Co2 recovery and liquefaction system for biogas upgrading
Maximize methane recovery while producing food-grade liquid CO2 in your biogas operation with a modular system that seamlessly integrates into existing processes, enhancing sustainability and reducing carbon emissions.

Liquefies and Purifies CO2 from Biogas
The Mini CO2 Liquefier from HoSt Group is a modular system designed for biogas plant operators and carbon capture facilities seeking to liquefy and purify CO2. This system leverages CO2 as a natural refrigerant, differentiating it from conventional options like Freon or Ammonia, thus enhancing environmental safety. It efficiently recovers over 99% of CO2, producing food-grade liquid CO2 for varied applications, including horticulture, food, and refrigeration industries. The system supports continuous, containerized operation, accommodating up to 600 kg/hr of CO2 with energy consumption between 0.20-0.22 kWh/kg. Its containerized design ensures seamless integration into existing operations, offering quick, plug-and-play installation. Additionally, it contributes to sustainability goals by utilizing renewable biogas sources and offers ease of maintenance through its automated features.
