HOUSTON, Texas, August 11, 2010 — GTC Technology, a global provider of process equipment technology and mass transfer solutions, is pleased to announce that it has secured on-going supplier approval and an immediate contract approval by Saudi Aramco, the largest oil corporation in the world, to provide mass transfer equipment through its manufacturing facility in South Korea.
 

Following an extensive contractor review and evaluation process, GTC Technology Korea, a subsidiary of GTC Technology International LP, was selected to provide mass transfer equipment for Acid Gas Treating and Sour Water Stripping Units at the Saturated Gas Plant of the Jubail Export Refinery Project. This 400,000 barrel per day, full conversion facilitated refinery is owned by Saudi Aramco Total Refining and Petrochemical Company (SATORP), a joint venture between Saudi Aramco and Total S.A.
 

Saudi Aramco, Saudi Arabia’s state-owned national oil company, restricts products and services to only those from approved contractors that are stringently evaluated and meet rigid equipment standards and specifications. GTC was required to provide extensive documentation of product testing and consistent proof of quality. The evaluation process took more than six months, including independent audits, manufacturing facility surveys, quality management system evaluations, and reviews of engineering and manufacturing capabilities.
 

GTC Technology Korea recently relocated to an 11,500 square meter manufacturing facility in Nonsan, South Korea. The state-of-the-art facility, which was re-certified as ISO 9001 compliant in the spring of 2010, produces a variety of process equipment, including distillation equipment, high performance trays, packing materials and reactor internals. This manufacturing facility also equips indoor liquid distributor test facility which is mandatory for validating high performance liquid distributor performances prior to job site delivery.
 

“We are proud to have passed Saudi Aramco’s intensive evaluation and approval process,” said Jaeman Cho, president of GTC Technology Korea. “We designed our Korean facility with close attention to the highest quality standards – standards which Aramco seeks and requires. We look forward to providing Aramco with our best-in-class mass transfer solutions and working together on a variety of engagements in the future.”
