The purity of CO2 is crucial to ensure the taste, quality, and consistency of the final product. Even small impurities can alter the flavor or appearance of beverages. Beverage grade CO2 is produced and handled according to strict standards to ensure it’s safe for consumption. Beverage grade CO2 must be at least 99.9% pure, and it must meet strict limits on contaminants like benzene, sulfur, and hydrocarbons.
A 20# CO2 tank should dispense approximately 10 – 2.5 gallon boxes of soda syrup or 20-25 kegs of beer.
Beverage grade CO2 is often produced as a byproduct of other industries, such as ethanol and petrochemical production. In the United States, beverage grade CO2 must be at least 99.9% pure. Beverage manufacturers and CO2 suppliers work together to ensure that the CO2 meets the standards for safe consumption. Regulatory bodies, such as the FDA, the International Society of Beverage Technologists, and the Compressed Gas Association, control the standards of purity.
