Wayne State University received a $219,353 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Chemistry to implement a closed helium recovery system for shared research nuclear magnetic resonance and mass spectrometry instruments. The system will capture helium from superconducting magnets associated with NMR and FT-ICR MS instruments in the Chemistry Department facility, temporarily store the collected gas in medium-pressure tanks, liquify it at a centralized station, and...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Office of Integrative Activities awarded a $287,576 Project Grant to the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) to acquire a helium recovery system for its magnetic resonance research facilities. The award will enable UCSB to mitigate the impacts of the global helium supply crisis on their state-of-the-art materials characterization capabilities, which support over 50 research groups across disciplines like chemistry, physics, materials science,...
This $320,810 National Science Foundation project grant supports the acquisition of a helium recovery and liquefaction system by Indiana University Bloomington. Funded under the NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), the system will capture helium gas evaporating from eight nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometers in the university's NMR facility. By recycling this helium into liquid form for reuse, the facility expects to substantially reduce its annual purchases of...
The National Science Foundation (NSF), through its Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083), awarded a $271,925 Project Grant to Montana State University (MSU) to acquire a helium recovery system for their NMR core facility. This system will reduce MSU's consumption of liquid helium, which is required to operate the state-of-the-art NMR spectrometers. The helium recovery system will lower the facility's operational costs and carbon footprint, making the NMR core's activities more sustainable...
This $431,976 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) provides funding to the University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin) to acquire helium recovery equipment for quantum materials research and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) facilities. The award aims to establish a helium recycling system that recaptures exhaust helium gas from low-temperature instruments and recondenses it on-site. This system will enable the continuation of...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Office of Integrative Activities awarded a $500,408 Project Grant to Oregon State University (OSU) to acquire and install an integrated helium capture and recovery system for the university's Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) facility. This system will enable the recycling of at least 90% of the over 1,000 liters of liquid helium used annually by the facility's five NMR spectrometers, including Oregon's two highest field NMR instruments. The project...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemistry awarded a $322,980 Project Grant to the University of Toledo for the "MRI: TRACK 3 ACQUISITION OF HELIUM RECOVERY EQUIPMENT TO ESTABLISH A SUSTAINABLE NMR FACILITY". This grant, which runs from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2026, is funded under the NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program. The grant supports the University of Toledo's acquisition of a helium recovery system to capture and reLiquefy...
This $250,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) under CFDA 93.859 Biomedical Research and Research Training Program will fund the acquisition of a liquid helium recycling system for the College of Staten Island (CSI). The system will consist of a liquefier, purifier, and recovery/storage equipment to reduce CSI's annual liquid helium usage by 80-90% for their nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) research...
This $190,000 National Science Foundation project grant, funded under the Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083), supports the acquisition and implementation of a helium recovery system at the University of Kansas. Dr. Justin Douglas and the University of Kansas Center for Research Inc. will install manifolds to collect helium exhaust from nine scientific instruments across four buildings without disrupting operations. The collected gas will be compressed into high-pressure cylinders for...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $399,999 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program to the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. This grant supports the development and improvement of helium liquefaction equipment and recovery systems at the university's Central Helium Liquefier and Recovery Facility (CHLRF). The project aims to increase the campus-wide helium recovery efficiency from the current ~74% to 85-90%, providing a stable and...
