40’ T75 for Carriage of Liquid Helium

Socomat is a specialist worldwide cryogenic tank leasing company, also offers helium tank leasing.

Apart from balloons for the hospitality and aviation sectors, helium is used in the engineering and oilfield industries for leak detection and by hospitals and medical facilities in NMR and MRI scanners to ensure that the “super magnets” are kept sufficiently cold to work properly.

Helium as the 2nd lightest gas after hydrogen, is non-flammable and possesses unexpected properties when chilled to a liquid at -268.9 degC. It is then most efficient to transport it in a cryogenic tank-container. However, this cryogenic liquid will gain heat quickly when compared to say cryogenic liquid oxygen (LOX) or cryogenic liquid argon (LAR).

If the helium is allowed to become gaseous once more, the pressure inside the tank will increase, such that it will vent into the atmosphere and your very valuable cargo will have been lost.

Socomat offers first class, professional technical support and back-up as well as helping you, the client, through all the initial technical aspects and will work with you to create lease terms to satisfy all.

If your offtake requirement does not warrant a full 40’ tank-load, then GML’s 250 or 400 litre dewars may be just what you need.
