Renergen successfully producing liquid helium at Virginia project

ASX- and JSE-listed gas producer Renergen is now able to liquify helium in batches from its wells at the Virginia gas project, in South Africa’s Free State province. Since April 2, the original-equipment manufacturer (OEM) that supplied the equipment had brought the helium cold box to the appropriate temperature to liquify helium. A part of this process involved the purification of the helium to a level of 99.999% purity, which Renergen said had been validated by an independent third-party laboratory.
