Petroleum Gas (LPG)

Factory-built modular plant will reduce imports of LPG


DES PLAINES, Ill., Jan. 12, 2016 Honeywell (NYSE: HON) announced today that it will supply a 250 million
standard cubic feet per day (mmscfd) modular gas processing plant and advanced automation systems to
PetroVietnam subsidiary, PV Gas.
PV Gas, Vietnams primary gas provider, will use Honeywell UOPs modular gas processing plant to separate
liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) from natural gas at its Ca Mau facility near the southern tip of Vietnam. Honeywell
Process Solutions (HPS) will serve as the integrated main automation contractor (I-MAC) and supply the integrated
controls and safety systems for the facility and terminal. PV Gass total capital investment for the project is
approximately $498 million.

PV Gas supplies natural gas to generate nearly 40 percent of the nations electricity, and local production accounts
for more than 55 percent of Vietnams domestic demand for LPG.

The Honeywell UOP modular plant will separate LPG, a compressed mix of propane and butane, from natural gas.
LPG is used as a fuel for heating and transportation, and to manufacture plastics and synthetic rubber. Globally,
LPG consumption is growing rapidly due to its versatility, low carbon emissions and energy efficiency. Within Asia,
LPG demand is expected to grow at about 8.5 percent per year through 2020, according to IHS.

As part of the largest oil and gas provider in Vietnam, PV Gas is making smart investments in infrastructure and
innovative technology to meet the countrys goal of increasing the utilization and profitability of natural gas, and
this solution from Honeywell will help us achieve that, said Mr. Huynh Quang Hai, general manager of Ca Mau
Gas Processing Plants management board. Honeywells modular gas plant and advanced automation controls offer
a high recovery liquid efficiency, increasing the production of valuable products from natural gas.
The factory-built modular gas plant will be installed on site and is expected to begin production in 2017. The
consortium of Posco Engineering Co., Ltd and PetroVietnam Technical Services Co. is the Engineering,
Procurement and Construction (EPC) contractor for the project.

Honeywell UOP has worked with PetroVietnam for more than 20 years in refining and petrochemicals, and this
project will help Vietnam meet its growing energy demands, said John Gugel, vice president and general manager
of Honeywell UOPs Gas Processing and Hydrogen business. Our modular gas processing plants are a proven
solution for high-quality, fast and efficient gas processing anywhere in the world, helping companies generate
revenue sooner and more cost-effectively than with stick-built plants.

As the I-MAC, Honeywell will provide the front-end engineering and design (FEED) to design, deliver and install
the automation, instrumentation, controls, safety and security for the gas processing units as well as for the terminal
operations. This unified approach will be critical to help the project start up quickly and meet operational and
business readiness goals.

Honeywell is uniquely qualified to supply both the process and controls for major projects like this, said Pieter
Krynauw, vice president for HPSs Projects and Automation Solutions business. UOP provides the processes that
make the facility work, and HPS automation controls will keep it running efficiently and safely. PV Gas will see
lifecycle benefits from this approach, beginning with fast installation and startup and sustained through training and
site services all from a single supplier.

Honeywell UOPs modular process equipment efficiently delivers technology to treat and process natural gas, and
can be shipped easily to remote locations. Plant modules are assembled quickly, significantly reducing construction
time and expense, and enhancing reliability after startup. For multiple units, the standardized design simplifies
training, operations and maintenance due to common parts, skid and installation layouts, and spares. Watch a
