Advanced materials company ASP Isotopes has informed shareholders that Tetra4, a subsidiary of ASP’s subsidiary Renergen, has completed commissioning and achieved stable production of liquid helium at the Virginia gas project, in South Africa.

Liquid helium is now accumulating in Tetra4’s cryogenic storage ahead of initial deliveries under existing offtake agreements.

The Virginia gas project holds South Africa’s first onshore petroleum production right and is the country’s first integrated producer of both liquid helium and liquefied natural gas (LNG).

“Stable helium production at the Virginia project is a defining milestone for Renergen and for ASP Isotopes.

“With global helium supply under significant pressure, a new, independent source matters more than ever, and our offtake partners have been waiting for exactly this,” ASP Isotopes CEO and executive chairperson and Renergen CEO Paul Mann says.

“We are now ramping towards nameplate capacity, which we expect to reach during the fourth quarter, and we are finalising logistics with our offtakers for first deliveries,” he adds.

Phase 1 is expected to produce about 2 500 GJ/d of LNG and about 70-million cubic feet a day of liquid helium.
