霍尼韋爾幫助滿足對太陽能電池板技術越來越大的需求
PHOENIX, Aug. 4, 2008 – Honeywell (NYSE:HON) announced it will design and install the core process and safety systems for a new plant under construction by Hoku Materials, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hoku Scientific, Inc. that is planned to produce polysilicon, a key material needed to produce solar panels. The solar power market is currently estimated to be a $10 billion business, with realistic potential to expand to $30 billion by 2010. Serving as the Integrated Main Automation Contractor (I-MAC) and sole automation equipment supplier, Honeywell will engineer a tightly integrated solution that will help the Pocatello, Idaho plant produce 3,500 tons of polysilicon per year. The system will include distributed control, batch management and safety technology.
菲尼克斯8月4日消息——霍尼韋爾宣布其將為Hoku科學有限公司全資擁有的一家子公司——Hoku材料有限公司正在建設的一家新工廠設計和安裝核心過程和安全系統，該工廠計劃生產多晶硅，一種生產太陽能電池板所需要的關鍵材料。目前太陽能市場預計為100億美元，到2010年的真正潛力估計增加到300億美元。作為集成主自動化承包商以及唯一的自動化設備供應商，霍尼韋爾將設計一套緊密集成的解決方案，幫助這家位于愛達荷州波卡提洛市的工廠每年生產3500噸的多晶硅。該系統將包括分布式控制、批量管理以及安全技術。
Hoku Materials is planning to initiate pilot production by the end of 2008 and expects to begin commercial shipments in the first half of 2009. The plant would then continue to ramp up to full capacity until the beginning of 2010.
Hoku材料公司計劃在2008年底開始試生產，并預計在2009的上半年開始商用出貨。該工廠其后將繼續增加產量至最大，直至2010年初。
“We developed our construction schedule to enable us to begin shipments as soon as possible, which means on-time delivery of the process control system is important to business success,” said Dustin Shindo, Hoku Scientific chairman and chief executive officer. “Honeywell has a proven track record for completing automation projects on time. Its extensive technology portfolio allows us to tap a single source for critical plant systems, which will streamline both operations and costs.”
Hoku科學公司主席兼首席執行官Dustin Shindo表示：“我們制訂了我們的建設計劃以便使我們可以盡快出貨，這就意味著過程控制系統的按時交付對業務的成功至關重要。霍尼韋爾在按時完成自動化項目方面具有良好的記錄。其廣泛的技術組合使得我們可以利用獨一供應的關鍵工廠系統，簡化運營和成本。”
As the I-MAC, Honeywell will take an integrated approach to designing all automation and control components that can help the plant operate safely, reliably and efficiently. The company will provide its Experion Process Knowledge System (PKS) platform to serve as the backbone of this system, which will coordinate and control all polysilicon deposition vessels.
作為集成主自動化承包商，霍尼韋爾將采用集成的方法設計所有的自動化和控制部件，幫助工廠實現安全、可靠和有效的運營。霍尼韋爾將提供其Experion過程知識系統(PKS)平臺作為這個系統的支柱，而該系統將協調和控制所有的多晶硅沉積容器。
Experion will control all plant processes, as well as deliver information from critical plant subsystems directly to operators to aid decision making in the control room. Hoku Materials will also utilize Honeywell’s Safety Manager, which integrates safety systems such as fire and gas detection technology to help protect employees and carefully coordinate safety shutdown procedures. Additionally, Safety Manager will protect the plant’s gas recovery process to help prevent explosive situations and allow the recovered gas to be reused. Honeywell will provide the gas detection technology used in the solution.
Experion將控制所有的工廠流程，以及把來自工廠關鍵子系統的信息直接傳送給操作人員，幫助他們在控制室制定決策。Hoku材料還將應用霍尼韋爾的安全管理器，其集成了例如火警和氣體探測技術的安全系統，幫助保護員工以及小心地協調安全關閉程序。此外，安全管理器將保護工廠的氣體回收流程，幫助避免爆炸的發生，以及使得回收的氣體可以重新利用。霍尼韋爾將提供該解決方案應用的氣體保護技術。
Hoku Materials will also simplify plant operations with Experion Batch Manager, an embedded function in Experion that allows operators to increase production by executing batches at the control level. This function makes the system more reliable and easier to maintain, and enable the plant to bypass separate servers traditionally needed to execute batch recipes.
Hoku材料公司還將利用Experion批量管理器——Experion自帶的一項可以使操作人員在控制線上執行批量處理而增加生產的嵌入功能，簡化工廠的運營。該功能使系統更可靠，維護更簡單，而且使工廠可以繞過傳統執行批量方法所需要的不同的服務器。
“Alternative energy has never been a more important issue than it is today, and new facilities such as Hoku Materials’ Pocatello plant will be key to meeting the growing global demand,” said Tracey Haslam, Regional General Manager for Honeywell Process Solutions. “There truly is no time to waste when it comes to bringing new facilities like this online. The goal of Honeywell’s I-MAC approach is to get a plant up and running as quickly and safely as possible while giving manufacturers the tools they need to keep it running smoothly and profitably.”
霍尼韋爾過程解決方案區域總經理Tracey Haslam表示：“替代能源的話題從來就沒有比現今顯得更為重要，而例如Hoku材料的波卡提洛工廠等新工廠將成為滿足全球不斷增長的需求的關鍵。當提到為這樣的新工廠實現聯機，真的沒時間可浪費。霍尼韋爾的集成主自動化承包商方法的目標就是盡可能快速而且安全地實現工廠的啟動和運行，同時為制造商提供他們所需要的工具保持其平穩而盈利的運營。”
