Hadar to light up Gorgon gas project 21 February 2011

Kellogg Joint Venture Group has specified Hadar Lighting's HDL106 LED floodlights for the hazardous area lighting at Australia's largest natural gas development, the Gorgon project.

"It's a great boost to us and the North East region of England, and a result of the hard work that the team has put into both developing and manufacturing the products and then selling them to the world wide market," comments Brian Trench, CEO of Hadar parent company A-Belco Group.

"Our products were specified by both of the final consortiums that bid for this part of the project, which in itself, is a massive tribute to their quality."

Hadar lights were selected because they produce purer light, weigh less and last far longer than traditional sodium or halogen equivalents. They also have no warm up period and an expected lifespan in excess of 10 years, without any maintenance.

"In addition, power consumption of the new floodlights is approximately 40% of traditional equivalents, with various beam dispersal patterns, of between 10 degrees and 120 degrees, meaning the light goes where it's designed to go rather than being wasted," says Trench.

Gorgon is one of the world's largest natural gas projects and the largest single resource natural gas project in Australia's history. The scheme will develop the Greater Gorgon Area gas fields, located about 130km off the north-west coast of Western Australia in water depths of up to 4,300ft.

Gas is collected via sub-sea wellheads and piped to gas processing and LNG shipping facilities on Barrow Island. Carbon Dioxide (which accounts for some 13% of the gas stream) is then stripped out and injected into formations deep below the island, while LNG and gas condensate is offloaded via a deep water jetty onto LNG carriers and oil tankers.
