Äager, a worldwide specialist in engineering, construction and manufacturing for oil, gas, water, chemical and petrochemical industries is pleased to announce that Äager have successfully received SONCAP accreditation by the Standards Organization of Nigeria for complete range of floating roof products.

Äager Storagetech™ is a major full contact and pontoon type internal floating roof supplier in Africa. Äager Storagetech™’s floating roofs fully comply with API 650. Floating roofs eliminates the evaporation losses of stored products, such as petrochemicals, gasoline, diesel, and crude oil, and therefore saves assets and protects environment from toxic gasses.

Oktay Altunergil, CEO of Äager says: “By receiving SONCAP verification, Äager overcome all the obstacle of being present in one of the most unexplored but potential markets. As Nigeria being Africa’s largest oil producer, I am sure we will seize the full opportunity of it and get the chance to present our quality products in best possible way.”
