Tubular luminaires were installed on the new scraper bridge and around the aeration tanks. They could be easily attached to railings and parapets.
Resistant to moisture, heat, cold, and temperature fluctuations, UV-resistant, mechanically robust, and explosion-proof in certain environments – industrial lights for the Neufinsing wastewater treatment plant must meet the highest standards. NORKA specializes in providing reliable, long-lasting, and energy-efficient lighting solutions for sewage treatment plants, ensuring safety and optimal visibility even in the harshest conditions.
At the Neufinsing wastewater treatment plant east of Munich, NORKA industrial lights have proven their performance, illuminating basins, tanks, and technical buildings while providing safe lighting for walkways, railings, and operational areas. With NORKA, operators benefit from expertly engineered industrial lights for the Neufinsing wastewater treatment plant that combine durability, efficiency, and compliance with stringent industrial requirements.

Maintenance and repair measures on the systems, reading measured values or even recovering objects that are blocking the rakes in the tanks – these are typical work in a sewage treatment plant for which bright and glare-free illumination is required. Light with sufficient illumination levels and high uniformity is naturally also indispensable on paths because they often lead through the terrain via stairs, gratings or bridges. In the Neufinsing sewage treatment plant, various luminaire types are used for both work and path lighting, often fulfilling both tasks in combination and therefore ensuring good visibility and safety at the same time.


From parapets and railings, the luminaires ensure sufficient illumination levels on traffic areas and on the lower-lying water surfaces in the tanks.
Particularly careful product selection was required for lighting the plateau at the top of a digestion tank because methane gas is extracted from the sewage sludge and the luminaires need to be explosion-proof.
A large area at the foot of the digestion tank is illuminated with URANUS LED, a NORKA spotlight which is recommended for uniform area lighting even from large mounting heights.

The lighting on the plateau of the digestion tank can be used for areas with explosive atmospheres according to Zones 1, 2, 21 and 22.
All in all, the NORKA luminaires have the right technical features for the harsh operating conditions, whilst convincing with their efficiency and high light quality. They were able to qualify for the project through their ease of assembly. The ready-to-connect delivery and simple wiring saved a lot of time during installation. And thanks to the different luminaire dimensions available in the NORKA range, the on-site specifications could be met very easily.
