A refinery turnaround runs on a schedule measured in hours, not days — every piece of equipment on site, lighting included, is either keeping pace with that schedule or working against it.
Unlike a construction project with some built-in slack, a refinery turnaround has a fixed window with real cost attached to every hour of overrun. Lighting that needs a generator crew to reposition — waiting on fuel, waiting on a re-rig — adds exactly the kind of delay a turnaround schedule can't absorb.
Battery-powered towers with sealed electrical systems avoid the fuel handling and cold-start risks that come with diesel-powered lighting rigs on a site already managing significant process safety concerns. This isn't a claim of hazardous-area or explosion-proof certification — always confirm any equipment's actual certification against your site's specific hazardous-area classification requirements before deployment — but a sealed, battery-powered unit is a meaningfully different risk profile from an open diesel generator running near process equipment.
Turnaround work moves through defined zones in sequence — a unit is isolated, opened, inspected, and reassembled, then the crew moves to the next one. Single-person deployment means lighting can follow that sequence directly, rather than staying fixed in one position because moving it takes too much coordination.
Beyond lighting itself, turnarounds often need power for monitoring equipment, cameras, or communications in areas without fixed power — a device power platform running off the same battery ecosystem as the lighting fleet keeps that equipment running without a separate power solution.
The LI-500 is IP65 rated for tank farm and turnaround exposure, running fully on battery packs without mains power. The LI-TC-300 can run monitoring equipment off the same battery ecosystem. See our Oil & Gas industry guide for more.

No hazardous-area or explosion-proof certification is claimed for Litenza equipment. Always confirm actual certification against your site's specific hazardous-area classification requirements before deploying any equipment in a classified zone.
Sealed, battery-powered systems avoid the fuel handling and cold-start risks of diesel rigs operating near process equipment — a different risk profile, not a certification claim.
Yes — a device power platform like the LI-TC-300 can run cameras or comms equipment off the same battery ecosystem as the lighting fleet.
