Liquid CO2 & Gaseous CO2

SUPPLY MODES

• BULK
• CYLINDERS

Bulk Supply

Customers can take the advantage of using this mode of supply because:

• It is the most cost effective supply mode.
• Safer when compared to high pressure cylinders
• Reduce handling of cylinders at their facility
• Reduce wastage of residual gas in cylinders which cannot be utilized by customer or the supplier.

CYLINDERS

Customers can take the advantage of using this mode of supply because:

• Consumption of CO2 is substantially less.
• Consumption points at the facility are erratic.
• Minor investment of the Manifold system at the customer facility.

GRADES OF CO2

USES

• Metal Industry: extensively used in the hardening of molding mixture of sand and liquid silicate binder, leading to reduction in production throughput and realization of cost savings through decreased fuel consumption.
• Manufacturing: used in the process of Metal Inert Gas (MIG) or Metal Active Gas (MAG) welding, to shield the weld surface to prevent the exposure of atmospheric gases such as Oxygen and Nitrogen. The inertness of Carbon dioxide helps in preventing porosity and eliminating substantial defects in the weld.
• Chemical and Pharmaceutical Applications: used for the preparation of urea, methanol, inorganic / organic carbonates, polyurethanes and sodium salicylate. Carbon Dioxide is combined with epoxides to create plastics and polymers.
• Water Treatment: used in the purification of drinking water by acting as a neutralizing agent to treat alkaline water. It is also used in the treatment of water in the swimming pools. Carbon dioxide proves to be an effective alternative to mineral acids due to its ease of use, operational safety and in ensuring an ecologically safe environment.
• Fire Protection and Firefighting: owing to its heavier density compared to air, is typically used in fire-extinguishers while blanketing a fire. Extinguishers typically contain pressurized liquid Carbon Dioxide which is used to put out low flammable liquid and electric fires.
• Beverage Industry: the key ingredient in the carbonation of fizzing beverages such as soft drinks, beer and soda water etc.
• Pest Control: due to its property of not leaving any harmful residues, is extensively used in controlling atmosphere systems in silos and fumigation of aircraft.
• Oil Industry: used in enhanced oil recovery (EOR). EOR is a class of techniques for increasing the quantity of extracted crude oil from oil fields. Carbon dioxide is injected under high pressure into an oil reservoir, which pushes the oil through pipes, up to the surface of the ground. Carbon dioxide gas injections enhances oil recovery and reduces the viscosity of recovered oil.
