Helium Liquefication Plant VL100 & Recovery

Liquefication | Recovery

Construction of a VL100 helium liquefier with recovery system, 80 L/h, at the WMI in Munich

Design, manufacturing, assembly, and installation of a new helium liquefier with gas-bearing expansion turbines.

  • Delivery of a Helium Liquefication Plant
    • Cycle compressor, watercooled
    • Oil Remover System with Gas Management Panel
    • Coldbox incl. expansion turbines and freeze-out-purifier
    • Gas dryer
    • Process control technology (MSR)
    • Installation of five new GHe storage tanks with a total volume of 60.000 l
  • Installation of new LN2 storage tanks with a total volume of 12.000 l
  • Automatic gas distribution with the helium distribution panel
  • High-purity gas piping within the building
  • Installation of all system components
  • Commissioning of the entire system
  • Maintenance of ongoing operations during conversion and construction phase, no significant losses
