Helium is a unique gas product in that it is a limited natural resource mined out of deep gaseous deposits under the surface of the earth. Because of this, customers who use helium require a reliable partner who can deliver a consistent supply. Noble can supply helium in various cylinder sizes for a variety of uses.
Helium is widely used in industrial applications including welding, heat-treating, metals refining, and processes requiring inert-gas plasma, as well as making use of its lighter-than-air characterisitics for lifting applications from party balloons to sophisticated aerostats such as weather balloons.
Propane
LP GAS FUELS PRODUCTIVITY

We have LP-fill capability at both our Noble Stores, and can fill customer-owned cylinders or provide rental cylinders in various sizes as your demands dictate. We can also arrange for drop-ship installations and bulk delivery of product where necessary.
In addition, we can also supply regulators, heating equipment, piping and fittings.

We make it easy to come in and pick-up a cylinder for your next event, family gathering, or home project. Noble fills consumer gases in-house, making it cost-effective and reliable.
Noble Gas offers a vast range of sizes for CO2 cylinders, available for rent or purchase. We pump and package our CO2 gas in-house, which allows us to reduce our cost, passing along those saving to our customers! All of the CO2 pumped at Noble Gas is Food & Beverage grade by FDA guidelines. There are many uses for CO2 gas for commercial and general public use. The more common applications involving CO2 include the following:
- Brewing: Compressed CO2 is an instrumental aspect in brewing your own beer or cider. CO2 is commonly used to force the carbonation of beer, allowing it to fully ferment. When adding pressure, the carbon dioxide tries escaping in the form of rising bubbles, or carbonation, giving the drink its “fizz.” Pressure is added by capping a bottle, packaging a can, or the pumping of beer out of a keg with taps and couplers.
- Planted Aquariums: Many vibrant and colorful aquarium plants require CO2 injection into their environment in order to thrive. The CO2 in a typical, low-tech aquarium does not produce enough CO2 to support this aquarium life. Gas diffusion in water is drastically slower than in air, making CO2 injections vital for consistent plant growth and maintenance in a planted aquarium.
Don’t have your own CO2 tank — no problem! Noble Gas Solutions has a wide variety of tank sizes to choose from, as your usage and application dictates. We provide cylinders available for rent, lease, or purchase. If you do have your own tank, we can fill yours at our Albany store, or swap out your tank for a new one at any location. Additionally, we can supply regulators and equipment for your CO2 needs, as well as technical expertise and advice along the way.

Noble supplies propane in various different sizes based on the demand of your application. Propane is a commonly used fuel gas for both commercial use and the general public. Propane is a reliable energy and heat source. For this reason it is often used in industrial applications such as construction sites, welding and fabricating, and warehousing. You can find more information about industrial applications of this fuel gas on our Industrial Gas page. Additional uses for propane in households for propane include the following:
- Pool Heaters
- Barbecue/Grill
- Home Appliances
