Concerning the Neles product line, Metso Automation has joined Honeywell's PKS Advantage Program - a collaborative effort that integrates automation suppliers' products with Honeywell's Experion Process Knowledge System (PKS). Metso's participation expands the program's options for integrated control valves for petro-chemical, refining, LNG and other process industries. It also expands integrated safety instrumented system offerings for users in all industries.
The companies will work together to integrate the Neles ND9000 intelligent valve controller with Honeywell's Experion system. The companies will also collaborate to offer integrated partial valve stroke testing solutions for safety instrumented systems (SIS) through the combination of Neles ValvGuard (partial stroke testing system for emergency valves) and Honeywell's fail safe controller and safety manager.
"Metso Automation wishes to offer a better integration of Neles products to all automation systems. Integration of Neles products to Honeywell systems via the PKS Advantage program serves especially our customers in hydrocarbon industries," said Markku Simula, vice president, Neles Product Line in Metso Automation. "We believe that Neles ValvGuard and nelesESD valves integrated to Honeywell's SIS provides customers increased safety and reliability in the safety critical processes.

Harry Sim, vice president of marketing for Honeywell Process Solutions said: "We are delighted Metso has decided to join our program. When integrated, the Neles smart products and our Experion system will offer customers expanded performance benefits on both the process control and safety sides of their operation."
