16.  What is the effect on the atmosphere of releasing the CO2 gas?

Environmental concerns are an important part of the environmental awarenesss. CRYONOMIC® Equipment addresses these issues.

 About 9O % of commercial CO2 is produced as a by-product of other chemical processes. Gas that would have been discharged into the atmosphere is actually reclaimed. By reclaiming this gas and purifying it, and then by getting useful work from it, the commercial CO2 market is not a true source of CO2 pollution.

 A CRYONOMIC® clean blast unit operating one shift per day returns about 1/2 ton of CO2 into the atmosphere each day. This quantity is very low considering the more significant sources of CO2 in the world.
  • A typical American family of three generates 34 tons of CO2 annually, from direct and indirect consumption of fossil fuels.
  • A single 1OO KW coal-fired generator plant releases 1,85O tons of CO2 daily. That is the equivalent of more than 1,5OO CO2 cleaning units.
