LIFTING GAS

Being the second lightest element after Hydrogen, Helium is used as a lifting gas for ballons, meteorological balloons, airships and blimps. As Helium is non-flammable, it remains the safer alternative to Hydrogen.

VI NA Industrial Gas Company is proud to be the supplier and organizer of Helium gas pumping services for Hon Tam Hot Air Balloon in Nha Trang City. This is the first hot air balloon using Helium gas in Vietnam. The hot air balloon was ordered from France for 1.2 million euros. With a diameter of 22 m, the hot air balloon is surrounded by 46 special plastic panels that are fireproof and resistant to strong pressure. Inside the balloon there are 2 parts of gas: helium and natural gas. The balloon is connected by 48 small anchor ropes and 8 large anchor ropes from 150 m to 300 m long. The passenger compartment is made of steel and can accommodate 25 to 30 people at a time, flying to a height of 150m. For a hot air balloon to fly, the amount of Helium needed to fill the hot air balloon is 6,500 m3. VI NA Industrial Gas Company is the unit that has organized the import and implementation of filling and top up service (Refilling & Top up service) of Helium gas in large quantities for hot air balloons.
