May 8, 2012 – Honeywell opened a new training center in Istanbul in February of this year, which will serve both Turkey and its neighboring countries, acting as a training hub for the region and also offering an extensive range of Honeywell training courses. Istanbul also will serve as the location of Honeywell’s annual EMEA region Users Group event in November 2012, the first time its flagship event has taken place in Turkey.
Other recent Honeywell successes in Turkey:
- Honeywell Turkey was awarded a contract by TUPRAS, a leader in refining, to provide a new Jetty Metering System at Izmit Refinery including the implementation of its Field Advisor software.
- Honeywell has also helped develop Turkey’s first intelligent buildings.
All product sales of the refinery will be managed through the new Honeywell metering system after the project completion.
Honeywell was also recently selected by PETKIM, a petrochemical leader, for two Advanced Process Control (APC) projects at its Ethylene and Aromatics Plants, after successful completion of its VCM Plant APC Project in Izmir which improved energy efficiency and throughput.
Honeywell automation systems have been installed in critical infrastructures, industrial and commercial buildings such as TT Arena stadium, BTC Pipeline, ƒ∞≈ü Bankasƒ± Headquarters and Ford Motor Company’s Otosan Gölcük Plant, as well as in industrial facilities such as TUPRAS refineries and BOTAS liquid natural gas terminals.
The intelligent buildings integrate advanced technology such as Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC), life systems and security systems.
