Blyth manufacturer secures two major orders for innovative product

Dräger Marine & Offshore, part of the Dräger Group, has secured two major orders from Oil & Gas companies for its portable gas detection systems supported by the supply of its calibration and management tool, the Dräger X-Dock.

Dräger’s X-Dock, which was launched last year, is a docking station management system which ensures portable gas detection devices on board any platform are working correctly.

Steve Jones, regional sales manager for Dräger in Aberdeen, said: “There could be hundreds of portable gas detection devices located on any given oil platform. These need to be calibrated every six months and bump-tested daily to check they are working efficiently.

The X-Dock is expected to both logistics costs and save time for workers.

He said: “The X-Dock means workers can carry out testing offshore any time, without the need for hundreds of devices to be transported onshore – which would ultimately take much longer and require replacement units to be deployed whilst this is undertaken.”

X-Docks are already supplied to platforms across different North Sea locations, from the UK to Norway, Netherlands and Denmark, as well as worldwide, wherever supply is required.
