Wedoany.com Report on Mar 3rd, Brigg, UK – Blended Products has enhanced its liquid carbon dioxide distribution capability by introducing a dual-branded Aritas Cryogenics 22 bar LCO₂ semi-trailer, powered by a Volvo FH540 tractor unit, through a partnership with AD Fuels. This specialized cryogenic trailer is dedicated to transporting food-grade liquid carbon dioxide, serving clients in the food and beverage, water treatment, manufacturing, and industrial sectors.
The trailer has been immediately put into service, with plans to travel to Belgium to load product before returning to the UK for direct offloading into customer storage systems via a cryogenic hydraulic pump. Blended Products' new asset was deployed in collaboration with AD Fuels, an independent road transport supplier specializing in liquefied gas haulage, including LNG, CNG, liquid CO₂, and hydrogen. Founded in 2018 by experienced transport professionals, AD Fuels operates a specialized fleet across the UK and Northern Europe, committed to safety, reliability, and exceptional customer service while delivering clean energy and industrial gases. Their expertise supported the operational delivery of Blended's new LCO₂ trailer, ensuring its integration into broader supply chain activities.
The trailer features full Blended Products livery, reflecting the company's ongoing investment in infrastructure and supply resilience. The front of the trailer bears the inscription "Operated by AD Fuels," highlighting the operational partnership. AD Fuels Director Jon Mayes remarked, "It looks very smart," expressing hope that its eye-catching design will generate interest during transit.
This investment is part of Blended's strategy to address the sustained demand for food-grade CO₂, enhance supply chain security, and expand capacity. The additional asset provides greater flexibility to the distribution network while reinforcing the company's commitment to safety, quality assurance, and reliable service delivery. Liquid carbon dioxide is a critical product for multiple UK industries, particularly in food and beverage production, where consistent supply and stringent quality standards are paramount. By strengthening its transport capabilities, Blended Products continues to prioritize operational control and long-term resilience in a market that has experienced periodic supply pressures.
