The new headquarters will house advanced capabilities such as laser scanning, virtual assembly, metrology, and much more, allowing RMS to serve Gulf Coast customers quickly.

The key liquefaction equipment, including Frame-7 turbines and centrifugal compressors, allows Sempra Infrastructure to expand LNG export capabilities in the United States.

The non-contacting, gas-lubricated seal offers simplicity of maintenance, reduced downtime, and significantly minimized power consumption—up to 90 – 95% less usage.

The company is using existing platform and subsea equipment designs to improve cost efficiencies for the hub’s construction, commissioning, and operations.

The Ansan Smart Hub will be converted into a high-efficiency, eco-friendly power plant capable of accommodating a future fuel conversion from natural gas to hydrogen.

Mechanically sealed pumps are subject to cavitation damage, thermal shock, and more when operating with ammonia, so operators deploy sealless designs to counter corrosive effects.

The natural gas-fed pipeline system will be expanded in Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona, with potential bidders supporting markets in the Desert Southwest.

Dr. Marco Ernst of Everllence says that deploying multiple centrifugal compressor trains allows the company to cover compression from capture to offshore transmission.

The plant will capture, purify, and liquefy up to 30,000 tons of CO2 per year, which is then transported via tanker for use in the food industry.

The dual-fuel engines will each supply 18.5 MW of power to build Mauritania’s electricity supply, while the 90-bore ME-LGIM engine successfully burned ethanol at all load points.

With some mechanical and hydraulic modifications, conventional centrifugal pumps can handle supercritical fluids better than most centrifugal compressor designs.

Korea Southern Power and Doosan Enerbility will use Korean-made products in its pumped-storage hydropower projects, strengthening local manufacturing and engineering industries.

The pre-commissioned skid contains three C65 microturbines fueled by pipeline-derived natural gas, accommodating additional load growth and same-day connection/startup.

While canned motor pumps are suitable for high-pressure ammonia applications, magnetically coupled pumps are typically deployed for higher flow, lower pressure services.

Facing rising demand, decarbonization targets, and supply chain volatility, John Crane’s Nico Schmaeling urged turbomachinery professionals at the 2025 Turbomachinery & Pump Symposium to address the energy trilemma—security, affordability, and sustainability—through smarter design, efficiency upgrades, and cross-industry collaboration.

The company’s gas turbine and refrigerant compressor technology supports an additional 6 MTPA of LNG capacity and lower emissions at the Texas-based facility.

A major ethane transmission company installed the Type 8628VL seals on inconsistent pump equipment, achieving non-contact performance, low leakage, and zero failures.
