Puradyn Continues to Make Inroads in Oil and Gas Industry Through DistributionNOW Network

BOYNTON BEACH, FL--(Marketwired - Nov 29, 2016) - Puradyn Filter Technologies Incorporated (OTCQB: PFTI) (Puradyn) announced today continued expansion of its customer base through the efforts of DistributionNOW (DNOW), a leading distributor for Puradyn bypass oil filtration products in the oil and gas, downstream and industrial, and manufacturing services industries.

Kevin G. Kroger, President and Chief Operating Officer, stated, "The commitment within DNOW shown to Puradyn in the first nine months since the initial announcement of our distribution agreement has exceeded our expectations. DNOW's outstanding reputation in these industries has helped us make positive inroads by obtaining audiences with customers with which, in the past, we had never been able to gain access. Many have either begun evaluations of our products or have concluded evaluations and begun purchasing our products. Any success we've seen this year has been in spite of historic weak rig counts and relatively static commodity prices."

Following are examples of how DNOW's network is broadening Puradyn's presence in the global marketplace:

• To date, they have initiated 83 new introductions, and growing. 
• DNOW's reach continues to help us expand our global presence as demonstrated in a shipment of our systems to a large oil company in Argentina.
• DNOW's Middle-East Division received a large shipment of Puradyn replacement filters in June to support the large generator sets operating drilling equipment equipped with our largest model, the MTS-240. 
• Again, through DNOW's support network, a significant repeat order was received through DNOW from a global oil & gas contractor in Saudi Arabia which has reported safely extending oil changes from 500 to 2,000+ hours using the puraDYN^® System. Over half of the order is for our dual-unit systems able to handle a higher oil sump capacity.

Kroger continued, "Our reach is constantly expanding as DNOW continues to ship the puraDYN^® System to more companies throughout the world. We are more confident that there is a demand for Puradyn's technologies globally that provide end-users lucrative savings, extend the life of high-value engine assets, and reduce oil consumption and handling of used oil, a definite benefit to the environment."

Kroger concluded, "With the price of oil now moving back toward $50/barrel and U.S. rig count up by over 37% from late April to mid-November, certain companies are hiring again and putting rigs back into service. If the price continues to stabilize, even with a slight increase, we believe the industry will continue to move steadily to reinstate existing rigs and eventually see new "built for purpose" rigs, providing potential, additional opportunities for installation of the Puradyn system. In addition, we have yet to really penetrate the pressure pumping, midstream, and offshore markets where we believe our value proposition is every bit as compelling as it has been to the land-based drilling market."
