Internal Development of New Chemical Injectors
Builds on Recent Acquisition Activity in the Oil and Natural Gas
Market
Graco Inc. (NYSE:GGG) announced today that it is launching a new
line of chemical injection equipment for use in the midstream and
upstream sectors of the Oil & Natural Gas markets. This new,
internally designed and developed product line includes highly
durable pumps, technologically advanced controllers, and
accessories to dispense, control, and monitor numerous chemical
fluids used to keep oil and natural gas pipelines and wellheads
flowing freely in most operating and weather conditions.
“Graco’s line of chemical injection equipment is the next phase
in the company’s strategic plan to expand its presence in the Oil
& Natural Gas market space,” said Chuck Rescorla, Vice
President of Corporate Manufacturing and Corporate Development.
The AC & DC WolverineTM pump line includes hundreds of
variations of solar-operated and electrically-operated pumps and
packages to meet the needs of operators primarily in the upstream
and midstream oil exploration markets. Wolverine chemical injection
pumps reduce atmospheric emissions while providing a greater level
of flow control when used with Graco injection rate controllers.
Designed with durability in mind, these injection pumps feature
newly designed pump lowers whose sealing capability can last up to
25 times longer than many other designs on the market.
The pneumatically operated PythonTM line-up of chemical
injection pumps includes numerous configurations of models to
accommodate the pressure and volume requirements often experienced
in the upstream and midstream industry. Python pumps are ideal for
applications in tough environments and can operate from regulated
natural gas or compressed air. The Python line offers lower costs
of ownership, they are easy to operate, and use half the air
consumption of many other comparable pumps in the market. They
feature extremely rugged internal components and timing valves
designed for years of operation before replacement.
Graco’s HarrierTM line of controllers offer new capabilities to
monitor chemical injection pump units in the field from remote
locations. Among their many advantages, the Harrier line provides
substantial operational cost savings as well as access to accurate
and immediate operational data. The new Harrier controllers are
affordable and will work with Graco’s new chemical injection pumps
as well as competitive offerings, providing the end user an
opportunity to upgrade existing systems already in the field.
Graco recently acquired two well-known international brands in
the Oil & Natural Gas market – Alco Valves Group and High
Pressure Equipment company. Combined with its organically developed
offerings such as the chemical injector suite of products, Graco
now has a well-rounded product portfolio to serve the needs of Oil
& Natural Gas customers worldwide.
