Honeywell to control Biofuel demonstration plant in Finland

霍尼韦尔为芬兰生物燃料示范厂提供控制系统

December 3, 2008 - Honeywell will provide the process control and safety systems for a new NSE Biofuels Oy Ltd. research facility in Varkaus, Finland.  The demonstration plant will develop processes to produce renewable biofuels from wood residues.  The resulting biofuels will help reduce greenhouse gases in the automotive transportation sector and help meet stringent European Union standards for the reduction of fossil fuel.  NSE Biofuels Oy Ltd. is a joint venture between Stora Enso Oyj and Neste Oil Corporation.

12月3日消息——霍尼韦尔将为NSE生物燃料有限公司在芬兰瓦尔考斯的一家新研究厂提供过程控制和安全系统。该示范工厂将开发工艺从木材残渣来生产可再生生物燃料。由此产生的生物燃料将有助于减少汽车运输部门温室气体的排放，并帮助满足欧盟对减少化石燃料的严格标准。NSE生物燃料有限公司是斯道拉恩索公司和内斯特石油公司组成的一家合资公司。

“The research we are conducting is important because it will be applied to the next generation of biofuel production plants,” said Reino Panula, managing director of NSE Biofuels Oy Ltd. “Honeywell’s experience and proven automation and safety management systems contributes significantly to this undertaking.”

NSE生物燃料有限公司总经理Reino Panula表示：“我们正在进行的研究非常重要，因为这将适用于新一代的生物燃料生产工厂。霍尼韦尔的经验和成熟的自动化和安全管理系统为这一研究做出了重大贡献。”

NSE Biofuels will use Honeywell’s Experion Process Knowledge System (PKS) to operate the demonstration plant. Experion streamlines production by allowing plants to unify process, production and business management.  The system ties together critical subsystems, including process units and safety systems, throughout a plant and delivers relevant information directly to operators for improved decision making in the control room.  Experion’s flexibility allows operators to modify the system according to process requirements, which enables continuous improvement in overall production efficiency.

NSE生物燃料公司将使用霍尼韦尔的Experion过程知识系统（PKS）管理示范厂。Experion通过使工厂统一流程、生产和业务管理，简化生产。该系统将整个工厂包括过程装置和安全系统在内的关键子系统连接起来，向控制室的操作人员直接提供信息，改进决策制定。Experion的灵活性使操作人员能够根据流程要求修改系统，从而可以持续提升整体生产效率。

Additionally, Honeywell will help drive plant safety by providing its Safety Manager platform, which incorporates safety systems such as fire and gas detectors into overall control and automation strategies.  Safety Manager can also help support proper start up and shutdown sequences. 

此外，霍尼韦尔将提供“安全管理系统”平台，帮助于推动工厂的安全，此平台将诸如火灾和气体探测器等安全系统集成到整体控制以及自动化策略之中。安全管理系统同样能够帮助解决系统安全启动以及关停等关键步骤。 

The Varkaus site features a number of innovations designed to save energy and increase environmental compliance.  For example, the demonstration plant will re-use the extra gas emerging from the process to heat the lime kiln in the pulp production process instead of using exhaustible raw materials such as oil.

瓦尔考斯的示范工厂采用了众多帮助实现节能以及环保要求的创新设计。举例来说， 这一示范工厂将重复利用排放的余热蒸汽来加热纸浆生产过程中的石灰炉，以替代诸如石油等不可再生资源的使用。

“This is a significant project because of its potential impact on the global effort to reduce greenhouse gasses,” said Timo Saarelainen, managing director, Honeywell Finland.  “Integrated process-safety systems are vital to helping a facility such as this deliver on its full potential.”

霍尼韦尔芬兰董事总经理Timo Saarelainen表示：“这是一个重大的项目，因为它将对全球降低温室气体排放的努力带来潜在影响。集成过程安全系统对该类设施充分发挥效用至关重要。”
