The newly developed process changes project economics and helps our customers to generate additional value. GE and Siemens have joined forces to create high - quality products from natural gas in a process that recovers helium , liquid hydrocarbons and purified CO2 . They have combined Linde ’s HiSelect , powered by Evonik membranes , and Helium PSA unit with BASF ’s Durasorb hydrocarbon removal unit and OASE acid gas removal unit . Their process cuts out the need for cryogenic conditions , which are conventionally used to produce helium , making its production more profitable . The companies said the joint venture offers firms improved performance and increased value from gas treatment .
