Expanded Help for Plant Operators

Aug. 2, 2008
An enhanced version of the Experion Process Knowledge System (PKS) process and control system allows plant operators to carefully coordinate process control, safety shutdown and fire and gas mitigation steps.
In addition to safety instrumented system (SIS) integration, Experion helps improve plant operations through embedded simulation capabilities used for comprehensive operator training and control, display and procedure validation. The system also introduces new integrated batch functionality that can significantly increase production as well as reliability for chemical and life sciences companies, says the vendor. “Experion was originally designed to streamline overall operations, and this latest version expands upon that principle by eliminating the need for intermediate devices to relay important information to the nerve center of the plant,” said Harsh Chitale, a vice president at the vendor. “This release is the most efficient system of its kind, and that efficiency translates to safer, more reliable and more profitable plants.”Honeywell Process Solutionswww.honeywell.com/ps800.822.7673
