Brock Chemistry investment in sustainability pays off these days
A global helium shortage caused by the war in the Middle East could threaten Canadian research because universities and research institutions rely on the gas, but it can’t get through the Strait of Hormuz. This is not the first time a helium shortage happened. Back in 2022 we came very close to losing one of our magnets. That is why Brock Chemistry decided to invest in a Helium Recovery System. The system recovers all the helium boil-off from the magnets where it gets stored under pressure then reliquefied and ready to top up the magnets. On January 2024 our system came online and we never looked back. After more than two years we have recovered more than 90% of our helium and in this time of crisis and skyrocketing helium prices we are enjoying our greatly reduced reliance on liquid helium. The future looks bright at Brock.
