Technology providers Haldor Topsoe, Copenhagen, and Honeywell, Charlotte, announced on March 5 that they have formed a technology alliance and launched a new service, Clearview™, to maximize plant output, save energy, and improve reliability. The first Clearview service has been developed to optimize ammonia production, with services for other chemical and refining industries expected to follow.
The parties said Clearview uses Honeywell’s cloud-based software platform to gather and cleanse operating data, and applies Haldor Topsoe’s modelling and simulation tools and experience to deliver performance-enhancing insights to the plant’s process engineers and managers.
