Advanced CO2 Recovery Plants to gain high-purity CO2 for all industrial and food applications, individually adjusted to our customers’ requirements.
More Information
ASCO’s innovative ASCOSORB CO2 stack gas recovery technology turns your vent flue gas into a usable and profitable source of CO2. CO2 gas won by a CO2 Stack Gas Recovery System is a by-product of flue gas production from boilers as well as from other flue gas sources offering an economic CO2 source to any CO2 consumer or reseller.

CO2 purity grade possible
Gaseous CO2 can be liquefied under pressure provided its temperature is below
31 °C (87,8 °F), this temperature being referred to as the CRITICAL POINT. If compressed and
cooled below the critical point, a colourless fluid, approximately the same density as
water, is produced.
CO2 will remain in the liquid form as long as its temperature remains below the
critical point but will return to the gaseous state if its temperature rises above this
point, regardless of the pressure applied.
Liquid CO2 can be stored indefinitely at high pressure or Low pressure as follows:
High Pressure CO2
High pressure liquid CO2 is produced by compressing the gaseous CO2 in
multistage compressors to pressures in the neighbourhood of 69 bar (1000,76 psi) pressure,
then cooling it to around 18 °C (64,4 °F). It is customarily filled into specially
constructed steel cylinders. Like water, liquid CO2 can be weighed, and this is
the normal form of measuring it.
Low Pressure CO2
Low pressure liquid is an alternative method of storing CO2 and is produced
either by expanding high pressure CO2 to a lower pressure or by refrigeration. It
is held in specially constructed storage tanks, heavily insulated and equipped with
refrigeration units to hold the internal tank pressure at or below 21 bar (304,58 psi) and
-18 °C (-0.4 °F) temperature. Pressure switches are incorporated to control the
refrigeration units and safety mechanism and electrical alarms are fitted to release the
tank pressure and raise an alarm in the event of refrigeration malfunction.
Low pressure liquid CO2 (sometimes referred to as “bulk”) is transported to one
place from another in insulated road tankers or trailers (or, in some countries, by rail
tank wagons), the liquid being simply transferred from mobile to static tank by pumping or
gravity feed.
Unlike water, carbon dioxide cannot exist in the open air in liquid form. It must be held
under pressure or refrigeration (or a combination of both) to remain in the liquid state.
Dry Ice is the product of processing liquid CO2 . If the pressure of liquid
CO2 is suddenly released, a proportion of that liquid will change to the solid
state (becoming dry ice “snow”) and the remainder will revert to gas (revert gas). When the
snow is compressed under hydraulic or mechanical action, blocks or pellets of dry ice are
formed. The revert gas (gaseous CO2 ) can be readily reclaimed and converted back
to liquid by recompression and reliquefaction, thence returned to the dry ice block machine
or pelletizer for further processing.
The temperature of dry ice is -79 °C (110,2 °F) and in the atmoshere it will pass directly
from the solid to the gaseous stage, leaving no moisture or trace of its presence except the
cold.
