Share a Success Story

Honeywell invites you to share your experiences and successes with other conference delegates. Case studies, applications, industry issues, project implementations and technical achievements are all welcome. We are in particular looking for presenters on the following topics related to Honeywell solutions:  Your Experience Implementing Safety Manager Developing an online migration project Moving to Abnormal Situation Management displays Alarm management project Fire and gas solution integrated with Experion Digital Closed-Circuit Television/Video Surveillance linked to Experion using Digital Video Manager Terminal Automation System connected to Experion Pipeline Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition system using Experion Experion batch capabilities OneWireless  Implementing Field Device Manager Lifecycle Management Services Remote Services Service Enhancements Solutions Program (SESP) Migrating from Total Plant Solutions to Experion Remote support Benefits Guardianship Program for advanced applications On-site resident support and co-sourcing Implementing Advanced Process Control solutions Operator Training Simulation Using Plant History Database as a corporate historian Energy Management Dashboard/solutions using Materials Enhancement System Deployment of Operations Management/Operating Instructions/Operation Logbook The Steering Committee has decided to extend the discussions to include such topics as: What are the key priorities for Western European refineries in the next five years? How are the process industries adopting renewable energy? What are the industry views on carbon trading? What strategies are being adopted to manage water and wastewater within the process industry? How are companies minimising - or planning to mitigate - risk due to the lack of qualified engineers? Our hope is to embrace a more diverse representation from within the Honeywell user community. If you are selected to present, the conference registration fee is waived. One of the main purposes of the annual conference is to learn by exchanging information between peers. If you have a success story, special expertise or experience with Honeywell solutions that could be interesting to your fellow delegates, please consider presenting a paper during one of the sessions. Please submit your abstract on your Honeywell solutions, products, services, findings and/or lessons learned by 26 May 2011.

• Your HUG registration fee is waived *
• Possible publication of your presentation in one of many industry journals and publications (Honeywell will do the work for you - with your approval)
• Peer recognition throughout your industry
• Numerous networking opportunities
• Your name, company name, presentation title and short abstract will appear on this website and in the onsite guide

* Please note that speakers are responsible for travel costs and hotel fees.

To submit a paper for consideration, please send an abstract of your presentation (a sample abstract can be found below) and the required contact information (also listed below) to barbera.debaar@honeywell.com. 

Please note that the abstract should contain sufficient information to enable the Steering Committee to make an informed decision on the acceptability of the paper. In particular, the paper must be relevant to the activities and interests of other users.

The Business Benefits of Advanced Process Control (APC) Applications

Honeywell’s APC application was recently installed in our gas processing facility. The plant that underwent the project was an ethane and NGL recovery plant with two identical trains which produce ethane at 95 percent recovery. The plant utilizes an efficient internal heat recovery system as well as a propane refrigeration system shared between both trains. Loop interactions arising from the internal heat recovery configuration as well as the typical interactions found in fractionation columns made this plant a good candidate for an APC application. As a result, lack of knowledge and expertise drove us to utilize Honeywell to execute this project.

The success of the project is attributed to the project execution approach which was based on the objective of achieving the maximum transfer of knowledge between the consultant and proponent. Specifically, the APC activities of one of the two trains were led by the consultant from the pre-test phase up to commissioning. The other train’s APC activities were led by us from the pre-test phase up until commissioning with consultant intervention only upon request. The result of this approach was an APC application that produced additional benefits that would not have been realized without an effective knowledge transfer.

This presentation shows the total economic benefits of an APC application on an ethane and NGL recovery plant and the incremental benefits realized through knowledge transfer and project commitment. The final predicted payback period is less than two quarters through increasing product yield and conserving energy. This presentation also highlights lessons learned that have the potential to add value to any APC project.
