The ACP Group has started the construction of a third liquid CO₂ purification line with a 15 tons per hour capacity in Włocławek, Poland. The total cost of investment amounts to €10 million. The completion time is planned for June 2018.

ACP’s Polish liquid CO₂ recovery plants are located at the Anwil S.A. site, which is the exclusive supplier of raw CO₂ gas to the ACP plants in Poland. Anwil S.A. owns two independent ammonia production lines which supply the raw CO₂ gas. Supplies of CO₂ gas from Anwil S.A. are carried out on a continuous basis. As a result, ACP can guarantee stable supplies and high quality liquefied gas.

With this new investment, ACP will have three independent food quality liquid CO₂ purification lines and will reach a total capacity of 37,5 t/hour. This results in a potential recovery of 300.000 tons of CO₂ per year and allows an uninterrupted, 24/7 production covering the growing demand for pure liquid CO₂.

This additional production volume, the large storage capacity and the existing railway connection will allow us not only to serve the Polish market, but also to secure the supply to Western Europe and our customers in Ukraine. It will strengthen ACP's position as the largest producer and supplier of liquid CO₂ and dry ice in Poland and as a leading liquid CO₂ supplier in Europe.

Thanks to our modern state of the art liquid CO₂ purification plants, ACP continues to set the standards and meets the highest safety and quality requirements on the international market.

ACP’s high quality liquid CO₂ can be used in various commercial applications among which are beverages, cooling and freezing of foodstuffs, feeding plants in greenhouses, animal stunning, waste water neutralization, cryogenic transport or packaging of food in a protective atmosphere (Modified Atmosphere Packing). The increased production will enable ACP to expand its activities to new market segments and new CO₂ applications.
