HELIUM

HELIUM

Renergen, is the world’s newest producer of liquid helium from our Virginia Gas Plant. Our helium plant is in commercial operation making South Africa among 8 other countries in the world to produce it’s own Liquid Helium.

Helium is a vital and irreplaceable element in many modern industries. Helium is used for space exploration, rocketry, high level scientific applications, in the medical industry for MRI machines, fibre optics, electronics, telecommunications, superconductivity, underwater breathing, welding, nuclear power stations and lifting balloons.

WHY IS HELIUM IMPORTANT?

  • Helium is a rare commodity
  • Helium becomes economically viable to extract from natural gas at concentrations as low as 0.1%
  • The Virginia Gas Project’s average concentration of helium is 3.4%
  • Tetra4 is placed at the forefront of exciting new discoveries for global helium supply

WHERE DO WE FIND HELIUM ON EARTH?

Lighter than air and most of it in the Earth’s atmosphere bleeds off into space.

Helium is a by-product of radio active decay, and is associated with natural gas.
