Honeywell selected for water distribution project in Kuwait
June 2013
News
Honeywell has announced that it has been selected by Kuwait’s Ministry of Electricity and Water to modernise the water distribution network that supplies more than 280 million imperial gallons of fresh water daily to Kuwait’s growing population.
Honeywell Process Solutions’ Experion Process Knowledge System will be deployed throughout the Azzour Water Distribution Scheme so that operators at a central location can control a network of six different treatment plants and the water towers of Kuwait.
At the heart of this control system is Honeywell’s Distributed Server Architecture, which integrates and manages multiple control systems and control rooms located throughout the water system, simplifying operations, reducing engineering costs and improving system integrity.
“We have set long-term goals for sustainability in Kuwait. Revamping our water distribution network to improve efficiency and reduce costs is a key part of meeting our development plans,” said Hamoud Bader Alrodan, assistant under secretary, Ministry of Electricity and Water, Kuwait. “Honeywell’s experience in control systems and support capabilities in a number of industrial projects in Kuwait helped us pick them as one of our trusted vendors.”
“Fresh, clean water is a critical need for everyone living in the fast-growing regions of Kuwait that this water system serves,” said Darius Adamczyk, president of Honeywell Process Solutions. “Honeywell’s industry-leading automation technology is ideally suited to this challenge, and will exceed the high standards for reliability and safety set by the Ministry of Electricity and Water.”
