霍尼韦尔为壳牌提供技术及系统设计

March 9, 2010 – Honeywell signed a global five-year agreement to be a Main Automation Contractor (MAC) for Shell. The Global Framework Agreement (GFA) is part of Shell’s long-term MAC strategy to maximize production while lowering total operating costs by equipping its worldwide facilities with integrated process automation technology.

2010年3月9日——霍尼韦尔与壳牌签署一份为期五年的全球协议，成为后者的主要自动化承包商(MAC)。全球架构协议(GFA)是壳牌长期MAC策略的一部分，壳牌希望通过该策略为其全球工厂配备整合过程自动化技术，降低整体运营成本，最大限度地提高生产。

As a MAC, Honeywell will design automation and safety systems that will help Shell meet its customers’ energy demands in economically and environmentally responsible ways. For more than three decades, Honeywell has served as a MAC on hundreds of Shell projects. Currently, Honeywell is working on three of Shell’s largest projects: its new gas to liquids (GTL) plant in Qatar, the Athabasca Oil Sands Project (AOSP) designed to help Shell dramatically increase production in Western Canada’s oil sands, and the expansion of its Port Arthur Refinery.

作为一家主要自动化承包商，霍尼韦尔将设计经济实惠而又环保的自动化与安全系统来满足壳牌用户的能源需求。在30多年里，霍尼韦尔在壳牌的百多个项目中充当主要自动化承包商。目前霍尼韦尔正忙于壳牌最大的三个项目工程：壳牌于卡塔尔的液化气(GTL)新厂、将大大提高壳牌在加拿大西部的油砂产量的阿萨巴斯卡油砂项目(AOSP)，以及亚瑟港炼油厂的扩建。

“Honeywell’s performance in helping us execute these highly complex projects was one factor in selecting the company for this work ,” said Ronaldo Marques, Shell’s Enterprise Group Categories Manager Equipment. “This agreement allows us to provide consistent global delivery of the highest-quality technology with best-in-class strategic support at sites around the world.”

壳牌企业集团分类管理设备部Ronaldo Marques表示：“霍尼韦尔在帮助我们执行这些高度复杂项目的表现是我们选择它负责这一工作的一个因素。这项协议使我们能够在全球提供一致的高品质技术，以及在世界各地提供同类产品中最佳的战略支持。“

By designing their production facilities with integrated process automation systems, manufacturers can improve overall plant safety, reliability, efficiency and sustainability while ensuring critical information gets to the right people at the right time. Using integrated systems such as Honeywell’s Experion Process Knowledge System (PKS) and Safety Manager solutions, plant personnel at all levels get a better picture of how various process subsystems affect the entire operation. Plant operators, for example, can make better decisions in the control room when systems like Experion can tell them how a specific process is affecting the rest of the plant.

使用集成的过程自动化系统设计其生产工厂，制造商可以提高整个工厂的安全性、可靠性、效率和可持续性，同时确保重要信息在合适的时间送达正确的人。使用诸如霍尼韦尔Experion过程知识系统（PKS）和安全管理解决方案等集成系统，工厂的各级人员均可对各流程子系统是如何影响整个运作的有一个更深入的了解。比如，一旦类似Experion这样的系统可以告诉他们一个具体的流程如何影响工厂的其余部分，操作人员就可以在控制室作出更好的决定。

In addition, designing a new facility with an integrated system allows manufacturers to more accurately plan how to integrate new technology in the future. This saves money in the long term by preventing systems from becoming obsolete.

此外，使用集成系统设计一家新工厂使制造商能够更精确地计划在将来如何整合新的技术。这样可以防止系统过时，实现长期的节省资金。

“More and more, our clients want our early engagement and to design integrated process automation systems from the ground up because it’s a smart strategy for protecting an asset’s long-term viability and the business’ profitability,” said Norm Gilsdorf, president of Honeywell Process Solutions. “Shell recognizes this opportunity, and this MAC agreement is a proactive step in maximizing its global production while providing a technological path forward as needs change.”

霍尼韦尔过程解决方案部总裁Norm Gilsdorf表示：”我们的客户越来越多地希望我们尽早介入，并从一开始就设计好集成过程自动化系统，因为这是为保护一项资产长期存在和商业利润的明智策略。壳牌认识到这一机会，而这个主要自动化承包商协议尽可能扩大其全球生产的新一步，同时为将来随着需求转变提供一个技术方法。“
