Desert Mountain Energy’s contractor GENERON has completed its work on the McCauley Helium Processing Facility in British Columbia, with the initial sale going to an Arizona-based industrial gas supplier, according to a news release.
DME expects to work through various combinations of gas mixtures, concentrations and final product purity levels over a 90-day period. The industrial gas purchaser understands that the first deliveries will be a mixture of different final grades of helium ranging from a low of 99.995% to a high of 99.99995%.
“Our team understands that our shareholders have waited a long time for the completion of the McCauley Helium Processing Facility,” Robert Rohlfing, CEO of DME, said in the release. “Initiating helium sales as a vertically integrated primary producer of helium has been our long-term goal and we are proud to have accomplished it.”
Initial runs for plant configurations are important with respect to future final design and sizing, the release states. DME has proven its design works in assorted applications and gas fields.
