Environmental kudos: Honeywell Process Solutions gets green automation award

Frost & Sullivan recognizes Honeywell Process Solutions with the 2008 North American Frost & Sullivan Green Excellence of the Year Award.

Based on its recent analysis of the process automation industry, Frost & Sullivan recognizes Honeywell Process Solutions with the 2008 North American Frost & Sullivan Green Excellence of the Year Award. Through its automation solutions, Honeywell has helped process manufacturers use energy more efficiently, improve environmental compliance, decrease emissions, and enhance overall business performance.

For customers that are reluctant to overhaul their legacy systems, Honeywell says its flagship product, Experion, offers the unique ability to leverage investments in existing legacy systems while simultaneously benefiting from state-of-the-art advanced life-cycle solutions.


In addition, Honeywell’ UniSim solution enables customers to innovate through dynamic design models, operator training, performance monitoring, troubleshooting, production management, and asset management tools.


UniSim also addresses the issue of technical talent shortages in the process industries of both developed and emerging markets. Since effective training and utilization of manpower is crucial due to the limited availability of human resources, UniSim’s training tools are in demand for their ability to provide operators with much needed process and operations training, resulting in higher operational efficiencies and reduced downtime.


Honeywell’s solutions gain special significance when considering increasing crude prices and depleting oil and gas resources that have been challenging refineries to maintain their refining margins while reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The refineries increasingly turn to sophisticated technology and the concept of “green chemistry,” wherein the whole oil refining process is re-engineered to ensure sustainability.


While providing solutions that enable customers to practice sustainability, Honeywell also follows green practices internally. Honeywell has set a five-year target of a 30 percent reduction in GHG in its facilities by increasing energy efficiency by 24 percent. It is going about this task by investing heavily in certification and manufacturing best practices.
