Indigenous engineering and procurement firm, Marowin Engineering and Development Limited has announced its partnership with Elcometer, a manufacturer of equipment needed for maintaining integrity and flow assurance in pipeline systems.
According to Marowin, the collaboration showcased at the just-concluded African Downstream Energy Week in Lagos, gives local industries ready access to Elcometer’s equipment and tools, aiming to bolster operational reliability across Nigeria and Ghana.
Speaking to journalists, Marowin’s representative, Ayodele Adegoju, emphasised the significance of this development for Nigeria’s industrial and petroleum sectors.
“Our partnership with Elcometer not only shortens procurement time but enhances uptime for clients by providing essential equipment locally,” Adegoju explained.
According to him, with the distribution agreement, Marowin is positioning itself as a critical provider in the oil and gas industry, offering solutions that streamline processes and improve the safety and longevity of industrial facilities.
“Flow assurance and system integrity are vital for operational efficiency in industries reliant on pipelines, from oil and gas to petrochemicals. As pipelines age, they become prone to micro-wear and degradation, leading to potential leaks or breakdowns if not properly maintained.
“The comprehensive range of Elcometer products, now accessible through Marowin, allows companies to conduct regular maintenance checks and preventive measures to avoid these costly failures.
“Elcometer’s offerings include specialised equipment for coating, spraying, blasting, and a range of non-destructive testing tools. These tools enable companies to measure material thickness, test adhesion, and assess surface profiles, ensuring that pipelines and other flow-critical systems remain safe and functional,“ he said.
He noted that the capabilities are essential for maintaining the integrity of pipeline networks and facilities, especially as private refinery projects gain traction in Nigeria and the demand for high-quality infrastructure escalates.
Marowin’s entry into this market comes at a pivotal moment, as African countries seek to strengthen cross-border energy connections and streamline fuel transport.
The company stated that the Elcometer range caters to all segments of the petroleum industry—upstream, midstream, and downstream.
As the sole distributor of these essential products in Nigeria and Ghana, he said Marowin Engineering is positioning itself as a cornerstone for industry reliability and efficiency in the region.
