Honeywell announced on Wednesday that it had been selected by North Refineries Company (NRC) as the main Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) contractor to upgrade the automation systems at its refinery in Baiji, Iraq.

The $9.6 million contract for the upgrading of NRC’s existing control system will improve operational efficiencies, reliability and safety at the refinery.

Honeywell solutions will be used, fully automating the facility and replacing its 30-year-old single loop instrument control system.

In addition to improving safety and security at the plant, the new automation investment will allow NRC to maximize productivity, while offering full scalability to support future technology upgrades.
