According to the company, he resulting biofuels are expected to help reduce greenhouse gases in the automotive transportation sector and meet European Union standards for the reduction of fossil fuel. NSE Biofuels is a joint venture between Stora Enso and Neste Oil.
NSE Biofuels will use Honeywell’s Experion process knowledge system (PKS) to operate the demonstration plant. Experion reportedly streamlines production by allowing plants to unify process, production and business management.
The system ties together critical subsystems, including process units and safety systems, throughout a plant and delivers relevant information directly to operators for improved decision making in the control room.
Honeywell will also help drive plant safety by providing its Safety Manager platform, which incorporates safety systems such as fire and gas detectors into overall control and automation strategies. Safety Manager can also help support proper start up and shutdown sequences, according to Honeywell.
Honeywell had long been selling its products around the world through distributors like Yamatake Trading Company in Japan. It leveraged its scientific and engineering technique to transform itself. Later aeronautical equipment broadened the company’s product portfolio. In 1942, the company invented the electronic autopilot (C-1), which proved to be important to the U.S. war effort.
