Honeywell has been awarded a Process Automation Systems contract for new and existing petrochemical plants to be operated by EQUATE Petrochemical Company. The Experion installation and upgrades will help EQUATE operators better manage critical application processes, throughout the entire facility. EQUATE operates existing plants at the Shuaiba site for the production of ethylene glycol, polyethylene and polypropylene. The Olefins II Project between Dow and PIC will create new plants for the production of ethylene and ethylene derivatives, to be operated by EQUATE.
Honeywell will install its Experion® Process Knowledge System (PKS) automation platform for operation of the new plants, and will migrate existing legacy TotalPlant® Systems at the EQUATE plants to Experion PKS. Migration at the existing plants of EQUATE will be complete in 2006, and installation at the new plants is planned in line with expected start-up in 2008.
