Swiss-headquartered carbon dioxide (CO2) and dry ice solutions company ASCO Carbon Dioxide (ASCO) will expand distribution of its CO2 recovery technology in the US market as part of its international expansion strategy.
The move builds on the existing presence of its North American subsidiary in Florida and reflects growing demand for CO2 recovery and utilisation systems in industrial applications across North America.
The headquarters of its North American subsidiary, ASCO Carbon Dioxide, in Orange Park, Jacksonville, Florida, will serve as the distribution hub for its stack gas recovery plants (SGR), by-product recovery plants (BPR), and recovery systems for dry ice production (RRSi).
The Orange Park site, established in 2016, currently distributes ASCO’s dry ice technology and CO2 equipment to support industrial sectors across North America.
The addition of CO2 recovery solutions represents an expansion of the company’s existing portfolio into recovery and reuse systems, aligned with demand for CO2 management technologies and regional supply chain requirements.
Ralph Spring, CEO of ASCO, said the company will leverage Orange Park’s market proximity to boost the sustainable use of CO2 in the North American market.
ASCO’s support the recovery, purification, and reuse of CO2 from industrial processes, increasing efficiency and supporting sustainability efforts.
Its SGR plants turn vent flue gas into a usable source of CO2, and its BPR technology turns the vented by-product gas into profitable CO2, used in alcohol fermentation, ammonia production, and hydrogen reforming.
The company’s RRSi is designed to recover the CO2 gas returning from dry ice pelletizers and reintroduce it into the dry ice production process. This process results in a CO2 conversion rate of 90-95%.
