Honeywell supplies controls for world’s largest paraxylene plant

霍尼韋爾為世界最大的對位二甲苯廠提供控制系統

Seoul, Korea, April 23, 2007 – Honeywell (NYSE:HON) today announced a $7.7 million project to supply its Experion Process Knowledge System (PKS) R300 and Safety Manager technology for the world’s largest paraxylene plant. Experion, Honeywell’s industry leading process control and automation platform that funnels critical information to operators, will ensure smooth and efficient production at the $1.2-billion Sohar Aromatics plant, located at Oman’s Port of Sohar. The contract was awarded by GS Engineering and Construction, based in Seoul.

首爾4月23日消息——霍尼韋爾今天宣布獲得了一項770萬美元的項目，為世界最大的對位二甲苯廠提供其Experion過程知識系統(PKS) R300 以及安全管理器（Safety Manager）技術。霍尼韋爾業界領先的過程控制和自動化平臺為操作人員集中了關鍵信息，將確保位于阿曼Sohar港的投資12億美元的Sohar Aromatics工廠平穩高效的生產。這份合同由首爾的GS工程和建筑公司提供。

Experion is widely used in chemical plants throughout the globe to streamline production by integrating critical subsystems. It gives operators greater insight into how subsystems affect the overall plant, as well as better information to make decisions on the plant floor. Experion can also integrate safety-instrumented systems (SIS) like Safety Manager to more safely automate start-up and shutdown sequences, for example. This integration is crucial in a facility such as a chemical plant, where volatile products make for dangerous working environments.

Experion廣泛應用于全球化工廠，通過集成關鍵的子系統簡化生產。它使操作人員更深入地了解子系統如何影響整個工廠，以及為工廠決策的制定提供了更多的資訊。Experion還可以集成安全儀器系統，例如安全管理器，使自動化啟動和停工次序更安全。這一集成在化工廠等地方非常關鍵，因為這些地方的揮發性產品會導致產生危險的工作環境。

In addition to Experion and Safety Manager, Honeywell will provide Uniformance PHD, its data historian, as well as project management and engineering services. The project is expected to be completed by December 2008, and production at the Aromatics Oman LLC-owned facility is slated to begin in 2009.

除了Experion和安全管理器，霍尼韋爾還將提供數據歷史記錄軟件Uniformance PHD，以及項目管理和工程服務。該項目預計到2008年12月完成，而這家由Aromatics 阿曼有限責任公司擁有的工廠在2009年開始投入生產。

“Experion is a proven technology that gets the right information to the right people on the plant floor, and Honeywell is a proven leader in safety, project delivery and engineering,” said JT Chung, vice president of GS Engineering & Construction. “Those were critical factors in deciding which technology to implement in this world-class facility. When the plant becomes operational, it will feed a fast-growing demand and need to function as efficiently as possible. We chose Honeywell’s solution with that objective in mind.”

GS工程和建筑公司副總裁JT Chung表示：“Experion是一項經過證明了的技術，為工廠里準確的人提供準確的信息，而霍尼韋爾在安全、項目交付以及施工方面是公認的領導者，這些都是決定在這個世界級工廠實施哪項技術的關鍵因素。一旦工廠投入運營，它將滿足快速增長的需求，最大效率地發揮著作用。我們選擇霍尼韋爾的解決方案正是抱著這樣的目標。”

The plant will produce 814,000 tons of paraxylene per year and 210,000 tons of benzene. Paraxylene is used in the production of polyester fibers and plastic bottles. Benzene is an industrial chemical used to produce a wide range of plastics, detergents and other chemicals.

該工廠每年將生產81萬4千噸的對位二甲苯以及21萬噸的苯。對位二甲苯用于生產聚酯光纖和塑料瓶。苯是一種工業化學品，廣泛應用于塑料、清潔劑以及其他化學領域。

“To ensure efficient production, chemical companies must possess a keen understanding of how every piece of technology within their plants affects the overall operation,” said Simon Park, regional general manager for Honeywell Process Solutions Korea. “Experion provides that kind of meaningful information and helps operators see the bigger picture, which ultimately leads to better decisions and results.”

霍尼韋爾（韓國）過程解決方案區域總經理Simon Park表示：“為了確保有效生產，化學公司必須充份了解工廠里的每一項技術是如何影響著整個操作的。Experion提供了這類有著重要意義的信息，幫助操作人員了解更多的情況，從而最后作出更好的決議，產生更好的結果。”

By contracting Honeywell for engineering and project management services, GS Engineering and Construction expects to shave about four months off the project schedule and will be able to focus on other critical areas of the plant.

通過授予霍尼韋爾提供工程和項目管理服務，GS工程和建筑公司預計可以節省項目計劃的四個月，從而可以把重點放在工廠其他關鍵領域上。

“In any new system implementation, good project management is critical to keeping schedules. Having a partner with proven project-delivery capabilities like Honeywell is reassuring, especially for a project of this size and complexity,” said Chung.

Chung表示：“任何新系統的實施，良好的項目管理都是保持進度的關鍵。擁有象霍尼韋爾這樣具有公認項目交付能力的合作伙伴是令人放心的，尤其是這樣一個大型而復雜的項目。”
