Exposition of CNG, LNG, LPG, gas refueling equipment
Gazprom Gas Motor Fuel, CIMC Enric Energy Equipment, Volta Gas, GRAF, Monitoring Valve & Fitting (MV&F), Micromethane, Fluid Line and NPK Shelf presented gas filling equipment. This theme was interesting for 56% of visitors.
Within the section Gas-cylinder equipment products were exhibited by AntGroup-GBO, GazServiceComposite, Landi Renzo, MTK, YURPACOM-TRADE, YUSEV and other companies. An increased interest in the gas equipment segment was shown by 54% of the visitors.
Gazprom Gazomotornoye Toplivo, the Russian market leader in motor fuels, presented a programme revealing the advantages of natural gas (methane) use in transport as an economic, environmentally friendly and safe fuel.
The information stand of GRAF was dedicated to compressors, gas accumulators; control cabinets; dehydration units; block-boxes and other efficient solutions for CNG filling stations.
At the Landi Renzo stand you could see samples of gearboxes, control units and nozzles - the most important elements of CNG for converting vehicles to environmentally friendly and economical types of fuel: LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) and CNG (compressed natural gas).
MTK, a supplier of gas and industrial equipment, presented a propane gas cylinder to potential customers. High interest in the product was shown by oil and gas equipment manufacturers and design engineers from Gazprom.
"The NGV market is buzzing right now, so we decided to participate in GasSuf in this year and offer a sought-after product. As a result, we received five contacts from different countries: Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan and Russia. I am sure they will contact us to get a calculation as they have shown high interest in our equipment", commented the participation in GasSuf 2022 Akop Afian, Project Director of MTK LPG equipment.
For the first time CIMC Enric Energy Equipment, USEV, JURPACOM-Trade and GazServisComposite exhibited their products at GasSuf.
At the stand of CIMC Enric Energy Equipment manufacturers from China demonstrated equipment and system solutions for storage and transportation of CNG, LNG, LPG and industrial gas.
The company GazServiceKompozit - manufacturer of high pressure cylinders, gas accumulator units for CNG filling stations and mobile filling stations - demonstrated a mock-up of a gas accumulator unit and a mock-up of a cylinder for CNG filling stations as industrial samples of the products. The company's main customers are specialists from the automotive industry and private customers: owners of vehicle fleets remote from large population centres and their own CNG filling stations. "We wanted to try to participate in the exhibition to see how much this promotional tool would cost us and whether it would have an effect. We need at least two real orders to come back here. We received 3 - let's see what the result will be," said Konstantin Smerdov, head of production at GazSuf 2022.
