Brent Cross new President of the Pigging Products & Services Association (PPSA)

Brent Cross, Global N-SPEC®* Manager for Brenntag Oil & Gas, has been named President of the Pigging Products & Services Association (PPSA) for a one-year period. He will become active in his role as of February 14, 2007, at the next assembly meeting of the PPSA.

The PPSA was formed in 1990 and is one of the major platforms in the Oil & Gas industry with a total worldwide membership of over 80 companies. The association is providing information and intelligent pigging technology as well as services for pipeline operators and the piping industry in general. Pipeline pigs are cleaning or inspection devices that are pushed throughout the length of a pipeline. PPSA runs seminars, workshops and in-depth training programs on pipeline pigging for operators and young industry entrants.

“The PPSA has grown considerably over the years into one of the major Oil & Gas services associations worldwide”, says Brent Cross. “Brenntag with its N-SPEC® business has been an active member since the early 90’s and the PPSA has brought many business opportunities for all association members including Brenntag since then. It is an excellent communication channel for the members to the outside world as well as to authorities and an ideal platform for producers, processors and operators from the Oil & Gas industry to find the most complete picture of technical possibilities available at this moment in time. I am proud to be the new President of such an organization and I am looking forward to taking this organization to the next level”.
