KUWAIT -- Honeywell has been chosen by Kuwait's Ministry of Electricity and Water to modernize its water distribution network that supplies more than 280 million gallons of fresh water daily to Kuwait's growing population, the online news agency AMEinfo.com said on Thursday.
It said that Honeywell Process Solutions' PKS or Experion Process Knowledge System will be used in the Azzour Water Distribution Scheme so that operators at a central location can control a network of six different treatment plants located in Ardiya, Hawally, Salmiya, Failaka Island, Adailiya and the water towers of Kuwait.
"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," the agency quoted Hamoud Bader Alrodan, assistant under secretary, Ministry of Electricity and Water, Kuwait, as saying.
"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 every day 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."
Honeywell Process Solutions' PKS platform is used by many municipalities and industrial manufacturers around the world, the agency said.
With an installed base of more than 30,000 control systems, Honeywell technology runs mission-critical applications in refineries, chemical plants, pulp and paper mills, pipelines, power plants and other industrial facilities worldwide.
