Curtiss-Wright Awarded Multi-Million Dollar Order for Deltaguard(R) Systems

         To Supply 10 of the Automated Coke Drum Unheading Systems



    ROSELAND, N.J., Aug. 18 /EMWNews/ -- Global Supplies has

awarded Curtiss-Wright Corporation (NYSE: CW) a multi-million dollar

contract for 10 top and bottom DeltaGuard automated coke drum unheading

systems. The units are expected to be installed at the Essar Oil Vadinar

Refinery located in Gujarat, India by October 2009.



    "Curtiss-Wright is a worldwide leader in delivering unique solutions

that ensure safety and improve operating efficiency within the oil refining

industry. We are pleased to be partnering with Essar to provide critical

equipment for their delayed coker units," said Martin R. Benante, Chairman

and Chief Executive Officer of Curtiss-Wright. "Curtiss-Wright continues to

experience strong demand for our refinery-related products, which have

steadily gained an industry-leading reputation for providing unparalleled

safety, reduced cycle times, increased throughput and minimized maintenance

costs."



    The DeltaGuard device safely opens the top or bottom of a coke drum (an

action called "unheading") during the delayed coking process, which

generates extreme temperature and pressure conditions. Unlike other

unheading systems, the remotely operated DeltaGuard system creates a

totally enclosed coking system, eliminating safety risks to personnel

during the unheading process. With the Essar installation, the total number

of installed DeltaGuard systems will rise to 254, representing nearly 34%

of the worldwide market.
