DRY ICE
Dry Ice
Dry ice, or more precisely CO₂ in a solid aggregate state, is obtained during the expansion of liquid carbon dioxide in the environment, at atmospheric pressure. For the duration of that process, half of the liquid CO₂ turns into gas, while the other half turns into so-called snow. This snow is compressed by a high-pressure hydraulic press to create ice.
Industrial cleaning
An additional advantage is the industrial cleaning of surfaces with Dry Ice sandblasting. In which it is possible to clean several objects without the need for separation and disassembly. It can be used to clean mechanical and electrical parts without the risk of damaging the surface or causing a fire. It is also used to remove a variety of pollutants such as: oils, biofilms, paints and other agents.
Food production
Dry ice is a natural mineral product, which is odorless, tasteless, non-flammable, and ideal for use in the food industry.
Transportation
Dry ice has a very low temperature: from – 78.5 °C and thus has up to three times more cooling power than ordinary water ice. Dry ice also creates a bacteriostatic environment, which ensures a higher quality of chilled products, and protects them from oxidation. This characteristic of dry ice allows it to find wide application in the transportation of food and various other laboratory and medical elements.
Transport and storage
Dry ice is transported and stored in special thermal insulation containers, in which the daily loss from storage is 5-8% of the amount of dry ice. Geo Gas has them in available sizes with a capacity of 35, 40 and 100 kilograms.
