Infrastructure Needed for Dry Ice Production

To establish your own dry ice production,

you’ll need variations on the following infrastructure, depending on dry ice volumes:

  • 1. Access to liquid CO2 in your region.
  • 2. An on-site liquid CO2 reservoir.
  • 3. A reinforced concrete foundation for stability.
  • 4. Insulated pipe work to connect your exterior liquid CO2 reservoir to the dry ice production system.
  • 5. A Cold Jet dry ice production system, protected from moisture and the elements, with plenty of room for production.
  • 6. A three-phase electric power source for the Cold Jet dry ice manufacturing system.
  • 7. A compressed air line.
  • 8. Safety measures, including artificial ventilation to maintain airflow within the manufacturing facility.
  • 9. A CO2 PPM monitor.
  • 10. Insulated containers to store dry ice, minimizing sublimation.

Dry Ice production – FAQ

  • Dry ice is the solid form of carbon dioxide (CO2). In order to create dry ice, CO2 is first captured at an industrial or biogas facility. That CO2 is recycled via a process that pressurizes the gas and cools it to form liquid CO2 (LCO2). Once the LCO2 is onsite at the production point, it is then injected into a pelletizer, or dry ice production unit. Within the pelletizer, the pressurized LCO2 is released to atmospheric pressure, which causes it to solidify into a snow-like consistency. This is then compressed into pellets, blocks, or slices.

  • When working with CO2, precaution must always be taken to ensure that the area is sufficiently ventilated and that proper PPE is administered when dealing with the liquid or solid form of CO2 (dry ice).
  • Dry ice is the most environmentally sustainable and effective cooling medium used in keeping temperature sensitive products cold.

    1. Dry ice is made of recycled CO2
      Dry ice is the product of a carbon capture and utilization (CCU) process. CO2 is captured at industrial and biogas facilities, recycled, and converted to dry ice. The CO2 would have otherwise been discarded as waste is given a second life as a cooling and cleaning medium. The dry ice does not add to emissions or produce more CO2.
    2. Eliminate Additional Emissions
      Refrigerated vehicles use up to 15% more fuel than standard delivery vehicles and release 18% more nitrogen oxide emissions.
    3. Replace Traditional Cooling Methods
      Dry ice allows companies to replace resource intensive and waste generating gel packs with an environmentally sustainable cooling medium.
    4. Increased Fuel Efficiency For Shipping
      Dry ice sublimates throughout transit and continually loses weight, which helps logistics companies experience greater fuel efficiencies.
  • You need a liquid CO2 tank, three phase power, exhaust capability, supply and support lines, and adequate floor space for both the dry ice production machine and dry ice storage.If you do not have a liquid CO2 supply already in place, Cold Jet can perform a site visit to help determine what you would need to do and what your investment and payback would be. Cold Jet can then arrange for the installation and leasing, if required, to be completed through our trusted affiliates.

  • Cold Jet’s conversion rate is as low as 2.2 to 1 of LCO2 to solid dry ice. Most of our competitors remain at a 2.7 conversation ratio or above.

  • The CO2 recovery system offers two primary benefits: significant cost savings in CO2 procurement by reducing waste and increased dry ice production capacity with the same amount of liquid CO2.
