HART Foundation now accepting 2008 HART Plant of the Year award nominations

Nominations for the 7th annual HART Plant of the Year Award are now being accepted by the HART Communication Foundation (HCF). The global award is presented annually to recognize innovative use of HART Communication in real-time industrial process plant applications. Nominations are encouraged from all world areas and will be accepted through June 30. Nomination forms are available at www.hartcomm.org.
 
The HART Plant of the Year winner receives an award plaque to display at its facility, special recognition at an international trade show, exposure to the global industry press, and a full feature article in a major trade publication. Information also appears in the Foundation’s HARTLine newsletter and on the HART Web site. An official awards presentation is held at the plant site.

The HART Plant of the Year is the only public award presented to end user companies to recognize ingenuity in the application of HART technology. Nominations should include a description of how the plant is using the diagnostics and other intelligent capabilities of HART-enabled devices in real-time applications with plant control, safety and asset-management systems to improve operations, lower costs and increase plant availability.

Previous recipients include: StatoilHydro (Norway); BP Canada Energy (Canada); Sasol Solvents (South Africa); BP Cooper River (South Carolina); Clariant (Germany); Detroit Water and Sewerage (Michigan); and DuPont (Mississippi).
