Carbon Dioxide (CO₂)

Application expertise, supply security, and quality you can depend on

Carbon dioxide (CO₂) is used as a cryogenic agent to remove heat, economically and precisely controlling the temperature of both the product and process for food chilling, cooling, and freezing applications and to preserve quality and shelf life when used for Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP). CO₂ is also used to achieve consistent flavor, carbonation, and taste for alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverage production and to optimize productivity in bottling and canning dispensing lines. CO₂ can be an effective way to increase growth and reduce crop damage in greenhouses, and is a safer and economical alternative to acids and chemicals in water treatment applications for pulp & paper mills, industrial operations, and municipal water treatment facilities. CO₂ is also commonly used as a shielding gas for Welding and Metals applications.

CO₂ systems from Air Products will help you manage production when faced with peak demand, when flexibility is needed to adjust your operations to changing capacities or environmental requirements, and when consistency and quality is required to meet the standards of your customers.

Air Products' network of CO₂ plants and our distribution capabilities using both truck and rail, equip us with a secure supply chain and the ability to reliably produce and deliver product under a variety of quality standards.

Fire Suppression

When generating power with coal, natural gas, oil or renewable energy, carbon dioxide and nitrogen can reduce the risk of fires and extinguish them.

Fire Suppression for Cement and Lime

Nitrogen, an inert gas, can prevent fires or explosions at cement and lime plants by displacing oxygen in fuel storage tanks, conveyors, and shredders.

Greenhouse CO₂ Enrichment

Ensure the CO₂ level in your greenhouse is optimal for plant growth

Growth Control in Microbial Cultures

We offer a wide range of gases and gas mixtures for growth control of micro-organisms in cultures

Hardening or ​Crust Freezing

Freezing a fine outer layer of your product for optimised or accelerated further processing. Crust frozen products can be considered fresh once thawed.

Inerting and Blanketing

Inerting and blanketing can be used to store flammable and quality sensitive materials for improved safety.

Inerting and Blanketing in Rubber and Plastic Manufacturing

Use nitrogen to improve efficiency and safety in many processes for the manufacture of rubber and plastics

Inerting, Sparging, Pressurizing and Purging

Prevent unwanted reactions and improve your operations by displacing undesired moisture or oxygen with our inert food grade gases

Injection or Blow Molding

Gas Assist Injection Molding is a process that utilizes an inert gas (normally nitrogen) to create one or more hollow channels within an injection-molded plastic part.

Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP)

Effectively and naturally extend the shelf life of your packaged food products

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Spectroscopy Cooling

Cryogenic liquid helium and liquid nitrogen as coolants
