Software company receives IT award
To date, more than 30 companies have selected Pavilion's environmental solutions to reduce their environmental impact, achieve compliance and support corporate environmental performance initiatives
Pavilion Technologies has received a Business Achievement Award in the Information Technology (IT) Merit category from the Environmental Business Journal (EBJ) This award recognises Pavilion's Real-time Environmental Management (REM) application success in 2006 as an innovative new solution for helping manufacturing companies achieve plant environmental performance
To date, more than 30 leading companies around the world, including Elsta, Equate Petrochemicals, Fonterra Group and Total Petrochemicals have selected Pavilion's environmental solutions to reduce their environmental impact, achieve compliance and support corporate environmental performance initiatives.
"We are honoured to be recognised by the Environmental Business Journal as an innovator in this important and growing industry", said Ralph Carter, CEO of Pavilion Technologies.
"Our manufacturing customers are faced with a daily challenge of reducing environmental impact and risk while meeting regulatory requirements".
"The real reward comes in our ability to help them do this more easily, efficiently and in a time-effective manner".
"It is good for their business and our environment".
Equate Petrochemical Company selected Pavilion's Real-time Environmental Management application to meet Kuwait Environmental Public Authority emissions regulations.
Pavilion's solution allows Equate to accurately determine its site-wide emissions, estimate future emissions and create required emissions process records in real time.
Equate is also planning an expansion of its facility, doubling the plant capacity.
However, with the Pavilion REM solution, it does not expect the need to increase personnel to continue to achieve environmental compliance.
One of the world's top chemical producers, with major operations in the Houston, Texas area, needed to deploy a real-time environmental management application to meet local, state and federal regulatory requirements for NOx and HRVOC, and take advantage of the new emissions trading programs.
The chemical company implemented Pavilion's REM solution at three sites, affecting 22 process units and managing 420 emissions sources from flares to furnaces.
With Pavilion's environmental solutions, the company can now accurately assess its compliance position across an extremely complex set of data sources and regulations.
At one site alone, instead of using an estimated 32 spreadsheets to calculate HRVOC emissions, the company uses Pavilion's REM solution to aggregate and calculate 6500 input variables once per minute, resulting in 10,000 quality-assured emissions calculations and records.
Based on the Pavilion8 software platform, Pavilion's Real-time Environmental Management (REM) solution enables "active compliance" through minute-to-minute emissions performance monitoring, compliance reporting and calculations.
Manufacturers are forced to comply with increasingly stringent governmental emissions regulations, and many seek to reduce compliance complexities, costs and risks while capitalising on emissions trading programmes.
REM solves this problem, offering a new class of environmental compliance and reporting application.
Sophisticated data validation and a secure metadata repository ensure reporting information is accurate and auditable to meet the most stringent regulations.
REM provides a role-specific, browser-based interface that offers one-minute, 15-minute and one-hour calculations on hundreds of emissions sources.
To better manage emissions performance, users can run on-demand reports and replay historical emissions performance.
