Helium recovery system for industrial applications
As helium costs rise and supply dwindles, efficiently recovering and purifying this valuable gas is crucial. This system ensures optimal helium recovery, maintaining high purity levels and reducing operational costs in various industrial and laboratory applications.

Recovers and Purifies Industrial Helium Gas
The Helium Recovery System from Telstar is designed to address the rising helium costs and supply constraints by efficiently recovering and purifying helium gas across various industrial and laboratory applications. It integrates a helium compressor with optional flexible or rigid storage volumes and a high-pressure compression system. Notably, it features an online helium concentration meter to monitor gas purity and an optional dryer to eliminate moisture. This system boasts a greater than 95% recovery rate, making it ideal for operations requiring high-quality helium, including semiconductor manufacturing and MRI machine coolant replenishment. Additionally, it offers an intermediate solution, the Helium Economizer, for applications where a full recuperator isn’t justified, allowing recovery of up to 70% helium without requiring a compressor. The system is automation-ready with PLC control and remote connection capabilities, ensuring seamless integration into existing vacuum and processing setups. It meets the demands of the pharmaceutical, biotech, semiconductor, and aerospace industries, emphasizing sustainability and cost-effectiveness while adhering to industry standards.
