An ASCO CO2 hybrid production plant has assisted with an unbroken supply chain

With the purchase of a new ASCO CO₂ hybrid production plant, one of the most popular food and beverage manufacturers in South Asia, based in Bangladesh, has made a future-proofing investment.

An unbroken CO₂ supply cannot always be guaranteed, especially in third world and emerging markets. To avoid costly production downtimes and to control its competitiveness, the Bengal company decided to invest in its own CO₂ on site production with the acquisition of an ASCO CO₂ system.

Thanks to this investment, 1,000kg (approx. one tonne) of liquid CO₂ per hour will soon be produced on the company´s premises. The self-produced CO₂ will provide a purity of up to 99.998%. This final liquid purity lies even above the required ISBT quality guidelines and therefore completely corresponds with the requirements of food and beverage standards worldwide.

The fully automatic ASCO CO₂ system is based on latest technology and contains a low concentrated amine solution to extract high-quality, gaseous CO₂ out of generated stack gas resulting from burning fossil fuels. Additionally a special feature of this construction: The customer-specific hybrid plant has also the capability to recover CO₂ from an existing flue gas stream which is already produced during the food and beverage production. All processes happen in the most efficient way and at significantly lower production costs. Thanks to this CO₂ stack gas recovery, the company adds less CO₂ into the atmosphere, which reduces the ecological footprint and contributes to the companies goals towards environmental sustainability.
