The Problem
Every gram of neon, krypton and xenon is a by-product.
Chips, satellites, lasers and medical imaging depend on them. None has a dedicated source.
Today, they are recovered at a small number of large air separation units built to serve bulk oxygen and nitrogen demand. Only around 100 of more than 3,000 units worldwide recover them.
So supply follows steel and oxygen. Not the industries that need the gases.
The Approach
Atmospheric Processing
The direct, demand-led extraction of rare and valuable atmospheric resources from ambient air via plasma-based electromagnetic separation. Target species are selected by mass, not harvested as by-products.
The Machine
UAP's Atmospheric Processor®
Concept render
A modular tower designed to draw in ambient air, ionise it, and use electromagnetic fields to separate gases by mass. Neon, krypton and xenon are captured in stages. No cryogenic distillation. No host oxygen plant.
Demand-led
Dedicated capacity that follows noble-gas demand, not oxygen demand.
Site-flexible
Designed to be sited around electricity and customers.
Modular
Scale comes from geometry and repeated capture stages. Not new process physics.

We don't compete with the industrial gas majors. We're building to supply them.
If you buy, use or invest in noble gases, one short message is enough.
