The first large scale CO2 plant in Kuwait, a partnership between Gulf Cryo and EQUATE Petrochemical Company, was officially inaugurated earlier this month. The plant is located in Shuaiba, Kuwait.

The CO2 plant recovers waste CO2 from flue gases of Equate’s production activities, and processes this gas into pure liquid CO2 for sale into the market. A 2.2 kilometer pipeline has been installed to bring the waste CO2 from Equate’s plant to the Gulf Cryo CO2 plant. Gulf Cryo and Equate have been working together to realize this project since 2014.

The plant’s capacity is 280 tonnes per day of CO2.
