Abu Dhabi, 17 February 2024: Al Masaood Group, prominent Abu Dhabi conglomerate, along with its partner, German compressor manufacturer Sauer Compressors, will be participating at the Naval Defence Exhibition (NAVDEX) 2025, showcasing a state-of-art naval compressor. Taking place at the Abu Dhabi Exhibition Centre from February 17th to 21st, 2025, the exhibition brings industry leaders and defence experts together to delve into the latest innovations in naval defence technologies.
The compressor – the SAUER Tornado WP3325 B3-5 BasBooster, is an air-cooled high-pressure compressor of a similar vertical design to the SAUER 5000 series naval compressors, used in the SAUER Centralized High-Pressure Air System for naval platforms. Having previously been unveiled at the Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition & Conference (ADIPEC) 2024, the compressor will once again be featured for its innovative features that cater to the demanding high-performance, high-pressure requirements of both the navy and offshore sectors.
Rasso Bartenschlager, General Manager, Al Masaood Power Division, said: “We are proud to be working alongside Sauer Compressors, a leader in innovative compressor technology and to bring the SAUER Tornado BasBooster to NAVDEX 2025. This compressor is the perfect example of the advanced technology and innovative spirit that define our partnership. We look forward to showcasing its capabilities to the international maritime and naval defence community.”
With a compact and powerful design, the SAUER Tornado series compressors boast a space-saving footprint of less than 0.5 m², while delivering exceptional performance with final pressures of up to 400 bar. The advanced multistage compression system distributes compression across three or four stages, with improved cylinder cooling and a reduced oil requirement, which enhances overall efficiency.
The compressor is also equipped with a superior cooling technology that features a high efficiency cooling fan, maintaining lower operating temperatures and reducing maintenance needs. The durable construction includes a heavy-duty, rigid flange connection between the motor and compressor, ensuring longevity with maintenance intervals extending to 2,500 operational hours.
Ibrahim Bichnak, Business Development Manager, Sauer Compressors, said: “NAVDEX 2025 is the ideal stage for us to highlight our compressor and its advanced capabilities of to a global audience. Our partnership with Al Masaood Group enhances our ability to deliver superior solutions while setting the stage for future innovations.
