Yes, helium typically needs to be processed before it can be used. Natural gas deposits contain helium, but it must be separated from other gases through methods such as cryogenic distillation or adsorption. This processing ensures that the helium is of high purity and suitable for various applications, including medical, scientific, and industrial uses.

How do you produce helium?

Helium is produced through the extraction of natural gas, which contains small amounts of helium. The gas is processed to separate and purify the helium, making it suitable for various industrial and scientific applications.


How is helium extracted from its natural source?

Helium is trapped in underground gas reservoirs in varying concentrations along with other naturally occurring gases. Most helium is extracted as a byproduct of Natural gas (Methane) processing. When raw natural gas is processed, saleable byproducts and low BTU impurities are processed out leaving high BTU gas for sale to market. These byproducts and impurities may be vented, flared, re-injected into the gas well, or processed into other saleable products. If helium exists in economic quantities, it will processed in the latter category into crude helium. If not, it is vented with other waste streams. Crude helium is refined into pure helium through cryogenic or PSA purification units. If large enough quantities are available, pure helium gas is liquefied into large 11,000 gallon containers for shipment worldwide.
