CO₂ Gas Plants Built for South Africa's Beverage & Industrial Sector

South Africa is the continent's most industrialised economy and a major hub for carbonated soft drinks, craft beer, wine processing, food manufacturing, mining, and automotive production — all industries with significant CO₂ requirements. MOS Techno Engineers designs and exports turnkey CO₂ Production Plants engineered to meet the demanding standards of South African industrial operations across Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban, Pretoria, and Gqeberha (Port Elizabeth).

Our plants are designed for resilience in South Africa's unique operating environment — including load-shedding compatibility, LPG and natural gas fuel flexibility, and compliance with SABS and international food-grade standards. Each system is delivered as a fully factory-tested, turnkey solution with on-site commissioning and operator training by our engineers.

South African beverage producers and industrial gas companies choose MOS plants because they consistently deliver 99.99% food-grade purity compliant with ISBT standards — the benchmark required by Coca-Cola SA, PepsiCo SA, AB InBev South Africa, and Pioneer Foods. Our systems are built for uninterrupted 24×7 production, with automatic shutdown and restart sequences that protect the plant during Eskom load-shedding events.

Whether you are expanding a bottling line in Johannesburg, establishing a CO₂ supply for a Cape Winelands processing facility, or setting up industrial gas distribution in Durban, our CO₂ plants are available in capacities from 50 kg/hr to 2,000 kg/hr to match your exact production scale. We also serve as a regional gateway for projects in Zimbabwe, Zambia, Botswana, Namibia, and Mozambique.

How It Works

CO₂ Production & Purification Process

A proven 5-stage process — from controlled combustion to food-grade liquid CO₂ ready for bulk cryogenic storage or cylinder filling operations in South Africa

01

Controlled Combustion

Fuel — LPG, natural gas, or diesel — is burned under precisely controlled conditions in the combustion chamber, generating a CO₂-rich flue gas stream as the raw feedstock for the plant.

02

Scrubbing & Absorption

The flue gas is scrubbed with water and soda ash to remove sulphur compounds (SO₂), then passed through the absorber tower where a lean MEA solution selectively captures the CO₂ content.

03

Stripping & Purification

The CO₂-loaded MEA solution is heated in the stripper tower to release concentrated raw CO₂ gas, which then passes through an oil-free two-stage compressor and a high-pressure stainless steel purifier.

04

Drying & Filtration

CO₂ passes through an automatic dual-column molecular sieve drier and an iV 1100 grade activated carbon filter — eliminating residual moisture, odours, and trace aldehydes to meet SABS and international food and beverage specifications.

05

Liquefaction & Storage

Purified CO₂ is condensed into liquid form via an R404a refrigeration system and held at 18 bar / −24°C in insulated storage tanks, ready for cylinder filling or direct process supply.

Inside a CO₂ Plant — How Purity is Achieved

The CO₂ generation system recovers CO₂ from combustion flue gas in a continuous closed-loop process. Flue gas first enters the Scrubber Tower where it is washed with soda lye solution to strip out sulphur (SO₂) and cool the gas stream before it enters the absorber circuit.

Inside the absorber tower, lean MEA solution reacts with and captures the CO₂, while the remaining inert gases are vented safely. The CO₂-rich MEA solution is preheated via a plate heat exchanger before entering the stripper, where steam releases the CO₂ gas at high concentration. The gas is then compressed in a non-lubricated two-stage compressor to below 17.5 kg/cm².

Compressed CO₂ passes through an iV 1100 grade activated carbon tower to eliminate odour and aldehydes, then a dehydrater tower to achieve a dew point of −70°C to −80°C. The dried gas is chilled to −24°C in the liquefier, converting it into food-grade liquid CO₂ stored in a CO₂ storage tank — ready for South African beverage, food, and industrial applications.

South Africa Market Fit

Why South African Manufacturers Choose MOS CO₂ Plants

Engineering features and support capabilities matched to South Africa's operating environment, energy infrastructure challenges, and world-class industrial standards

01

Load-Shedding Resilient Design

Our plants incorporate automatic safe-shutdown and controlled-restart sequences specifically validated for the type of grid interruptions caused by Eskom load-shedding. Seamless generator integration and orderly PLC-managed restarts mean zero product contamination and minimal production loss during power events.

02

LPG & Natural Gas Multi-Fuel Flexibility

South Africa's industrial gas infrastructure supports both LPG and natural gas as clean, cost-effective fuel alternatives to diesel. Our plants are engineered for either configuration — or multi-fuel switchover — giving Johannesburg, Cape Town, and Durban manufacturers the freedom to optimise fuel costs without plant replacement.

03

Oil-Free CO₂ Compressors

Dry-running compressors eliminate any risk of oil contamination in the CO₂ stream — a non-negotiable compliance requirement for AB InBev SA, Coca-Cola SA, and PepsiCo SA production lines, and for SABS-regulated food and beverage facilities operating to international standards.

04

Turnkey Export to South Africa

We manage complete export documentation, shipping to Durban Port (the busiest container port in Sub-Saharan Africa), and in-country commissioning by our engineers — giving South African buyers a single accountable supplier from factory in India to first production run at your facility.

05

Southern Africa Gateway Capability

South Africa serves as a regional hub for plant commissioning and spare parts distribution across Southern Africa. Projects in Zimbabwe, Zambia, Botswana, Namibia, Mozambique, and Eswatini can be managed and supported through our South Africa logistics network — reducing lead times and import costs across the region.

06

PLC Automation — World-Class Control

Full PLC-based automatic operation with SCADA-ready architecture meets the operational sophistication expected by South Africa's advanced manufacturing sector — enabling remote monitoring, data logging, and integration with existing plant management systems across Gauteng, Western Cape, and KwaZulu-Natal industrial facilities.
