Nested Applications

Helium – high-purity noble gas for industry, research, and technology

Helium is the second most abundant element in the universe after hydrogen and is one of the most valuable technical gases. With its outstanding physical properties – including high inertness, low density, exceptional thermal conductivity, high diffusion rate, and an extremely low boiling point – helium is versatile and indispensable in numerous high-tech industries.

Industrial extraction of helium

The atmospheric concentration of helium on Earth is only about 5 ppm – too low for economical extraction from the air. Therefore, industrial helium extraction is primarily carried out from natural gas deposits that naturally contain high concentrations of helium. Messer uses these resources in combination with decades of experience to provide consistently high-quality helium products for a wide range of applications.
