Chenming Pulp and Paper improves quality
May 2011
System Integration & Control Systems Design
Honeywell to provide integrated controls for major pulp facility in China.
Honeywell is to supply the integrated control system for ZhanJiang Chenming Pulp and Paper Company’s new 700 000 ton per year pulp facility in China’s Guangdong Province. The integrated solution, which includes an array of Honeywell’s highest-profile technologies for the process industries, is expected to help Chenming increase its production while promoting the delivery of high-quality paper products.
Honeywell will provide its Experion Process Knowledge System, Da Vinci quality control system and OptiVision manufacturing execution system as part of the agreement. Additionally, Honeywell has agreed to provide its Safety Manager solution to manage safety subsystems at the site’s power generation and chemical facilities.
ZhanJiang Chenming Pulp and Paper is part of Shandong Chenming Paper Holdings and specialises in a variety of paper products such as light-weight coated paper, duplex press paper, writing paper, news press paper and paperboard. The new facility is expected to be commissioned in the first half of 2011.
“Fast and efficient production is important for today’s pulp and paper mills, but even more critical is the ability to maintain excellent product quality,” says Li Wei, assistant general manager of ZhanJiang Chenming. “Honeywell’s offerings are best suited for these challenges because its measurement and control solutions improve quality and productivity while reducing energy costs and waste.”
The integrated system’s advanced process control capabilities, for example, will help Chenming reduce additive costs and the amount of rework required for coatings and colours. Additionally, OptiVision will simplify order scheduling and overall workflow management.
The Da Vinci system also enables online coating measurements, one of Chenming’s key requirements for this project. The system provides the industry’s most comprehensive suite of online sensors combined with fast scanner and data processing speeds to deliver precise, high-resolution measurements.
“In the face of increasing worldwide demand for pulp, we are continuing to see more of our customers in the pulp and paper industry turn to integrated systems to increase output while maintaining quality,” says Jon Lippin, vice president and general manager, Honeywell Process Solutions Asia Pacific. “Chenming’s new ZhanJiang facility is the latest example of this trend and illustrates how tight integration can reap a range of benefits from energy savings to more-precise coatings measurement.”
