Qatar Turbomachinery Hub

New sales and service facility for Nikkiso

Nikkiso Clean Energy & Industrial Gases Group is expanding its sales and service capabilities for the Middle East by establishing a new turbomachinery hub. The facility will be located in the Business Innovation Park in Ras Bufontas, Qatar. Its purpose is to support projects related to cryogenic pumps, turboexpanders, equipment for LNG, ethylene, ammonia, hydrocarbon gas liquids, and industrial gases. In addition, Nikkiso will provide integrated solutions to support local sustainability solutions; such as organic Rankine cycle for waste heat recovery, hydrogen liquefaction and fueling, and cryogenic energy storage.
