System to vent process analysers to flare headers
Parker Instrumentation introduces an innovative turnkey solution for connecting continuous process analyser streams into flare disposal systems, without adverse pressure effects
This will supply Maersk direct, giving the company the benefits of an exceptionally short and responsive supply chain.
Maersk Oil is among the top 25 independent oil and gas producers worldwide, and a pioneer of technical solutions to the challenges posed by the North Sea.
The new agreement covers the supply of A-LOK compression tube fittings, but the Centre is already receiving enquiries for a wide range of components, including the new-generation high-integrity manifolds and valves designed and manufactured at the Parker Instrumentation Barnstaple, UK factory.
"A shorter, tighter supply chain is increasingly important to our customers", says Dorthe Pedersen of Parker Instrumentation Denmark: "We already have a global supply chain in place to support key areas in the offshore industry: this new 'proximity' strategy goes one step further, allowing us to provide an extremely responsive service while helping our customers simplify purchasing and streamline inventory".
The new agreement builds on a relationship between Maersk and Parker Instrumentation established over several years and spanning several major projects. Request free introductory details about products from Parker Instrumentation ...
