Tank World Expo 2016 Gathering Pace

Tank World Expo, the definitive tank storage event for the Middle East and North Africa regions, will take place on 12 & 13 April 2016 at the Dubai World Trade Centre. The two day event brings together the best and brightest from the Middle East and African bulk liquid storage industry, opening its doors to suppliers and key decision-makers from across the region.

Show Supporters

Easyfairs, organiser of Tank World Expo 2016, has announced that His Excellency Eng. Suhail Mohamed Faraj Al Mazrouei, the UAE Minister of Energy, will open the show and deliver its keynote address. It has also confirmed that the show will be officially supported by The UAE Ministry of Energy.

Tank World Expo also boasts many other major show supporters, including Horizon Terminals, ENOC, Fujairah Oil Terminal, Gulf Petrochem and Star Energy Oiltanking, as well as some of the world’s leading suppliers including Emerson Process Management, Kanon Loading Equipment, CTS Middle East and Endress+Hauser.

Exhibition Hall

Many exhibitors will be using Tank World Expo 2016 to launch new innovations and technologies to the Middle East and African markets. For instance Arflu Industry Valves will be presenting its dual expanding plug valve. Easy to operate, this valve requires very little maintenance and offers a verifiable double block and bleed service, plus a long lifetime.

Knowsley SK will be displaying its latest foam mixing technology – the Turbinator. Designed to accurately mix foam concentrate liquid, with either freshwater or seawater, the Turbinator is suitable for use in fixed systems or mobile units. Its design makes it inherently self-priming, plus the gear type foam pump creates strong inlet suction, leading to a reliable and uninterrupted foam concentrate supply.                   

Mascoat, the global leader in thermal insulating coatings, will be demonstrating its latest coating – the Mascoat Industrial-DTI. This multiple purpose coating solves insulating and corrosion under insulation issues. It is capable of thermally insulating up to 375°F, fulfilling niche temperature focused market areas, on all types of substrates.

Conference Programme

Tank World Expo 2016 will also feature a two day conference programme led by 18 leading industry figures from organisations such as The UAE Ministry of Energy, OTTCO, Oiltanking Odfjell Terminals Oman, Dubai Mercantile Exchange, Burgan Cape Terminals and CITAC Africa.

In 2015 the show focused primarily on Fujairah, but the 2016 conference programme reflects the changing market place, with an increased focus on the UAE and Greater GCC region, which is currently developing the world’s largest terminal. With this in mind, Said Al Mawaali, Project Director at OTTCO, will be presenting ‘Latest developments at the region’s largest storage facility in Oman’.

Maintaining this focus will be Roderick de Rooij, Commercial Manger at Oiltanking Odfjell Terminals Oman, who will be looking at the future outlook for the storage market in Oman. He will discuss how to capitalise on the trade routes between Asia and Europe, whilst analysing the region’s demand for storage capacity. He will also explain how best to increase the terminal’s efficiency and explore Oman’s future growth ambitions.
