Fire Detection & Fire Protection
Lesedi uses state of the art detection equipment at the heart of its fire protection systems. The systems are fully compliant with the legal and statutory codes and standards as well as specific client requirements.
Our fire system designs are based on the requirements of NFPA which are universally accepted.
Electrical and C&I
Electrical and C&I installations in oil and gas facilities are critical from a safety perspective. The equipment specified is dependent on the zone classification determined during the process design.
The control and instrumentation design is based on the client’s manual versus automated strategy for the plant.
Design Support
Lesedi has registered professional engineers from each discipline performing the designs. This ensures compliance with all legal, code and statutory requirements. The engineers use the latest set of software packages supported by the drawing office.
The 3D CAD models produced provide the supporting P&ID, flow diagrams, GAs, ISOs, MTOs, etc.

Fire Detection & Fire Protection
Lesedi is the agent for DEF in Africa. DEF was established in France, 1958, providing services to the fire trade for over 50 years. DEF Fire Protection provides a full suite of fire detection and fire protection equipment to the oil and gas industry.
Refineries, processing plants, pipelines, fuel storage farms and LPG/LNG facilities all utilise or produce a wide range of hazardous flammable liquids and gases that can be detected by the DEF flame and gas detectors.
The fact that the chemical and petrochemical industries handle many hazardous toxic and combustible substances makes it necessary to implement highly reliable fire and gas detection systems which can be supplied and installed by Lesedi.
DMDS Dosing
Arkema is a worldwide leader in the production and sales of dimethyl disulfide (DMDS). DMDS is the most common compound used for hydrocracking catalysts sulfiding in refineries.
DMDS in a petrochemical environment is injected continuously at a low rate in ethylene crackers. It prevents coke formation and mitigates CO formation. Lesedi has the equipment necessary to inject the DMDS into the client’s columns and provides this service after each shutdown.
