Peace of Mind - From World’s Leading Supplier
Helium (He) is a colorless, odorless, non-toxic, non-corrosive and non-combustible gas. Most commonly associated with balloon and parade float inflation, it is actually indispensable across a wide range of industries due to its physical and chemical properties.
For example, it is used in healthcare to cool superconductive magnetic coils in magnetic resonance imagers (MRI) and in research to cool nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) equipment. Semiconductor manufacturers rely on it for protective atmospheres and epitaxial crystal growth. Other applications include heat treatment, pressurized rocket fuel, shielding gas for high-alloy welding processes, analytical instrument calibration, automotive airbag inflation and leak testing in various manufacturing processes.
Helium is primarily sourced as a component of natural gas in certain “helium-rich” reservoirs. The helium-bearing stream produced at the wellhead is transported via pipeline to helium processing plants, where the gas is refined to high-purity specifications and liquefied at temperatures approaching absolute zero.
Our Offering
We are the world’s leading supplier of helium with a diverse sourcing mix spanning the globe. We also operate one of the world’s largest processing plants in Ulysses, Kansas, while continuing to aggressively develop new sources and liquid helium processing facilities throughout the world.
Liquid helium produced at this processing plant is transported in specialized super-insulated ISO containers either directly to our customers around the world or to one of our 50-plus helium transfill facilities located in all major helium markets around the globe. At our transfill facilities, the liquid helium is re-packaged into tube trailers, dewars, multi-cylinder packs (MCPs), regular cylinders or portable cylinders. Consequently, we have the infrastructure and reach to meet our customers’ needs across all supply modes.
Our helium product management team has extensive expertise in all areas of the helium supply chain, including crude sourcing, production technology, application technology and supply systems. Our team would be delighted to discuss your individual needs and advise on how we can help.
