Liquid SO₂ · Elbasan, since 1970

Pure SO₂, made from sulphur and oxygen.

Food grade E 220 and technical grade liquid sulphur dioxide, produced by the people who own the plant — and delivered across Europe, from a 2 kg cylinder to a full ISO tank.

How it’s made

Five steps. No shortcuts.

We burn elemental sulphur in pure oxygen instead of air. That one choice keeps nitrogen out of the process and is why our SO₂ comes out consistently concentrated, with very little inert gas.

Sulphur

Elemental sulphur from refinery suppliers.

Pure oxygen

Combustion in O₂, not air — no atmospheric nitrogen in the gas.

Glycerine drying

Moisture removed with food-grade glycerine, not sulphuric acid.

Liquefaction

Cooled and compressed into high-purity liquid SO₂.

Test & fill

Every batch analysed and released with its own Certificate of Analysis.

Same line, same purity

Food grade and technical grade come off one line. They are separated by release testing, documentation and packaging control.

Batch-linked CoA

Purity, moisture, arsenic, lead and residue are measured on every lot before it leaves Elbasan.

Audits welcome

Visit the plant, review the procedures and the management system. Customers are told about material changes.

Two grades

Choose by application. Not by compromise.

Same plant, same purity. Pick the grade by what you make and by the documents your auditor will ask for.

Food additive

Food grade E 220

For wine, fruit and vegetables, sugar and beverages — where SO₂ controls microbes and prevents oxidation.

Applications

Where our SO₂ goes to work.

WINE

Winemaking

Antioxidant and antimicrobial control from crush to bottle. E 220 in cylinders and drums for wineries and oenological distributors.

FOOD

Fruit & dried fruit

Preserving and bleaching dried and candied fruit, juices, potatoes, mushrooms and cereals.

SUGAR

Sugar & starch

Bacteriostatic, bleaching and acidifying agent for beet and cane sugar, starch and glucose.

WATER

Water treatment

Dechlorination of municipal and industrial effluent; reduction of hexavalent chromium.

MINING

Hydrometallurgy

Cyanide destruction and leaching in gold, copper, cobalt, nickel and manganese circuits.

GLASS

Float glass

Surface treatment and acidifying agent on float lines — steady, year-round consumption.

PULP

Pulp, paper & textiles

Bleaching agent and scavenger for excess chlorine and peroxide.

CHEM

Chemical synthesis

Feedstock for sulphites, bisulphites, hydrosulphites, thiosulphates and sulphonates.

GASES

Gas distributors

Cylinder and drum filling for distributors selling SO₂ under their own brand.

Packaging & logistics

Start with a cylinder. Grow to a tank.

Every pack size from the same plant, so you can scale without changing supplier. All pressure equipment is CE-TPED marked and approved for ADR, RID and ADN.
