oneywell has been awarded four major contracts worth a combined US$40 million (€31million) over an 18-month


duration for the Borouge petrochemicals complex in Ruwais, Abu Dhabi. It will be the main automation contractor (MAC) for this project, providing Linde and other engineering, procurement and construction (EPCs) contractors involved in the project with integrated control and safety systems. The installation of Honeywell Process


Solutions’(HPS) control and safety systems, Experion Process Knowledge System C300, Safety Manager, and Advanced Process Control will allow for operational integration, improved production, increased safety and reliability, and maximum operability and profitability. The Real Time Information Management System will provide Borouge 3 with business solutions that streamline, centralise and optimise operations, allowing for


further profitability and productivity. Borouge 3 is the latest expansion of


Borouge’s polyolefins plant in Abu Dhabi and will manufacture ethylene, polyethylene, polypropylene, and low-density polyethylene (LDPE), alongside associated butane, utilities and offsite facilities. Honeywell’s technologies have previously


been implemented in the Borouge 1 project in 1999 and the Borouge 2 project in 2010, and will continue to help Borouge meet its strategic goal of expanding the production capacity of the plant, making it the largest integrated polyolefins site in the world. Also in the UAE, the Qatar Fertiliser


Company (QAFCO) has renewed a contract with Honeywell to provide safety and automation systems for QAFCO’s existing plants, expansion projects and future projects. The agreement - one of the longest duration agreements of its kind to be signed in the
