Waste Transfer Station Case Study 1000W HID retrofit to new IP65 LED Fixtures

Customer Profile:

SKB offers Municipal Solid Waste (MSW), Construction and Demolition (C&D) debris and Organics & Yardwaste processing, recycling, and transfer services with the Malcolm Avenue Processing and Transfer Facility. Its centralized Twin Cities Metro-Area location provides an attractive, cost-saving alternative to long-distance direct haul to remote landfills and for delivering your LEED project loads.

Goal:

SKB’s Malcolm Avenue Transfer Station had 1000W Metal Halide fixtures in their huge unconditioned warehouse. They were looking for an LED solution that would provide energy savings and maintenance relief while also providing long-lasting light in a demanding application with no AC or heat present.

After: New IP65 Rated 222W LED Fixtures

Results:

Given the harsh environment, Premier opted for an IP65 rated LED fixture that would withstand the high temps and humidity in the summer while also functioning well in the cold of winter. At 222W it saved over 75% on energy (100,000 KWH per year) while improving light levels drastically over the fast-fading 1000W metal halides. Fluorescent bulbs in the facility were also converted over to high output LED T8 lamps that bypass the ballast for additional savings.

Summary:

  • Reduced Energy Usage
  • Increased Light Quality
  • Increased Light Levels
  • Improved Quality Control
  • Longer Lasting Products = Reduced Maintenance Costs
  • Light Level and Color Uniformity
  • Consolidated Product
  • Enhanced Image
  • Reduced Environmental Impact
  • Leveraged Rebates
