Through The New Kairos Mining Venture, Codelco Will Utilize Honeywell’s Automation Systems to Improve Concentrator Plant Performance

通過(guò)新成立的Kairos礦業(yè)公司，Codelco將使用霍尼韋爾的自動(dòng)化系統(tǒng)改善選礦廠的性能

SANTIAGO, Jan. 29, 2007 – Honeywell (NYSE: HON) today announced a joint venture with Codelco that will provide process automation technology and services to improve the performance of the Chilean mining company’s concentrator plants. The joint venture named, Kairos Mining, will help Codelco – the world’s largest copper producer – improve plant process stability and business performance.

圣地亞哥1月29日消息——霍尼韋爾今天宣布其與Codelco公司的一家合資企業(yè)將提供過(guò)程自動(dòng)化技術(shù)和服務(wù)，改善這家智利礦業(yè)公司選礦廠的性能。這家合資企業(yè)名叫Kairos礦業(yè)公司，將幫助世界上最大的銅生產(chǎn)商Codelco公司改善工廠的過(guò)程穩(wěn)定性和經(jīng)營(yíng)業(yè)績(jī)。

“This strategic venture is more than a project, it is a long-term alliance that will help Codelco achieve greater process-efficiency levels through high automation standards,” said Juan Enrique Morales, vice president, Codelco. “These innovative automation technologies will help Codelco optimize asset use, improve operation continuity, standardize automation processes and technologies and implement technology update programs. We wanted to partner with an international technology leader, and Honeywell was the logical choice.”

Codelco副總裁Juan Enrique Morales表示：“這家戰(zhàn)略上的公司不單單是一個(gè)項(xiàng)目，它還是一個(gè)通過(guò)自動(dòng)化高標(biāo)準(zhǔn)幫助Codelco實(shí)現(xiàn)更高過(guò)程效率水平的長(zhǎng)期聯(lián)盟。這些創(chuàng)新自動(dòng)化技術(shù)將幫助Codelco優(yōu)化資產(chǎn)使用，提高運(yùn)作連貫性，實(shí)現(xiàn)自動(dòng)化過(guò)程和技術(shù)的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)化以及執(zhí)行技術(shù)更新計(jì)劃。我們希望與一家國(guó)際技術(shù)領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者結(jié)成合作伙伴，而霍尼韋爾正是一個(gè)合理的選擇?！?/P>

“For large manufacturers like Codelco, standardizing practices across operations is one of the most effective ways to make processes more efficient, and therefore, more profitable,” said Jack Bolick, president of Honeywell Process Solutions. “This program will help Codelco maximize the use of its concentrators, which will increase productivity, reduce costs and improve business sustainability for the long term.”

霍尼韋爾過(guò)程解決方案部總裁Jack Bolick表示：“類似Codelco這樣的大型生產(chǎn)商，在操作各環(huán)節(jié)之間實(shí)現(xiàn)標(biāo)準(zhǔn)化作業(yè)是使過(guò)程更有效率的最有效方法之一，因此，利潤(rùn)也就更多。該計(jì)劃將幫助Codelco最大化地利用其選礦機(jī)，而從提高生產(chǎn)力，減少成本和提高長(zhǎng)期經(jīng)營(yíng)承受能力?！?/P>

Codelco workers will be trained to use Honeywell technology to reduce process variability in the crushing, grinding, collective flotation and thickening processes used in the concentration plants. The program will start this year at Codelco’s Andina Division, where initial testing was performed. The initiative will gradually be incorporated into the company’s El Teniente and Codelco Norte divisions over the next five years.

Codelco的工人將得到培訓(xùn)使用在選礦廠采用的霍尼韋爾技術(shù)，減少壓碎、碾磨、集中浮選和增稠過(guò)程中的過(guò)程變化。該計(jì)劃將在今年首先從Codelco的Andina分部開(kāi)始，將在那里實(shí)施前期的測(cè)試。然后在未來(lái)的五年之內(nèi)，該計(jì)劃將逐漸推行到Codelco 公司的El Teniente 和 Codelco Norte分部。

Kairos Mining also will provide process automation and control services for Codelco’s other mining and industrial activities, as well as provide technology and software licenses. It also will coordinate and provide associated services to support automation system lifecycles. Similar services and solutions will also be available to other mining companies in the future.

Kairos礦業(yè)公司還將向Codelco的其它采礦和產(chǎn)業(yè)業(yè)務(wù)提供過(guò)程自動(dòng)化和控制服務(wù)，以及技術(shù)和服務(wù)許可。它還將調(diào)整和提供相關(guān)的服務(wù)以支持自動(dòng)化系統(tǒng)的使用周期。以后，類似的服務(wù)和解決方案也適用于其它礦業(yè)公司。

Kairos Mining will implement solutions such as Honeywell’s main process automation and control technology, Experion Process Knowledge System (PKS), which integrates critical subsystems within concentrator plants and gives operators better information about how processes are functioning. Additionally, the joint venture will implement instrumentation, control and information applications and lifecycle support services. The instrumentation, applications and services also will be provided by Honeywell, as well as third-party vendors.

Kairos礦業(yè)公司將負(fù)責(zé)實(shí)施這些解決方案，例如霍尼韋爾的主要過(guò)程自動(dòng)化和控制技術(shù)，Experion過(guò)程認(rèn)識(shí)系統(tǒng)(PKS)，它在選礦廠應(yīng)用中集成了重要的子系統(tǒng)，為操作人員提供了更好的關(guān)于過(guò)程如何運(yùn)行的信息。此外，這家合資企業(yè)將執(zhí)行儀器儀表、控制和信息應(yīng)用以及使用周期支持服務(wù)。這些儀器儀表、應(yīng)用和服務(wù)同樣將由霍尼韋爾和第三方供應(yīng)商提供。

Codelco produces 1.8 million tons of fine copper per year, about 15 percent of the world’s production.

Codelco年產(chǎn)純銅一百八十萬(wàn)噸，大約是全球生產(chǎn)總量的15％ 。
