霍尼韦尔为卡塔尔乙烯基公司升级控制系统

    阿布扎比4月1日消息——霍尼韦尔被选中为卡塔尔乙烯基公司位于多哈附近Mesaieed工业城的工厂升级过程自动化技术。塔尔乙烯基公司，一家大型石化公司，将把其现有的霍尼韦尔TotalPlant解决方案系统转换成霍尼韦尔的Experion 过程知识系统(PKS)。这个转换将使得塔尔乙烯基公司的该工厂提高生产力和盈利能力。
   卡塔尔乙烯基公司自动化和仪表仪器主管Radhakrishnan Nair表示：“我们转换到一个通用的Experion平台将摆脱我们以前作业系统的陈旧，应该可以显著减少总体拥有成本和维护费用。霍尼韦尔已经帮助我们简化进程，从而使我们能够获益于有效的过程控制技术。”
   卡塔尔乙烯基公司的产品主要被聚氯乙烯、氧化铝、洗涤剂和纸浆造纸生产商采用。该工厂将使用Experion系统管理年产22万吨的氯乙烯单体，17.5万吨的二氯化乙烯以及58万吨的烧碱。
   霍尼韦尔过程解决方案部中东区域总经理Larry Perkins表示：“转换成Experion系统可得到一个更可靠的平台，使运营更简单，因为该系统可以兼容第三方的接口，以及可以与非霍尼韦尔技术实现无缝集成。卡塔尔乙烯基公司现在将能够减轻其控制网络的负荷，把其大部分的单机控制系统整合到Experion，而且对他们的运转有一个更好的了解。总体而言，这次转换将有助于卡塔尔乙烯基公司取得更大的工厂效率和改善业务绩效。”

ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates, April 1, 2008 – Honeywell was selected to upgrade the process automation technology for Qatar Vinyl Company’s plant located in Mesaieed Industrial City near Doha, Qatar. QVC, a major petrochemical company, will migrate from its existing Honeywell TotalPlant Solution Systems to Honeywell’s Experion Process Knowledge System (PKS). This migration will enable QVC to enhance productivity and profitability at its plant.

“Our migration to a common Experion platform, will address our previous operating system obsolescence and should result in a marked reduction in overall cost ownership and maintenance costs,” said Radhakrishnan Nair, Head of Automation and Instrumentation for QVC. “Honeywell has helped us to streamline our processes and hence allowed us to reap the benefits of efficient process control technology.”

QVC products are used by polyvinyl chloride, alumina, detergent and pulp and paper manufacturers. The plant will use Experion to manage the annual production of 220,000 metric tons of vinyl chloride monomer, 175,000 metric tons of ethylene dichloride and 580,000 metric tons of caustic soda.

“Migrating to Experion enables a more reliable platform, making operations simpler as the system works side-by-side with third-party interfaces and seamlessly integrates with non-Honeywell technology,” said Larry Perkins, regional general manager for Honeywell Process Solutions Middle East. “QVC will now be able to reduce the load on its control network, integrate most of its standalone control systems into Experion and have a better view of their operations. Overall, this migration will help QVC achieve greater plant efficiency and improved business performance.”
