Hydrogen (H2)

Helium (He)

Helium (He) is a gas characterized by its colorless, odorless, non-toxic, non-corrosive, and non-combustible properties. Primarily extracted from natural gas wells, this precious gas is globally scarce, prompting the integration of recovery and recycling systems in various applications.

With the lowest boiling point of any gas (4.2 Kelvin or –269° Celsius), liquid helium is the coldest matter on Earth. This makes it ideal as a cryogenic agent for several cutting-edge medical and physics applications. For instance, it is used to cool superconductive magnetic coils in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) medical equipment.

Indeed, helium plays an essential role in numerous industries. Its applications include pressurizing rocket fuel, establishing inert atmospheres for welding, heat treatment, and epitaxial crystal growth, purging semiconductor atmospheres, calibrating analytical instruments, inflating airplane tires and airbags, testing for leaks, inflating large balloons for meteorological studies, and filling electronic tubes in neon signs.

Depending on your volume requirements, we can supply helium in special insulated ISO containers, tube trailers, dewars, multi-cylinder packs (MCPs), regular cylinders, or portable cylinders.

Hydrogen (H2)

Hydrogen (H2) is a gas without odor, color, or taste, generated through either natural gas steam reforming or water electrolysis. Being lighter than air, it produces a clean and invisible flame without carbon or soot. Notably, hydrogen is the sole fuel gas devoid of carbon atoms. It boasts the highest thermal conductivity among all gases. When combined with oxygen, the hydrogen flame achieves a temperature of 2834°C. It is often mixed with argon to create a range of argon/hydrogen shielding gases for TIG and plasma welding. These shielding gas mixtures are primarily used for welding austenitic stainless steels and some nickel alloys. Hydrogen can also be used with argon in a range of gas mixtures for plasma-cutting (stainless steel and aluminum mainly). Hydrogen extends its utility far beyond being a fuel gas, finding diverse applications in the manufacturing of carbon steels, special metals, and semiconductors. Within the electronics sector, it serves as a prevalent reducing agent and carrier gas. Additionally, high-purity hydrogen plays a crucial role as a carrier gas in gas chromatography. In addition, it can be combined with oxygen for underwater flame-cutting. Deeper cutting applications require higher fuel and oxygen pressures. Hydrogen is ideal here as it is supplied at higher pressures than other fuel gases. In the glass industry, hydrogen is used to form the rim on glasses.
