Ebara
International Corporation's Cryodynamics Division, located in Sparks, Nevada,
has broken ground on a $2 million expansion of their liquefied gas pump test
facility. This expansion will allow an increased number of their submerged
cryogenic pumps to be tested per year. The expansion includes the addition of
two test tanks, bringing the total to five, and in-line heat exchangers into
the suction lines to increase the efficiency of the closed loop system.
 The
expansion is required to keep up with the increased demand in the LNG
(liquefied natural gas) market, which is increasing at a very high rate. The
submerged pumps manufactured by Ebara-Cryodynamics are primarily used to pump
natural gas when in it's liquid form prior to being vaporized. After
vaporization, the gas is sent through a distribution network throughout the
country where the gas is delivered, and used for cooking, heating, power
generation and other industrial uses. The pumps are also used in the exporting
countries who refine and liquefy the gas, and also in the shipping industry to
deliver the LNG to the importing countries.
