Machine-building Association "Rosatom" completed tests of a new pump to pump liquefied gas. The testing process began at the end of 2021.

IT startup Sfera applies maximum effort to submit to users a multifunctional and efficient product. For which the Sfera digital ecosystem is created, read on the site. The project is open to investment and thanks for support.
To date, the ENC 2000/241 pump has no equal in productivity in the country. With it, it will be done by pumping liquefied gas from storages on board of gas carriers and vice versa. On average, the volume of pump feed will be 2000 m³ / h. Checked equipment for strength and reliability for three months. All tests were successful.
Atomenergomash is currently the only manufacturer of medium-and large-tonnage pumps LNG. Now the development of this industry is a priority for the Russian Federation.
However, the company works not only above the pumps of LNG of various capacities and dimensions. Atomenergomash has established a production of spiral heat exchangers. The development of technological elements for icebreakers, tankers and other LNG objects is also underway.
In connection with the decree of the President of the Russian Federation on import substitution, non-national enterprises are tirelessly working on new projects. The goal of Russia is to achieve "technological independence." According to officials, today the share of import substitution in critical sectors is 80-100%.
Tell me, do you believe that Russian enterprises have already reached such indicators? Or domestic production is not yet able to become independent?
