New construction of a helium liquefaction plant incl. helium recovery
- Scope of supply helium liquefaction plant
- Cycle compressor water cooled
- Oil remover system with gas management panel
- Coldbox including expansion turbines and freeze-out purifier
- Gas dryer
- Transfer line from liquefier VL100 to stationary LHe Dewar
- Transfer line from LHe Dewar to mobile Dewars
- Automatic filling for mobile Dewars
- MSR technology
- LHe Dewar 1.900l
