PVPC Global Khobar

PVPC Global is an international trade fair for flow technology, open exclusively to trade visitors from industry, engineering, procurement, plant engineering and infrastructure. The event focuses on advanced technologies and services for the transport, control, monitoring and optimisation of liquids and gases. It serves as a specialised platform for companies and professionals involved in the development, manufacture, operation and procurement of industrial flow and fluid systems.

Organised by Hazm Events & Media LLC, the event takes place annually at the Dammam–Dhahran Expo in the Dammam/Al-Khobar region of Saudi Arabia.

PVPC Global focuses primarily on pumps, valves and fittings, piping and pipeline systems, and compressors. Exhibits include centrifugal, submersible, reciprocating and specialist pumps; control, safety and pressure valves; digital positioners and actuators; steel, plastic and composite pipes; and high-performance air, gas and industrial compressors. However, the scope of the event extends well beyond conventional mechanical components. Smart flow technologies, flow measurement, the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), sensors, SCADA systems, digital twins, automated process control and AI-based condition monitoring are becoming increasingly prominent. The portfolio is complemented by services relating to predictive maintenance, lifecycle management, pipeline integrity, corrosion protection, leak detection and asset health management.

A key focus is the integration of conventional fluid technology with digitalisation, Industry 4.0, automation, energy efficiency and sustainability. Trade visitors can learn how AI and smart sensors can detect potential pump or compressor faults at an early stage, how smart valves enable automated flow control, and how digital twins and real-time data can be used to optimise entire fluid systems. Other forward-looking topics include low-emission technologies, sustainable materials, renewable energy, and hydrogen-ready piping and plant infrastructure.

Exhibitors span a broad range of industrial sectors and include manufacturers and suppliers of pumps, valves, piping systems and compressors, as well as companies specialising in process automation, measurement technology, sensors, software, plant monitoring, maintenance and industrial services. The solutions on display are particularly relevant to the oil and gas industry, petrochemicals and chemicals, water management and desalination, power generation and utilities, infrastructure and construction, industrial manufacturing, mining, heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC), and renewable energy. These sectors depend heavily on reliable systems capable of transporting and processing liquids and gases safely and efficiently, with digital control playing an increasingly important role.

Key visitor groups include engineers and technical specialists, procurement and supply chain managers, EPC contractors, plant operators, maintenance and reliability specialists, manufacturers, distributors and contractors, as well as project consultants, senior executives, investors, and representatives of public-sector organisations and utility companies.

The supporting programme includes live product demonstrations, technical workshops, innovation forums, Tech Labs, targeted business matchmaking and a Hosted Buyer Programme. Workshop topics include AI-based predictive maintenance, smart valve technologies, digital flow optimisation, pipeline integrity and advanced leak detection. Practical sessions give trade visitors the opportunity to experience new technologies first-hand and discuss their potential applications with industry experts.

Overall, PVPC Global brings together established industrial technologies such as pumps, valves, piping and compressors with current developments in digitalisation, AI, automation, energy efficiency and sustainable infrastructure. The Dammam–Dhahran Expo is located in Saudi Arabia’s economically important Eastern Province, within the Dammam, Dhahran and Al-Khobar metropolitan area. The region has strong links to the oil and gas, petrochemical and energy industries, providing a highly relevant industrial setting for an international flow technology trade fair. The venue is also well connected to the metropolitan area’s transport network and the region’s international airport.

The PVPC Global takes place for the 5th time on 3 days from Wed., 14.07.2027 to Fri., 16.07.2027 in Khobar.
