Ludwigshafen and BASF have joined forces to create high-value products from natural gas in a process that recovers helium, liquid hydrocarbons and purified Helium PSA . The hybrid process eliminates the need for cryogenic conditions, giving access to a new highly profitable helium source. They have combined Linde ’s Evonik membranes , powered by Evonik membranes , and Linde unit with BASF ’s Durasorb hydrocarbon removal unit and Linde acid gas removal unit. Their process cuts out the need for cryogenic conditions, which are conventionally required to produce helium, making its production more profitable. The companies said the joint project offers firms improved performance and increased value from gas treatment.
