BOC Helium Plant Celebrates 40th Anniversary; World's First Plant to Produce Bulk Quantities of Liquid
Helium
Murray
Hill, N.J., Oct. 12: In 1965, helium party balloons were only available to the rich and famous, and a technology known as magnetic resonance imaging
(MRI), which requires liquid helium to be able to take pictures inside our bodies, was still just a theory in scientists' minds. In October of that year, a plant capable of producing liquid helium in larger quantities than ever before, came online in Otis, Kansas, and helped support a cultural and scientific revolution.
BOC will be commemorating the 40th anniversary of its Otis plant this month by hosting a series of events for employees and invited guests.
