Kuwait National Petroleum Company (KNPC) has selected Honewell to provide the Integrated Control and Safety System (ICSS) for its 615,000 barrel-a-day Al Zour refinery to be built in southern Kuwait. Honeywell will also provide the front-end engineering design (FEED) for the system.
“Honeywell's suite of proven technologies for the refining industry is well suited to support a quick and safe refinery start up, and efficient operations. We are pleased to have been selected for this important project," said King.
As the main automation contractor for the new Al Zour refinery, Honeywell will supply Experion PKS as the main control system for the refinery complex, as well as integrate all process automation systems throughout the site. Additionally, having HPS perform front-end engineering and design of the system will help drive consistent designs from other contractors throughout the entire project and help speed its completion.
The new refinery complex will help to meet domestic demand and export of ultra-low sulfur products such as fuel oil, diesel and kerosene, as well as petrochemical feedstocks.
