Honeywell & Wood Collaborate On The Connected Plant Offering For Refineries

---

Honeywell UOP (Universal Oil Products) and Wood have agreed to work together to bring the latter’s Amec Foster Wheeler SYDEC (Selective Yield Delayed Coking) process models into Honeywell's Connected Plant digital service platform.

Wood, among other things, designs and engineers delayed coking systems to distill fuels and convert other products from heavy oil. Its SYDEC technology helps petrochemical refiners extract more valuable fuels and types of cokes from cheap crude oils, residues, pitch, and partially converted materials.

Honeywell UOP supplies technologies to the fossil fuel industries, specifically the oil and gas sectors. Its Connected Plant system helps refineries run more efficiently and with more uptime, Honeywell says, even in the face of retirement of knowledgeable personnel, new regulatory requirements, and the introduction of new, disruptive technologies. The platform incorporates proprietary knowledge of processes and the troubleshooting experience gained over time to provide quick recommendations for adjustments to the plant’s operations.

"Honeywell is a strategic partner in the connected plant space and together, we are ideally positioned to deliver the digital services our customers need," said Wood's CEO of its Specialist Technical Solutions section, Bob MacDonald. "With this partnership, our customers will experience improved profitability through software-enabled services that guide the efficient operation of Delayed Coking and other related processes."
