re: Anyone Want to Go into the Dry Ice Business?

There’s a very large natural CO2 supply under Jackson, MS named Jackson Dome. There’s a pipeline that brings that CO2 to dry ice producers around Brookhaven, MS and an Air Gas facility south of Houston. That pipeline cuts through many LA parishes. If you want to get into the business, southern LA is a good spot to be.

You left off sublimation loss: ~5–10% per 24 hours (varies)

You can generally search the web, and call the sellers.
Also, check with meat packers in your area.
I didnt even think about Joe Patti's, they definitely have it.
But as far as the other obvious places, we call all of them, and they are quite often sold out.
We started just getting it from Nexair in Mobile, but they even run out sometimes.

How much to get started?
Posted on 6/22/26 at 9:01 pm to Funky Tide 8
Get there early before any summer holiday. Like 2 days before.
Packed in a Yeti, it'll last for 48 hours, no problem.
And obviously, dont put it in a home freezer.

I like my ICE like I like my women. In uniform, possibly wearing a mask, slightly violent, and wet.

I’ve only handled dry ice once: when my mom shipped some hometown foods to me my sophomore year of college. My roommates and I immediately put some in a water bottle and tossed it in the bathtub. It sounded like a bomb went off, so I fled my apartment figuring the cops were on the way. I was deaf for a good ten minutes.
Based on my track record, I don’t trust myself around the stuff

Had some in a soft yeti for medical purpose came back to hotel room found it blown up like a balloon. Didn’t consider the zipper being airtight on a soft cooler. Was a good thing I found it before it blew up a very nice hotel room.

Go into the ethanol business. High quality CO2 is a huge by product of the production of ethanol.

my first job out of highschool was delivering medical specimen in my car and we had to grab a chunk of that stuff every morning and put in a styrofoam box . Iti'll burn your hand after a few seconds

Interestingly enough, I’ve heard the opposite….Industrial CO2 in massive quantities can be hard to source, but dry ice, no problem.
Friend of mine was using CO2 to inject in a concrete slurry- apparently it helps the cure time- welding gas place they were sourcing from was out (they were getting the gas in those banks of like 8 bottles). No CO2, they have to stop a $40MM tunnel boring machine. So, they took a dump truck, went to the dry ice plant, and had them load up a truck full of dry ice. Apparently they dumped this load 175’ down a hole into their slurry so they could continue to make the tunnel walls.

that's pretty wild.

If ypu are trying to freeze in bushings or pins on machinery, liquid nitrogen is way quicker and effective. A small tank is not that expensive.

We go through 350-700 lbs. a week and can have it delivered within a 24 hour notice. If you ever need any in Baton Rouge , check with BR Packaging and Shipping.
