Helium Production From Canadian Gas Findings
Prof J C McLennan of the University of Toronto reports helium in Canadian natural gas rising from 0.15 to 0.33 percent in Ontario as westward exploration continues. He estimates a 2,000,000 cubic feet per year supply, with Alberta Bow Island field at 0.36 percent. A Calgary plant could yield 10.5 million cubic feet yearly at 97 percent purity, cost about 759000 dollars. Helium’s low temp liquefaction reaches 271 272 C below zero and could enable new science and airship uses during war.
