The lighting methods of chemical plants are divided into general lighting, mixed lighting, and area lighting.

Its applicable principles shall comply with the following provisions:

Common Chemical plant lighting types

The types of lighting in chemical plants are divided into Normal lighting, emergency lighting, maintenance lighting, obstacle lighting, and street lighting... Among them, emergency lighting includes backup lighting, safety lighting, and evacuation lighting. Let's take a look at normal lighting, emergency lighting, and street lighting.

Normal lighting

All workplaces should be provided with normal lighting appropriate to the characteristics of the environment in order to maintain an appropriate level of illumination and to ensure that routine production operations can be carried out safely. Normal lighting should be set in all indoor and outdoor places where people work and move. Normal lighting should provide uniform lighting for each installation area; normal lighting in process control room and electrical control room should use anti-glare design lighting fixtures, special attention should be paid to ensure uniform lighting and avoid lighting on the control panel and display (CRT) Shadows or light reflections appear.

Emergency lighting

Emergency lighting should be installed in places where it is necessary to temporarily continue to work, monitor work surfaces, evacuate personnel, and exit passage safety instructions after normal lighting is extinguished due to a fault.

Emergency lighting should be set up in the following situations in the workplace:

① After the normal lighting is extinguished due to a fault, it is necessary to ensure that the normal work or activities continue, and backup lighting should be provided; Lighting for continued work in places where work will cause great impact or economic loss, or lighting for normal firefighting in the event of a fire.

② After the normal lighting is extinguished due to a fault, it is necessary to ensure the safety of personnel in potential danger, and safety lighting should be set up, such as the use of circular saws and other workplaces;

③ After the normal lighting is extinguished due to a fault, the exits and passages to ensure the safe evacuation of personnel shall be provided with evacuation lighting. For example, evacuation sign lights set at exits and passages indicating the location of the exit and the direction of the escape route, and lighting set to illuminate the evacuation passages.

④ Emergency lighting includes backup lighting, safety lighting and evacuation lighting, but in the lighting design of chemical installation area, it is sometimes difficult to distinguish the difference between backup lighting, safety lighting and evacuation lighting. Control room, substation and power distribution room, self-provided power station, power station, fire control room and fire alarm button, diesel generator room, instrument panel installed on site, pump area, near eyewash, important valves or instruments Emergency lighting should be installed at places, important operating positions, etc., and when normal lighting fails, for safety reasons, to ensure the operation of the device or the place required for safe parking.

Street lights

Street lights used for road lighting suggest using clock-controlled street lights that automatically turn on and off.

In the lighting design of petrochemical enterprises, national laws, regulations and technical and economic policies should be implemented; through lighting design, a safe, applicable and effective lighting system should be provided to create a good environment that is conducive to personal safety, production safety, product quality, and labor productivity. Production and working environment; achieve safe use, energy saving, advanced technology, economical rationality, and convenient maintenance and management.
