TUPH30	ALBA Synchrotron Light Source Liquefaction Helium Plant	102
	M. Prieto, J.J. Casas, C. Colldelram, Y. Nikitin ALBA-CELLS Synchrotron, Cerdanyola del Vallès, Spain
	ALBA is a 3rd generation Synchrotron Light facility with: 8 operational Beam Lines (BLs), a 2nd BL of Phase II under construction and 3 first Phase III BLs in design phase. Some user experiments require Liquid Helium (LHe) as a coolant. The resulting LHe consumption at ALBA is about 650 l/week. Thus far the vaporized helium, which results from the refrigeration of experiments and equipment, has been released into the atmosphere without being reused. Due to the increasing price of LHe, ALBA agreed with ICN2 (Catalan Institute of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology) to invest in a Liquefaction Helium Plant. Internal staff has carried out the project, installation and pressure equipment legalization of the plant, which is located in a new 80 m2 construction. Under operation the plant allows recycling up to 24960 litres of LHe per year, which is an 80% of the helium consumed at ALBA, by making the gaseous helium undergo through 3 main stages: recovery, purification and liquefaction. The plant, unique in Catalonia, will entail cost savings about 77% and will reduce vulnerability to supply disruptions. ICN2 will benefit from a part of the production due to their initial investment.

	The SAXS/WAXS Experimental End sTation (NCD-SWEET) at ALBA Synchrotron has undergone major improvements in three main areas, beam performance, SAXS detector data quality and beamline operability, in order to perform state-of-the-art SAXS/WAXS experi-ments. A new channel-cut monochromator system has improved the beam quality and stability, with current vibration amplitudes under 1% of the beam size. Two sets of refractive beryllium lenses have been installed for focussing the beam. One of the sets allows to microfocus the beam size. Besides this, the former SAXS CCD detector has been replaced by a single-photon counting pixel detector, a Piltatus3 S 1M. In the end station, a full re-design of the mechanical elements with sub-micron resolution movements together with the installation of new equipment has been completed, resulting in an improved beamline configuration, and a faster and safer rearrangement of the flight tube length. New upgraded configuration also allows for GISAXS experiments. Finally, other auxiliary improvements have been done in areas like radiation protection, air conditioning, health and safety, cable management, electronics and control.
