Helium Scrubber
« on: April 12, 2010, 10:33:57 AM »
Hi, I want to remove Helium from a small gas sample, Is there a simple way to push the gas thru an absorber to remove the Helium?

Hello David,

An interesting question, as I haven't had to remove Helium before.

The only solution that immediately comes-to-mind is membrane technology. This is one of the methods to selectively concentrate Helium - but in reverse.

Best wishes,

Eugene
