Each system arrives as a fully factory-tested, turnkey solution with on-site commissioning and operator training delivered by our engineers.
Kenyan beverage producers and industrial gas companies trust MOS plants because they deliver 99.99% food-grade purity compliant with ISBT standards — the same benchmark required by Coca-Cola Kenya, East African Breweries, and Crown Beverages (Pepsi) bottling franchises. Our systems are designed for continuous 24×7 operation in high-ambient environments, with minimal consumable requirements and long service intervals suited to East African operating conditions.
Whether you are setting up a new CSD bottling line in Nairobi, expanding a brewery in Kisumu, or establishing an industrial gas distribution centre in Mombasa, our CO₂ plants are available in capacities from 50 kg/hr to 2,000 kg/hr to match your exact production scale.
A proven 5-stage process — from controlled combustion to food-grade liquid CO₂ ready for bulk cryogenic storage or cylinder filling operations in Kenya
01
Controlled Combustion
Fuel — diesel, natural gas, or LPG — 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 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.
Schematic Diagram Of CO₂ Production Process
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 Kenyan beverage and industrial applications.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions — CO₂ Plants in Kenya
Questions we receive from Kenyan beverage manufacturers, industrial gas producers, and project developers
Yes. MOS Techno Engineers exports fully automated CO₂ production plants to Kenya and across East Africa. We manage the complete process — design, fabrication, factory testing, export documentation, sea freight to Mombasa Port, and in-country commissioning by our engineers. Kenyan buyers receive a single point of contact from enquiry through to plant handover.
Diesel and LPG are both widely used in Kenyan CO₂ plants. Diesel is preferred where supply is reliable and costs are manageable; LPG is increasingly popular in Nairobi and other urban centres where it offers cleaner combustion and stable pricing. Natural gas is a consideration in coastal industrial zones near Kenya's gas infrastructure. We assess your site's fuel supply, cost structure, and availability to recommend the most cost-effective configuration for your specific location in Kenya.
This depends on your line speed, number of filling lines, and daily production hours. A small-to-mid-scale Kenyan bottling plant typically requires 100–300 kg/hr. A large-format CSD facility or franchise bottling plant (Coca-Cola Kenya, Crown Beverages, EABL) often requires 500–2,000 kg/hr. We carry out a detailed CO₂ demand calculation based on your actual line specifications and storage buffer requirements — and size the plant accordingly at no cost during the proposal stage.
Yes. Our CO₂ plants produce gas at 99.99% purity, meeting the ISBT (International Society of Beverage Technologists) standard — which is the globally recognised benchmark accepted by KEBS-regulated beverage and food manufacturers in Kenya. A purity certificate is issued with every plant. The multi-stage purification system — DCC scrubbing, MEA absorption, iV 1100 activated carbon filtration, and high-pressure SS dryers — removes all contaminants to well below the ISBT maximum limits.
Yes. Our plants are designed with automatic safe-shutdown and restart sequences that protect the plant during grid interruptions. They can be integrated with generator backup systems, and the PLC control panel manages orderly shutdown and startup without risk of contamination or equipment damage. We can also advise on minimum generator sizing requirements for your specific plant capacity at your Kenyan site.
Fabrication lead time is typically 16–22 weeks from order confirmation, depending on plant capacity and scope. Sea freight from India to Mombasa Port takes approximately 18–25 days. Following port clearance and delivery to site, our commissioning engineers travel to Kenya for installation supervision and plant startup — typically 2–4 weeks depending on plant size. We provide a full project timeline at the proposal stage so you can plan your production launch accurately.
We provide remote technical support with a 2-hour response commitment, periodic site visits, Annual Maintenance Contracts (AMC), genuine spare parts supply with fast courier delivery to Kenya, and emergency on-site engineer deployment when required. Our Africa support is coordinated from our Kenya office, which ensures fast response times for in-country interventions across East Africa.
Our plants consistently produce CO₂ at 99.99% food-grade purity — fully compliant with ISBT standards. The five-stage purification process removes sulphur compounds, NOx, H₂S, moisture, hydrocarbons, and trace odour compounds to levels well below internationally accepted food and beverage limits. A purity analysis certificate is issued with every plant before shipment.
Yes. Plants can be designed from the outset with future capacity expansion in mind — allowing you to add a second combustion train, increase compressor capacity, or extend liquid storage as your Kenyan business grows. This modular approach protects your initial capital investment while giving you a clear upgrade pathway when production demand increases.
Yes.
