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

通过新成立的Kairos矿业公司，Codelco将使用霍尼韦尔的自动化系统改善选矿厂的性能

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.

圣地亚哥1月29日消息——霍尼韦尔今天宣布其与Codelco公司的一家合资企业将提供过程自动化技术和服务，改善这家智利矿业公司选矿厂的性能。这家合资企业名叫Kairos矿业公司，将帮助世界上最大的铜生产商Codelco公司改善工厂的过程稳定性和经营业绩。

“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副总裁Juan Enrique Morales表示：“这家战略上的公司不单单是一个项目，它还是一个通过自动化高标准帮助Codelco实现更高过程效率水平的长期联盟。这些创新自动化技术将帮助Codelco优化资产使用，提高运作连贯性，实现自动化过程和技术的标准化以及执行技术更新计划。我们希望与一家国际技术领导者结成合作伙伴，而霍尼韦尔正是一个合理的选择。”

“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.”

霍尼韦尔过程解决方案部总裁Jack Bolick表示：“类似Codelco这样的大型生产商，在操作各环节之间实现标准化作业是使过程更有效率的最有效方法之一，因此，利润也就更多。该计划将帮助Codelco最大化地利用其选矿机，而从提高生产力，减少成本和提高长期经营承受能力。“

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的工人将得到培训使用在选矿厂采用的霍尼韦尔技术，减少压碎、碾磨、集中浮选和增稠过程中的过程变化。该计划将在今年首先从Codelco的Andina分部开始，将在那里实施前期的测试。然后在未来的五年之内，该计划将逐渐推行到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矿业公司还将向Codelco的其它采矿和产业业务提供过程自动化和控制服务，以及技术和服务许可。它还将调整和提供相关的服务以支持自动化系统的使用周期。以后，类似的服务和解决方案也适用于其它矿业公司。

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矿业公司将负责实施这些解决方案，例如霍尼韦尔的主要过程自动化和控制技术，Experion过程认识系统(PKS)，它在选矿厂应用中集成了重要的子系统，为操作人员提供了更好的关于过程如何运行的信息。此外，这家合资企业将执行仪器仪表、控制和信息应用以及使用周期支持服务。这些仪器仪表、应用和服务同样将由霍尼韦尔和第三方供应商提供。

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

Codelco年产纯铜一百八十万吨，大约是全球生产总量的15％ 。
