The New Cryogenic Pump Testing Facility & The Ribbon Cutting Ceremony
Elliot Group (Elliott), a wholly owned subsidiary of EBARA CORPORATION (EBARA), held the ribbon cutting ceremony to commemorate the completion of Elliott’s new state-of-the-art cryogenic pumps testing facility in Jeannette, PA of USA.
Elliott designs, manufactures, and services technically advanced centrifugal and axial compressors, steam turbines, power recovery expanders, and submerged cryogenic pumps and liquid expanders used in the petrochemical, refining, oil & gas, and liquefied gas industries, as well as in power applications. Elliott’s Cryodynamics® line of submerged pumps and submerged expanders are used both onshore and offshore for cryogenic liquefaction, storage, and regasification applications.
Construction on the Cryodynamic Products testing facility kicked off in December 2019.
The 13-acre campus is situated on the former Jeannette Glass property, and encompasses six buildings, including an indoor enclosed test loop. The test loop features two cryogenic pump test stands and a dedicated cryogenic expander test stand.
