Phoenix, Ariz – The Industry Solutions business of Honeywell will provide the NIS Petroleum Industry of Serbia with an automation solution worth $2.8 million for its Pancevo, Yugoslavia oil refinery. The solution includes a TotalPlant Solution system with Honeywell’s new Icon operator consoles, High-Performance Process Managers, a Fail-Safe Control system, and field instruments with DE communication protocol, as well as engineering, on-site services, and project management.

The new automation solution will take advantage of the existing Honeywell TDC 2000 process control system and traditional instrumentation currently used in the refinery’s FCC, alkylation, vacuum, and crude process units. The order is part of a complete modernization plan for the Pancevo refinery. The automation project is planned for completion by November 2002. The Project Engineering group of Honeywell Italy assisted by Pancevo refinery engineering personnel will implement the upgrade.
