One of the world's oldest refineries has selected Honeywell to help continue modernising its operations under a service agreement that shares responsibility for running the site.
Germany-based H&R Group will migrate the legacy control systems at its ChemPharm GmbH refinery in Salzbergen, Germany, to Honeywell's newest controllers. The refinery will also initiate Honeywell's Assurance 360 Performa package, which will provide H&R with ongoing services such as system optimisation, parts management, preventative surveillance and competency management.
The refinery, which began operating in 1860, produces raw materials for chemical and pharmaceutical products. It has undergone several technology upgrades in recent years.
