Haldor Topsoe and Honeywell form alliance for chemical and refining industries

As a product of this alliance, Topsoe has launched ClearView, to maximise plant output, save energy and improve reliability.

Using Honeywell’s cloud-based software platform, the ClearView service gathers operating data from the plant, cleanses the data, applies Haldor Topsoe’s tools and experience and delivers performance-enhancing insights straight to the plant’s process engineers and managers.

“As a global market leader in catalysts and technology, we are thrilled to offer our customers a service that puts our decades of experience at their fingertips every hour of every day. Using Honeywell’s proven software platform and tools, ClearView applies Topsoe’s unique insights and allows our experts to work more closely with plant engineers to meet critical performance targets and reduce the risk of unplanned shutdowns,” said Bjerne S Clausen, CEO at Haldor Topsoe.

Haldor Topsoe’s proprietary modelling and simulation tools have been constantly updated and refined to design increasingly energy-efficient and reliable plants and help customers optimise existing production and catalyst utilisation.

The ClearView service aims to give Topsoe customers continuous access to these tools to increase the profitability of their plants. As part of the service, Topsoe engineers follow plant performance and proactively guide the customers’ plant engineers in optimizing performance and quickly addressing operational issues based on the output from the ClearView service.

“The ClearView Service aims to meet a growing need in a broader area of the chemicals and refining processes,” said Zak Alzein, vice-president and general manager of Honeywell’s connected performance services business. “The technology alliance with Topsoe leverages the power of the connected plant and brings the deep domain expertise of Topsoe into a growing partner network.”
