Supply Options

Liquid nitrogen or carbon dioxide may be supplied in individual liquid cylinders (shown below), or delivered to storage vessels installed onsite (Bulk, as shown above, and MicroBulk).

In certain situations requiring high demand for nitrogen supply, an air separation unit (ASU) can be built onsite.

Liquid nitrogen deliveries originate from our coast-to-coast network of air separation units (ASUs).

Other Cryogens

Although typically not used for food freezing, other cryogens, such as liquid oxygen, liquid argon, liquid nitrous oxide, and liquid helium are also available, and may be desired for certain applications. Contact Us for more information.

About Cryogenic Food Freezing

Liquid nitrogen (or other cryogens or liquid carbon dioxide) freezing has many advantages over mechanical freezing and chilling processes:

• Faster
• Colder
• More flexible
• Takes up less space
• Lower maintenance

Cryogenic freezing enables individual quick freezing (IQF) processing, and also helps minimize dehydration of the frozen items, while retaining item quality, texture, color, and flavor.
