EFC Gases & Advanced Materials awarded NASA contract for xenon gas reprocessing
EFC Gases & Advanced Materials, a recognized leader in high-purity rare gas technologies, has been awarded a 5-yr contract by the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to support the agency's xenon gas reprocessing needs.
The contract is valued at up to $5 MM over its term. Under this agreement, EFC will provide shipping, handling and high-precision processing of approximately 500,000 liters (l) of recovered xenon gas mixtures used in advanced space and propulsion research.
EFC's cryogenic distillation system for xenon/krypton separation, Hatfield, Pennsylvania (U.S.).
"Winning this contract is a testament to our team's technical excellence, reliability and commitment to advancing sustainable solutions in rare gas purification," said Pavel Perlov, CEO of EFC Gases & Advanced Materials. "We are honored to support NASA's mission and contribute to the reusability and cost-efficiency of critical noble gas resources."
The work will be supported by EFC's Rare Gas Center of Excellence™ —a specialized facility in Hatfield, Pennsylvania (U.S.), dedicated to the purification, recovery and recycling of xenon, krypton and other noble gases. This center brings together proprietary technologies and analytical capabilities to meet the stringent quality standards demanded by aerospace and semiconductor customers.
This award underscores EFC's position as a trusted partner to government and commercial aerospace programs and builds on its longstanding expertise in rare gas recovery and purification.
