Cofimco China celebrate the ISO9001 certification
Along with Italy and India, Cofimco China finally achieved the ISO9001 certification. After a successful audit from TUV back in April, Cofimco China received the official ISO 9001-2008 Quality Management System Certification for the Production and Delivery of Industrial Fans and Accessories.
This is an important achievement for the company, a big step in our continued quality improvement, and aligns Cofimco China standards with our other manufacturing locations.
A supply of 600 axial fans for Yamal Lng project in Russia
When it is necessary to achieve peak performance in even the most prohibitive weather conditions, Cofimco products are able to offer guaranteed efficiency, reliability, and safety. That's the reason why GEA Batignolles Technologies Thermiques (GEA BTT) did not hesitate to turn to us for the supply of 600 fans for the Yamall LNG project in Russia. The fans supplied to BTT will be equipped with special materials in order to work at extremely low ambient temperatures (less than -50°C). This is not the first time Cofimco received the commission to design and supply low temperature fans, but it is certainly one of the largest projects of its kind.
Yamal LNG is a natural gas plant at Sabetta, North-east of the Yamal Peninsula, Russia. Often referred as the Yamal Megaproject, it is part of a long-term plan to extract and bring to the markets the 418 billion cubic meters of gas reserves in the Yamal Peninsula.
The Yamal LNG project is one of the largest industrial undertakings in the Arctic and it will involve the drilling of more than 200 wells, the construction of 3 LNG trains – each one with a capacity of 5.5 million tons per year -, a vast gas terminal, and the commissioning (the first in the world) of 16 icebreaker tankers, each one with transport capacity of 170,000 m³. It is a major new maritime route for transporting natural gas to Europe and Asia.
Technip France is building a LNG facility for Yamal in three stages. Each stage will add 5.5 million tons of annual LNG production capacity, resulting in final capacity of 16.5 million tons.
GEA BTT landed a record order with a value of over 40 million Euros from the plant contracting companies Technip and JGC. GEA BTT will design the heat exchangers, manufacture them over a period of three years, and deliver them to the customer.
Cofimco is proud to be a part of this project. We are confident that the high quality of our products will make a major contribution to its success.
COFIMCO bags order for “Tempa Rossa” project with TOTAL

In cold, cold Russia
Harsh climatic condition does not affect the performance of our fans: Cofimco and Spig successfully completed a Natural Draft Cooling Tower project in cold, cold Russia. Designed specifically for the chemical plant’s upgrade, the Cooling Tower came equipped with a fan made from highly resistant materials at the extraordinary diameter of 20 meters.
The custom Cofimco fan, equipped with FRP fan blades, has a special larger hub.
It isn't afraid of cold, cold Russia’s weather either.
No more headaches with the complete package
Our customers know very well that a fan does not run by itself. It requires a motor and a fan ring to rotate. So why not get the complete package from us and save yourselves the headaches? Today, more and more new customers are asking Cofimco for complete fan units, designed with all elements perfectly fitting together: no more headaches!
Faco, an Italian company that plays a leading role in the field of heat exchangers for industrial applications, buys complete Cofimco fan units that include motors complete with fans, fan rings, and the necessary electrical wiring for external connection.
The customer need only plug it in and turn it on. The available range is typically from 4 feet to 7 feet. Atex certification is available upon request.
A hit with the heat
Heat is our primary form of energy. And heat from geothermal energy, contained within the Earth, generates geological phenomena on a planetary scale. The Earth’s heat can be recovered and used by man to produce power.
Ormat, one of the world leading companies for engineering and building geothermal plants, has chosen Cofimco aluminum fans for cooling their plants. A series of 192 fans with 5-meter diameter will be used in the McGinness Hills geothermal complex located in Lander County, Nevada. After the upgrade, their plant will produce a net average annual capacity of more than 60 MW from the thermal energy generated and stored in the Earth.
The new Tandem blade fan: the future is now!
Since 2005, Carlo Gallina has been working in the technical department of Cofimco. Now he's in charge of the Engineering Division of Cofimco Italy and involved in the Research & Development of high performance axial fans.
After many months of hard work and relentless testing with his team, Carlo had the pleasure to present the new Tandem® blade at CTI Annual Conference last February 6th. As one would expect, his presentation was greeted with enthusiasm: the product is designed to optimize fan performance by increasing lift and reducing vortexes generated by the blade.
The future is now. Please call us to receive more information about this revolutionary product!
From Russia To Cote d'Ivorie: The World Is Just Enough!
Cofimco is proud to announce new major contracts were made official with the German subsidiary of GEA. The supply consists of fans with FRP and aluminum blades, which will serve Air Cooled Condensers to be constructed in Cote d'Ivoire, Argentina, and Russia.
An important contract was signed with Hyundai, commissioning eighteen 10,973 mm diameter fans for the Ciprel IV expansion project in the the Republic of Côte d'Ivoire.
Sixteen large fans equipped with aluminum blades will soon be ready to use in two more Air-Cooled Condensers nearing completion in the province of Chubut, in southern Argentina. In this case, the order came from Pan American Energy Group.
Thanks to Tomet Methanol, Russia will be the country where nine other large fans will come into operation soon.
These results confirm Cofimco as the global leader in the field of axial fans, a goal achieved after years of hard work and continuous research: each fan we supply is ready to face the most severe working conditions in every part of the world. A fact that each of our partners know. And appreciates.
