Cryogenics – R&D


The leadership test
When it comes to its products Cryostar’s ethos is simple: equipment reliability
and high performance guaranteed. Which is why quality control is paramount
and every product – be it fresh off the assembly line or recently refurbished – is
subject to stringent testing before delivery. To maintain this guarantee, Cryostar
has made considerable investments.

Our guarantee

These include a unique LN2 pump test stand, allowing different simulations, and
turbine/ compressor tests site, complete with data capture facilities. R&D also
plays its part, testing equipment in ‘real time’, looking for innovative ways to im-
prove on existing technology. For Cryostar, leadership of the global cryogenic
equipment market is synonymous with being at the cutting edge of equipment
test technology. It also underpins the Cryostar ethos: equipment reliability and
high performance guaranteed.

extension of the network, Cryostar provides added value services in a number
of areas. On-site installation advice, commissioning support, troubleshooting ex-
pertise, new technology up-grades of existing machines, 24-hour service, main-
tenance contracts, including spare parts management, are just some proactive
solutions available to Cryostar customers.


Solutions to the industry
Cryostar is able to provide solutions for every process, transfer and
distribution application for the cryogenic industry. Be it centrifugal
single- or multi-stage, reciprocating for high pressure, modular,
vertical, horizontal, skid mounted, road trailer mounted – Cryostar
has developed it. Need increasing reliability and product life, safety
of operation, ease of installation and reduced maintenance costs?

Pumps

Cryostar is the one-stop shop that can make it happen. The modular concept
and latest technical improvements have made Cryostar’s process and transfer
pumps the preferred equipment in the international industrial gases industry.
Looking for seals – be it composite, gas riding, and labyrinth, dual – Cryostar has
the best to suit the application. Need high-pressure pumps to fill cylinders?
Cryostar can provide not only the pumps but also a complete turnkey installa-
tion. The name Cryostar stands for solutions.


Turnkey solutions for filling and fuelling
With more than 20 years experience, Cryostar Automation is at the leading edge
of the manual and automatic high pressure, liquid filling solutions market. Our
expertise encompasses two main applications: industrial gas in cylinder filling
systems and natural gas for vehicle refueling stations, in gaseous or liquefied
form.

Automation
Cryostar Automation brings added value through engineered turnkey solutions
that meet the most stringent requirements in terms of project management,
integration as well as installation and start-up. Cryostar Automation is the ideal
partner to optimise project performance, safety and reliability.


Savings through high performance
Cryostar’s wide range of turbines – cold production ranging from 1kW to 4mW – are
used for all types of gases, with a choice of brakes adapted to all kind of proc-
esses (ASU, NLU, N2 generators). Thanks to in-house expertise, Cryostar’s turbines
are the industry standard for industrial gas companies around the world. Results
show good performance in either electricity savings or enhanced output, where
reliability means reduced operating costs. Oil braked, compressor loaded or
generator loaded units, for energy recovery, are available in a broad range of
standard frame sizes. Cryostar is also the only manufacturer capable of provid-
ing a full range of special application turbines. These include mixed brake units,
oil brake and cold compressor; liquid expansion turbines, installed in parallel to
the Joule Thomson valves in order to reduce energy consumption or increase
output using the same power input; and clean fuels (biogas) expanders.

Turbines


Reliability
Cryostar is the preferred supplier of turbines for hydrocarbon gas processing for
many engineering companies and end users for the oil and gas industry.
Cryostar’s hydrocarbon expanders are known to be particularly robust, reliable
and highly efficient machines built to the latest API 614 and API 617 standards.
With over 30 years of experience in aerodynamic design, Cryostar has achieved
an outstanding level of isentropic efficiency, typically between 86 to 91 per
cent. These units are used in cryogenic gas processing applications such as
natural gas plants for NGL recovery, olefin plants, LNG production, pipeline gas
dew point control and H2/CO processing.
