Honeywell helps growing demand for solar panel technology 

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(cai)料(liao)有(you)限(xian)公(gong)司(si)正(zheng)在(zai)建(jian)設(she)的(de)一(yi)家(jia)新(xin)工(gong)廠(chang)設(she)計(ji)和(he)安(an)裝(zhuang)核(he)心(xin)過(guo)程(cheng)和(he)安(an)全(quan)係(xi)統(tong)，該(gai)工(gong)廠(chang)計(ji)劃(hua)生(sheng)產(chan)多(duo)晶(jing)矽(gui)，一(yi)種(zhong)生(sheng)產(chan)太(tai)陽(yang)能(neng)電(dian)池(chi)板(ban)所(suo)需(xu)要(yao)的(de)關(guan)鍵(jian)材(cai)料(liao)。目(mu)前(qian)太(tai)陽(yang)能(neng)市(shi)場(chang)預(yu)計(ji)為(wei)100億美元，到2010年的真正潛力估計增加到300億yi美mei元yuan。作zuo為wei集ji成cheng主zhu自zi動dong化hua承cheng包bao商shang以yi及ji唯wei一yi的de自zi動dong化hua設she備bei供gong應ying商shang，霍huo尼ni韋wei爾er將jiang設she計ji一yi套tao緊jin密mi集ji成cheng的de解jie決jue方fang案an，幫bang助zhu這zhe家jia位wei於yu愛ai達da荷he州zhou波bo卡ka提ti洛luo市shi的de工gong廠chang每mei年nian生sheng產chan3500噸的多晶矽。該係統將包括分布式控製、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，並預計在2009的上半年開始商用出貨。該工廠其後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(wo)們(men)製(zhi)訂(ding)了(le)我(wo)們(men)的(de)建(jian)設(she)計(ji)劃(hua)以(yi)便(bian)使(shi)我(wo)們(men)可(ke)以(yi)盡(jin)快(kuai)出(chu)貨(huo)

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製部件，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過程知識係統(PKS)平台作為這個係統的支柱，而該係統將協調和控製所有的多晶矽沉積容器。

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將控製所有的工廠流程，以及把來自工廠關鍵子係統的信息直接傳送給操作人員，幫助他們在控製室製定決策。Hoku材(cai)料(liao)還(hai)將(jiang)應(ying)用(yong)霍(huo)尼(ni)韋(wei)爾(er)的(de)安(an)全(quan)管(guan)理(li)器(qi)

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(zi)帶(dai)的(de)一(yi)項(xiang)可(ke)以(yi)使(shi)操(cao)作(zuo)人(ren)員(yuan)在(zai)控(kong)製(zhi)線(xian)上(shang)執(zhi)行(xing)批(pi)量(liang)處(chu)理(li)而(er)增(zeng)加(jia)生(sheng)產(chan)的(de)嵌(qian)入(ru)功(gong)能(neng)

“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
