Parker demonstrates its innovation and product diversity to meet the challenges of the oil and gas sector

Abu Dhabi, UAE, 5. November 2014 - Parker Hannifin the global leader in motion and control technologies will be exhibiting and demonstrating products from six product group areas that address applications and engineering requirements in the upstream, midstream and downstream sectors of the oil and gas industry at this year's ADIPEC exhibition and conference. With over five decades experience, Parker is an integral part of the industry and provides products, integrated systems and technical expertise that help ensure safe, dependable and high-performance solutions in the challenging operating environments typical of the sector.

Partnering with Parker Hannifin offers customers in the oil and gas market a single source of supply for innovative, state-of-the-art solutions. The six areas on company's stand at ADIPEC will cover filtration, instrumentation, fluid connectors, hydraulics, automation and engineered materials. Parker's engineers are constantly seeking new ways to address present and future challenges such as corrosion control, materials durability and the reduction of installation time and minimising of downtime due to equipment failure.

The headline products being exhibited at this year's ADIPEC show include the company's new API-rated integrated valve assemblies that allow operators to enhance and simplify their 'Christmas tree' valve arrangements. The new valves can help reduce overall weight by up to 40% and the space envelope needed to implement a solution by as much as 75%. Another product that takes account of the importance of weight and cost saving in the oil and gas industry is Parker's range of Rise Clamps. These light, buoyant clamps are manufactured using HPDE and can replace much heavier metal or urethane components. They are also faster and easier to assemble in the field of operation. Other highlights that illustrate the diversity and innovative nature of Parker Hannifin's oil and gas technologies include: the icountBS Plus Water Glycol Bottle Sampler, MS300 Series Moisture Sensors, and extremely efficient HDK-CNG high pressure dryers.

In addition to demonstrating its industry-leading technology and providing experts with who visitors can discuss their applications, Parker will also be making sure any visit to its stand in Abu Dhabi is fun and entertaining. There will be the chance to win an iPad Mini through the company's Discovery Quest, and specially designed Rubik's Cubes will be given out to all those who enjoy a good challenge.

"The engineering challenges in the oil and gas industry are complex and overlaid with a pre-requisite for the utmost safety and reliability. At the same time solutions must be time, cost and space efficient in order to meet the commercial demands of the sector," commented:  Mofid Amin, General Manager Middle East, Parker Hannifin. "Parker's engineering expertise, the diversity of its products and an ability to combine elements into highly effective integrated system solutions helps to make us an ideal partner for those operating in this exciting but demanding sector."
