An order with a value of more than $6-million has been received by the Worthington Group, McGraw-Edison Company, Basking Ridge, N.J., for 40 cryogenic pumps to be installed at a new liquid petroleum gas (LPG) terminal in Arzew, Algeria.
The pumps, to be built at Worthington's Sacramento, Calif., plant were ordered by Shinsho Corporation, Tokyo. The order for the submerged, motor driven LPG pumps was placed on behalf of Ishikawajima-Harima Heavy Industries (IHI), which is constructing the LPG loading facility for L'Enterprise Nationale Sonatrach. The pumps will be delivered by Worthington in the second half of 1982.
In this application, the tank-mounted submerged pumps of retractable design, largest of this type ever built, will handle liquids at 47 degrees below zero centigrade (52 degrees below zero Fahrenheit).
