Liquid Carbon Dioxide
Liquid carbon dioxide is recovered from a variety of sources sources such as ammonia and hydrogen plants, purified and liquefied.
It is delivered to our customers in liquid form, into onsite storage, for use in high-volume customer applications.
Carbon dioxide is stored as a liquid in a specialised vessels which can provide several days' supply and be used on demand as either a liquid or gas.

Applications and use
Carbon dioxide’s properties give it a key role across many industries such as:
| Food and Beverages | For chilling and freezing, for carbonation and dispensing of beverages, for food extraction, for Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) and dry ice for in-transit refrigeration. |
|---|---|
| Chemicals | As a replacement for CFC’s in foamed plastics production. |
| Electronics | Use of snow cleaning for devices. |
| Agriculture | To boost production in greenhouses and pest control in grain silos. |
| Healthcare | To treat respiratory disorders and for surgical dilation. |
| Environment, water and waste | For drinking water treatment and waste water pH control. |
