CO₂ Purity Measurement for Beverage-Grade Carbon Dioxide

Beverage-grade carbon dioxide typically requires a minimum CO₂ purity of 99.9%, although specific requirements depend on applicable standards and customer specifications. In addition to CO₂ concentration, beverage-grade quality standards establish limits for impurities such as oxygen, carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, moisture, and sulfur compounds. The CO2-525X can help verify carbon dioxide concentration, but additional analytical testing is necessary to confirm compliance with the complete beverage-grade specification.

The CO2-525X provides continuous carbon dioxide concentration measurement to help beverage producers monitor the performance of on-site CO₂ recovery and purification systems. By measuring gas at designated sampling points downstream of recovery or purification equipment, operators can identify changes in CO₂ concentration and evaluate whether the recovered gas meets established concentration specifications. These measurements support process optimization and quality control but must be supplemented with appropriate impurity testing to verify full beverage-grade compliance.

Yes. The CO2-525X provides continuous carbon dioxide concentration measurements that can support supplier quality verification and documentation for beverage-grade CO₂. When connected to a compatible data recording system, measurements can be logged and compared against established CO₂ concentration specifications. These records, combined with appropriate calibration documentation and supplier certificates of analysis, help beverage producers maintain traceability and evaluate gas quality. Additional testing is required to verify other impurities covered by beverage-grade CO₂ standards.
