Frequently Asked Questions

Refinery process areas typically require a minimum IP65 ingress protection rating. For areas subject to regular high-pressure washdowns, IP66 is standard. Coastal and offshore refineries in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar additionally require salt-spray resistance. AJV Tech supplies Raytec SPARTAN luminaires with IP66 and higher ratings suitable for all GCC refinery environments.

Yes. Both ADNOC and Saudi Aramco accept ATEX certification as evidence of explosion protection compliance, particularly when products also hold IECEx certification. Products with dual IECEx and ATEX certification are the most widely accepted across GCC refinery projects. ADNOC additionally specifies ambient temperature ratings of at least +55°C for UAE refinery environments.

GCC refineries regularly experience ambient temperatures exceeding +45°C, with process areas and enclosed spaces reaching higher. ADNOC and Saudi Aramco specifications typically require explosion proof lighting rated for at least +55°C ambient to ensure reliable operation without derating. AJV Tech products from Raytec are selected and verified for high-ambient GCC refinery environments.

Typical lux requirements for GCC refineries include 50 lux minimum for general process walkways, 150-300 lux for valve manifold areas, and higher levels for specific maintenance work zones. OISD guidelines in India and ADNOC standards in UAE set specific lux requirements by area type. AJV Tech can provide photometric calculations and lighting design reports for individual facility layouts.

Yes. AJV Tech prepares complete ADNOC-compliant documentation packages including IECEx and ATEX certificates, EU declarations of conformity, product datasheets, dimensional drawings, installation and maintenance manuals, and photometric reports. We also support ADNOC Technical Query responses and Material Inspection Request processes for ADNOC Refining and ADNOC Onshore projects.
