CRYOTEC CO₂ recovery plants

are primarily in use in  the recovery of CO₂ from fermentation processes in breweries or distillation plants and from natural sources.

The silent helping hand in many fields.

Welding and inert gases

The use of carbon dioxide in welding technology is widespread. Here even CO2 mixed gases are becoming ever more important. Apart from the scrubbing of carbon dioxide and liquefying plants, gas mixing systems and filling plants are also included in our supplies.

Beverage industry

When using carbon dioxide in the food industry, quality and safety are of first priority. This means the provision of odourless and tasteless CO₂ of high purity. By the use of proven CRYOTEC system components the best quality is ensured. The chemical analysis implemented by CRYOTEC ensures that the CO₂ quality is subject to ongoing monitoring and documentation.
 
In the German breweries industry about 400 000 t CO₂ of a high level of purity are produced annually in the course of fermentation. To be able to achieve a beer shelf life of at least six months, from maturing up to filling the beer work should be carried out under conditions which are as oxygen-free as possible. The use of CO₂ as inert gas is an essential measure taken to reduce the contact of beer with the air and thus to minimise oxygen absorption of the beer.

Pharmaceuticals and medicine

Particular quality requirements apply for the implementation of carbon dioxide in the clinical field. For this case our systems are fitted with special sensor and monitoring technology.

Industrial applications

Carbon dioxide is also gaining importance in waste water and drinking water technology. Furthermore, the gas is applied as coolant and extractant, e.g. for the extraction of volatile oils.

Dry ice

Systems to produce dry ice from carbon dioxide are also included in the range of supplies. Dry ice in the shape of blocks, pellets respectively, is used for cooling. CO₂ pellets are gaining importance as residue-free blasting medium for the most differing industrial cleaning processes.

Fire extinguisher technology

Carbon dioxide is an important element of modern extinguishers. Carbon dioxide has particularly asserted itself in the field of fire fighting in electric control centres.
