July 14, 2008 -- Matrikon Deutschland AG entered into a license agreement with LyondellBasell Industries which allows all LyondellBasell production facilities in Europe to integrate and use Matrikon’s Alarm Management software suite with a variety of different control systems, thus establishing a system-independent standard for the evaluation of alarm performance throughout LyondellBasell’s European operations. In addition, the agreement may be expanded to include international joint-ventures of LyondellBasell or to upgrade the European sites with additional functionality such as Matrikon’s Control Performance and Equipment and Asset Monitoring products.
Timo Klingenmeier, General Manager of Matrikon Deutschland stated: “The solution enables LyondellBasell to focus on the technical and organizational benefits of implementing a standardized Alarm management system across multiple sites. We are proud to be selected by LyondellBasell Industries as one of the largest global chemical companies for this important aspect of plant safety and reliability.”
Harald K?nig, Alarm Management Project Lead at LyondellBasell Europe, stated: “We chose Matrikon Alarm Manager because of its ability to easily connect to different types of DCS and other control systems, and because it has extensions to monitor plant performance, control loops, and other plant assets. In addition, Alarm Manager provides a standard set of EEMUA metrics from all the different DCS systems allowing us to benchmark and monitor the performance of each plant in a standardized manner. These metrics will be used to focus on key issues, thus simplifying further alarm system optimization.”
