SACGC signs partnership contract with Kuwaiti inventor

Sabah Al-Ahmad Center for Giftedness and Creativity signed on Wednesday a partnership contract with a Kuwaiti inventor to be sponsored by the Kuwait Petroleum Corporation (KPC) as a strategic partner. The innovation deals with a partial control valve for unforced suspension devices of the safety regulations in the oil installations. The signing ceremony took place today between the Kuwait Foundation for the Advancement of Sciences (KFAS) center and the Kuwaiti Engineer Tareq Al-Buaijan in the presence of the commercial partner (KPC) and its subsidiaries. KFAS' Director General Dr. Adnan Shihabuddin said in a speech during the ceremony that Al-Buaijan has won a patent for achieving a global breakthrough within the standards and specifications of the petroleum companies. His innovation, he added, will save millions of dollars for those companies in particular and for Kuwait in general through direct cost (the cost of purchasing and operating) as well as the indirect cost represented in the reduction of risks and accidents, which will be reflected on the cost of insurance for the oil and petrochemical facilities. He said the technical experience showed "impressive" results of the invention, which was registered in the Netherlands by international safety experts at the Hanwell Company, along with reports from consultancy firms and manufacturers of forced suspensions devices Siemens and others. He expressed KFAS' keenness to support the Kuwaiti innovators for the development of their promising innovations.
