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

通過新成立的Kairos礦業公司，Codelco將使用霍尼韋爾的自動化系統改善選礦廠的性能

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.

圣地亞哥1月29日消息——霍尼韋爾今天宣布其與Codelco公司的一家合資企業將提供過程自動化技術和服務，改善這家智利礦業公司選礦廠的性能。這家合資企業名叫Kairos礦業公司，將幫助世界上最大的銅生產商Codelco公司改善工廠的過程穩定性和經營業績。

“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副總裁Juan Enrique Morales表示：“這家戰略上的公司不單單是一個項目，它還是一個通過自動化高標準幫助Codelco實現更高過程效率水平的長期聯盟。這些創新自動化技術將幫助Codelco優化資產使用，提高運作連貫性，實現自動化過程和技術的標準化以及執行技術更新計劃。我們希望與一家國際技術領導者結成合作伙伴，而霍尼韋爾正是一個合理的選擇。”

“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.”

霍尼韋爾過程解決方案部總裁Jack Bolick表示：“類似Codelco這樣的大型生產商，在操作各環節之間實現標準化作業是使過程更有效率的最有效方法之一，因此，利潤也就更多。該計劃將幫助Codelco最大化地利用其選礦機，而從提高生產力，減少成本和提高長期經營承受能力。“

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的工人將得到培訓使用在選礦廠采用的霍尼韋爾技術，減少壓碎、碾磨、集中浮選和增稠過程中的過程變化。該計劃將在今年首先從Codelco的Andina分部開始，將在那里實施前期的測試。然后在未來的五年之內，該計劃將逐漸推行到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礦業公司還將向Codelco的其它采礦和產業業務提供過程自動化和控制服務，以及技術和服務許可。它還將調整和提供相關的服務以支持自動化系統的使用周期。以后，類似的服務和解決方案也適用于其它礦業公司。

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礦業公司將負責實施這些解決方案，例如霍尼韋爾的主要過程自動化和控制技術，Experion過程認識系統(PKS)，它在選礦廠應用中集成了重要的子系統，為操作人員提供了更好的關于過程如何運行的信息。此外，這家合資企業將執行儀器儀表、控制和信息應用以及使用周期支持服務。這些儀器儀表、應用和服務同樣將由霍尼韋爾和第三方供應商提供。

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

Codelco年產純銅一百八十萬噸，大約是全球生產總量的15％ 。
