CUI Global Secures Repeat Order for GasPTi Device from Leading North American Power & Energy Producer

HOUSTON, Feb. 20, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- CUI Global, Inc. (NASDAQ: CUI) announced today that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Orbital Gas Systems North America. ("Orbital N.A."), has been awarded a fourth purchase order in as many months for its GasPTi device from a leading U.S.-based power and energy producer. The devices are being utilized in a process control application to optimize the efficiency and minimize maintenance on certain of the customer's gas-fired compressor turbines in the northeastern United States.

GasPTi combines two patented gas technologies ? GasPT® analyzer and VE Technology® sample probe and system ? to create a unique and revolutionary method to almost instantly and accurately determine natural gas quality in a cost-efficient manner. First deployed by the customer in 2015, the speed and accuracy of GasPTi allows the customer to precisely control the air/fuel ratio injected into its turbines to decrease fuel consumption, reduce emissions and improve their efficiency and life-expectancy. Given the size and number of the customer's turbine facilities, GasPTi is a faster, lower-cost and highly accurate alternative to slower gas chromatographs and the prohibitive costs and ongoing maintenance they require.

Orbital N.A. President, Nicholas J. Clough, stated, "These repeat orders from a premier power and energy company highlight the effectiveness of our product range and its relevance to the greenfield North American market, and particularly in process control applications. We are encouraged to see our early adopters start to ramp up implementation and reorder across their networks."
