Helium recycling project sets a new standard for sustainability
Helium, the ultra-light gas found in airships and birthday balloons, has a quirk that makes it invaluable for science and medicine. With a freezing point of -458°F (-272.2°C), it is only a liquid at all but the coldest of temperatures, making it an ideal substance for supercooling the electronics and magnets that run biomedical equipment.

New Liquid Helium Recycling System Offers Sustainable Research
The helium that boils off from the ten superconducting magnets is captured and piped to a collection bag, and is then compressed into cylinders, purified to a level of 99.999%, and then re-liquified. That liquid helium can then be put back into the magnets. The helium recovery system has been in operation since September 2021.
