CO₂ solutions for the food and drink industry
Efficient Use of CO₂ for Production, Storage and Process Optimisation.
In the food and beverage industry, CO₂ is a key component of many production processes – from alcoholic fermentation and fermentation to pasteurisation and drying. ASCO offers a comprehensive portfolio: recovery systems for by-products and flue gas, safe storage and efficient evaporator solutions. In this way, we help companies to reduce costs, ensure security of supply and implement sustainable production processes.
CO₂ Recovery from By-Products
In food and beverage production, CO₂-containing by-products are generated primarily during alcoholic fermentation – whether in breweries, distilleries or wineries. Fermentation processes in the production of yeast or other foods also generate CO₂, as do natural biochemical metabolic processes in production. These sources provide high-purity CO₂ that is suitable for direct reuse within the facility or for external use. By recovering by-products, raw material losses can be avoided, environmental impact reduced and the sustainability of production enhanced.
CO₂ Recovery from Stack Gas
In addition to by-products, CO₂ streams also arise in the form of stack gases generated by industrial steam generators, heat supply systems for pasteurisation or drying, and combustion processes in production facilities. With high-performance absorption systems, these CO₂ streams can be efficiently captured and processed. This not only improves the emissions balance but also recovers valuable CO₂, which can be integrated back into the production process or sold.
Comprehensive CO₂ Solutions for the Industry
ASCO not only supports food and beverage producers in CO₂ recovery but also offers complete solutions for storage and vaporisation. From secure CO₂ storage tanks and demand-driven vaporisation to CO₂ filling systems for gas cylinders – everything from a single source. Thanks to this comprehensive support, companies benefit from maximum process reliability, minimal maintenance requirements and efficient use of resources.
Advantages of CO₂ Recovery
- Cost savings: Reduced CO₂ purchases through recovery sustainably lower operating costs.
- Security of supply: Having your own CO₂ supply makes you independent of supply bottlenecks and market fluctuations.
- Sustainability: Reducing CO₂ emissions supports ESG targets and corporate climate strategies.
- Process reliability: Stable CO₂ availability ensures smooth production processes.
- System integration: Easy integration into existing production and filling processes.
- Rapid payback: The investment pays for itself quickly, particularly with continuous or high-volume use.
