ProSep has appointed Ryan McPherson as general manager for the Middle East, the company said in a news release.

McPherson joins the company from the Industry Technology Facilitator, where he has been regional director for the Middle East and Asia Pacific based in Abu Dhabi since 2011. ProSep, which offers a life-cycle portfolio of patented solutions to the global oil and gas industry, said it also has signed a lease on a new office space in Abu Dhabi in the Al Muroor area as it prepares to deliver more projects in the region.

This company secured a contract with Saudi Aramco in the Arab Gulf Region earlier this year for the supply of its patented ProSalt wash water injection and mixing system, the release said. This followed a trial by the operator which delivered results that included a 40% reduction in the wash-water consumption rate, from 50 gallons per minute to 30, saving more than 10 million gallons of wash water per year in one facility alone and a 60% reduction in oil-in-water content from the desalter, ProSep said.
