Helium recycling: efficient
helium recovery for the industry
Our innovative He recycling systems reduce your gas consumption by up to 98 %.
Codes & standards
Persistent bottlenecks in the global helium supply pose challenges for the industry. The perfect way to counter the helium shortage is a ReiCat helium recycling system.
Our recycling systems can make helium, which is often heavily contaminated in the process, usable again and purify it to a quality of 5.0 / > 99.999 % or even 6.0 / > 99.9999 %.
ReiCat’s helium recycling systems utilize various proprietary process engineering technologies and mechanical processes to recover up to 98 % of the helium. As a result, the systems pay for themselves quickly, and you drastically reduce the CO₂ footprint of your production process.
Benefit from a significant reduction in your gas consumption and make yourself independent of fluctuating helium prices on the market.
Our recycling systems are designed for seamless integration into your existing setup, offering a high degree of flexibility. Whether you operate continuous or discontinuous systems (batch operation), the principle of gas recovery can be applied. Plus, our systems can handle up to 10,000 Nm³/h of helium, ensuring they can meet your production needs.
As one of the leading suppliers in the field of gas treatment, we can refer to many references.
We will happily provide you with a list of selected references upon request.

We manufacture our systems as skids in collaboration with a broad network of certified and highly specialized suppliers and partners. The most crucial aspect for ReiCat: Quality control!
Quality control is continuously performed during skid manufacturing and between the individual disciplines. ReiCat always carries out both the quality control and the final leak and functional tests.
We support our customers on-site during the commissioning of our systems. This includes supervising the installation of the systems, filling the tanks, performing final mechanical work, and starting up the system.
The skid construction enables quick and safe commissioning.
Our systems stand for durability. We offer maintenance services to ensure this and supply spare parts, wear parts, and consumables.
We use redundant online gas analysis equipment in our helium recycling plants to ensure the desired gas quality.
Helium recycling is a complex process consisting of a combination of up to seven different methods. Depending on customer specifications, ReiCat Catalyst Technology, TSA drying, filtration, cryogenic adsorption, and other mechanical and chemical processes are used. We often use gas-gas heat exchangers, as catalytic purification requires high temperatures. The gas-gas heat exchangers reduce energy costs through heat recovery (recuperation).
The process metallurgy industry is struggling with ongoing bottlenecks in the global helium supply. Helium recycling makes it possible to counter the helium shortage and become independent of the market. Through recycling, gas consumption can be reduced by up to 98 %. As a result, our helium recycling systems pay for themselves after just three months in some cases. Operating costs can be significantly reduced in the long term.
In addition, recovering helium can minimize the CO2 footprint, as the extraction of helium from natural gas is very energy-intensive, and the transportation of helium also leads to emissions.
ReiCat recycling plants operate fully automatically. Due to their low dust production, they are also low-maintenance. Redundancies ensure a continuous gas supply and optional remote data monitoring ensures maximum availability.
