Philips Lighting modernized the lighting systems on the OEMK, Lebedinsky and Mikhailovsky Mining and Processing Plants, which will allow the metalinest to save more than 30.5 million kWh per year.
Philips Lighting, the world leader in the field of lighting decisions, completed the first stage of the large-scale reconstruction of the lighting at three enterprises of the Metalloinvest company: the Oskol electrometallurgical plant, Lebedinsky and Mikhailovsky mining and processing plants. Within the framework of the project, a total of “turnkey” was updated by lighting systems of 17 production workshops. The result of modernization was a decrease in electricity consumption at plants by 70% and a decrease in the total power of lighting devices by 4.5 MW. According to metalinestus, the transition to modern lighting equipment will pay off within 2 years and will save 30.5 million kilowatt-hours a year, which is comparable to the energy consumption of a small city.
“ Modernization of the lighting of workshops of metalinest enterprises is an important stage in the program to reduce energy consumption, the purpose of which is to significant reduction in company costs. In addition, the implementation of the project to increase the energy efficiency of the lighting of plants helps to increase production security, which is the highest priority for the metalinest, ”commented Andrei Ugarov, First Deputy General Director, Production for the Production of Metalloinvest.
Work on the replacement of outdated lighting equipment on plants was carried out in parallel. Lighting on the Mikhailovsky GOK, one of the largest in Russia and the CIS of enterprises for the extraction and enrichment of iron ore, was subjected to almost complete reconstruction: ceiling lighting was replaced by 13 out of 14 workshops, including the crushing and germinal factory. The installation of modern lamps made it possible to achieve a reduction in energy consumption of the lighting system by 70%.
on the Lebedinsky GOK, the only GBS manufacturer in Russia and the CIS, the new equipment was installed in the main workshops of the enrichment factory. At the OEMK, the largest in Russia, a full -cycle metallurgical enterprise, which allows to receive metal free from harmful impurities and residual elements, modern lighting solutions were installed in the rental production zone.
In total, the modernization of lighting was carried out in 17 workshops. In most working zones, instead of outdated mercury gas -discharge lamps with a capacity of 6.0 MW with a consumption of 43.5 million kW*h per year, modern Crestbay lamps were installed, as well as Megalux lamps, which, due to heat -resistant performance, are capable of functioning in hot zones with a temperature of up to 90 degrees. To organize backup lighting, which will work in the workshop if necessary, GreenPermform HighBay LED solutions were used, which function uninterruptedly at high temperatures and fulfill standards for illumination and pulsation. The total installed capacity of new equipment was 1.5 MW with an annual consumption of 13 million kWh. To fix the results of the project at enterprises, a system of accounting for electricity consumed for lighting needs was installed.
“Today, industrial enterprises account for a third of all energy consumption of the country, and at some enterprises up to 15% of electricity is spent on lighting,” says Vitaly Raschevsky, the head of the industrial lighting direction of Philips Lighting. - We are glad that Russian enterprises do not lag behind the modern world and pay more and more attention to issues of energy efficiency and the careful use of the planet’s resources. Complex modernization of lighting at three metalinest enterprises demonstrates the desire of the company to be the leader of the industry and support the federal course to increase efficiency. "
