Avoiding emissions with helium recycling
Titanium. Even in low concentrations, it gives steel high strength, toughness, ductility and malleability. Titanium alloys are particularly important in the aerospace industry; its low weight makes titanium indispensable for parts subject to extreme stress.
Titanium is produced in arc furnaces, specifically by means of plasma arc melting (PAM). A gas such as argon or helium is indispensable for this melting process in an inert gas atmosphere. Helium is a gas that is both rare and non-renewable. This means that the contaminated gas is not only a problem for the environment. Fluctuating availability is the next challenge. This is how you can remedy the situation:
With ReiCat’s special helium recycling system, gas consumption can be reduced by up to 98%. You can achieve a gas quality of up to 6.0 (99.9999%) even with originally lower values, all during operation. A wide range of impurities, dust and moisture are removed. And yes: zero CO2 emissions are achieved. All this with very good amortization times.
