AMCS :: Food & Beverage

Industrial gases contribute immeasurably to the quality and consumer enjoyment of today's food supply. Gases and liquids play a role in carbonation, hydrogenation, flash-freezing, and fish farming. AMCS ULTRA Series^® plants give food producers and industrial gas suppliers the on-site capability to generate the gases and liquids this industry needs in the quantities they require and of a quality that adheres to all FDA specifications and regulations.

Aquaculture
Food chilling
Food freezing
Inerting/purging

Gas and Liquid:

Nitrogen
