Honeywell to provide technology and system design for Shell
 
霍尼韋爾為殼牌提供技術及系統設計

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——霍尼韋爾與殼牌簽署一份為期五年的全球協議，成為后者的主要自動化承包商(MAC)。全球架構協議(GFA)是殼牌長期MAC策略的一部分，殼牌希望通過該策略為其全球工廠配備整合過程自動化技術，降低整體運營成本，最大限度地提高生產。

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.

作為一家主要自動化承包商，霍尼韋爾將設計經濟實惠而又環保的自動化與安全系統來滿足殼牌用戶的能源需求。在30多年里，霍尼韋爾在殼牌的百多個項目中充當主要自動化承包商。目前霍尼韋爾正忙于殼牌最大的三個項目工程：殼牌于卡塔爾的液化氣(GTL)新廠、將大大提高殼牌在加拿大西部的油砂產量的阿薩巴斯卡油砂項目(AOSP)，以及亞瑟港煉油廠的擴建。

“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.”

殼牌企業集團分類管理設備部Ronaldo Marques表示：“霍尼韋爾在幫助我們執行這些高度復雜項目的表現是我們選擇它負責這一工作的一個因素。這項協議使我們能夠在全球提供一致的高品質技術，以及在世界各地提供同類產品中最佳的戰略支持。“

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.

使用集成的過程自動化系統設計其生產工廠，制造商可以提高整個工廠的安全性、可靠性、效率和可持續性，同時確保重要信息在合適的時間送達正確的人。使用諸如霍尼韋爾Experion過程知識系統（PKS）和安全管理解決方案等集成系統，工廠的各級人員均可對各流程子系統是如何影響整個運作的有一個更深入的了解。比如，一旦類似Experion這樣的系統可以告訴他們一個具體的流程如何影響工廠的其余部分，操作人員就可以在控制室作出更好的決定。

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，使用集成系統設計一家新工廠使制造商能夠更精確地計劃在將來如何整合新的技術。這樣可以防止系統過時，實現長期的節省資金。

“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.”

霍尼韋爾過程解決方案部總裁Norm Gilsdorf表示：”我們的客戶越來越多地希望我們盡早介入，并從一開始就設計好集成過程自動化系統，因為這是為保護一項資產長期存在和商業利潤的明智策略。殼牌認識到這一機會，而這個主要自動化承包商協議盡可能擴大其全球生產的新一步，同時為將來隨著需求轉變提供一個技術方法。“
