Company profile

The SRPP, Société Réunionnaise de Produits Pétroliers, founded in 1940, operates in the storage and distribution of petroleum products on Réunion Island. Its installations are located in the commune of Port (97420), around the old Lighthouse of Pointe des Galets. It has an oil depot with a storage capacity of 250,000 m3 for fuels and 13,000 m3 for Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG).

Challenge? Adapted and efficient ATEX lighting

A2S has been requested by SRPP to replace and optimize the lighting of their installations, including their filling centre. It goes without saying that given the high-risk environment, petroleum products, the challenge was both to offer more ultra-performing lighting and optimal safety in the ATEX zone.

The customer's wish was to replace fluorescent lighting and mixed projectors with ATEX LED lighting. The constraint was to provide overall coverage with an average level of light of 450 to 500 lux on the entire site, while at the same time differentiating work areas from roadways in order to maximize the comfort and safety of workers.

Our millimetre approach

A2S therefore studied precisely the different areas to be illuminated by detailing on plans the installation of lighting (Lluminance 3D) to be put in place according to the risks of the area and the needs of lighting: lighting of production areas, alleys, access routes. The software allows you to consider lighting angles, lighting distance, color, shadows.

Our ATEX lighting solution

Thanks to this design study, the IES photometric files allowing visualization of the lighting curves and 3D visualization we made a meticulous selection of the luminaires to be installed. The choice was based on the SPARTAN HPFL high-power projector range and the WL168 series linear luminaires.

The advantages of selected ATEX luminaires

  • Designed for very wide and open hazardous areas that require high performance white light and high reliability.
  • The long-lasting LED technology ensures a lifetime of 10 years and more while providing a high light output of up to 25,000 lumens delivered. Thanks to CoolExtrudeTM thermal management technology, SPARTAN LEDs operate at a much colder temperature than traditional lighting solutions or LEDs in traditional ATEX enclosures.
  • Flexible and low-maintenance installation: SPARTAN's unique modular design features removable and interchangeable components that make maintenance and inspection much faster.
  • Standard gradation/DALI features, with a unique modular design with removable power supply chassis also allows as flexible a installation as possible, as well as optimal access and maintenance.
  • All SPARTAN luminaires enjoy a 5-year warranty, the best on the market.

    The first tranche of this project has been successfully completed and is being implemented.
