Beverage producers need to ensure the purity of carbon dioxide (CO₂) gas used to manufacture their products for consistent quality. They need a system that can both determine absolute purity and identify trace impurities at low levels. Industry-standard UV fluorescence analyzers are prone to maintenance issues causing extended downtime. This note demonstrates how a fully integrated solution – the Thermo Scientific™ MAX-Bev™ CO₂ Purity Monitoring System – provides the robust, reliable solution that beverage producers need. The system is engineered for demanding process environments and allows users to measure absolute purity along with trace impurities in CO₂ down to single-digit parts-per-billion (ppb).
