Oil Refinery

Cable trays are an integral part of the infrastructure in oil refineries, supporting the complex network of electrical and instrumentation cables in an environment characterized by high temperatures, hazardous zones, and corrosive conditions. Below is an overview of the applications of cable trays in this critical industry:

Power Distribution

Cable trays are used to route high-voltage cables supplying power to large equipment such as pumps, compressors, and distillation units.

Ensures reliable and safe power delivery in high-demand areas.

Control and Instrumentation Systems

Organizes and protects low-voltage and instrumentation cables for process control systems, such as Distributed Control Systems (DCS) and Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs).

Maintains uninterrupted communication between sensors, actuators, and control rooms.

Hazardous Area Applications

Protects cables in zones with flammable gases, vapors, or liquids, ensuring compliance with explosion-proof requirements.

Works in tandem with armored cables or cable glands to enhance safety.

Lighting and Emergency Systems

Facilitates the installation of power cables for lighting, emergency shutdown systems, and fire safety equipment throughout the refinery.

Communication and Networking

Provides pathways for communication cables for inter-site data transmission, CCTV systems, and telecommunications.

Corrosive and High-Temperature Zones

Routes cables in areas exposed to chemicals, salt spray, or high temperatures, such as crude oil processing units or cracking furnaces.
