Meras Annos (AMA) is at the forefront of stable isotope production, utilising innovative cryogenic distillation technology. This advanced method employs distillation columns over 300 meters tall, specifically designed to separate and purify various chemical species. This technique makes it possible to produce high-purity isotopes in significantly more significant quantities than conventional technologies.

A key element of the process is integrating a heat recovery system, which enhances energy efficiency and reduces operating costs. This position positions the company as an innovative and sustainable leader in producing stable isotopes.

The production facility will be strategically located at the Seruci mine in southwest Sardinia, taking advantage of the site’s unique infrastructure and logistical benefits.

This initiative is a spin-off of the Aria Project (https://wpress.ca.infn.it/?page_id=590), which is funded with public money and is creating the world’s tallest cryogenic distillation column (350 meters). The primary goal of the Aria Project is to produce ultra-pure argon for the DarkSide-20k dark matter experiment at the Gran Sasso National Laboratories in Italy (https://surfacetreatments.infn.it/projects/darkside-20k-project/).

Building on the same technology and strengthened by the experience gained from the Aria project, the Seruci II project is a natural continuation of research activity aimed at expanding the range of products and possible applications offered in the global stable isotope market.

This initiative combines cutting-edge technology, sustainability, and large-scale capability to set a new global standard for producing stable isotopes.
