Liquid Carbon Dioxide (LCO₂)

Overview

Liquid carbon dioxide is CO2stored as a refrigerated liquid under pressure in insulated bulk tanks. It gives beverage producers, food processors and manufacturers a large, steady supply of CO2for carbonation, chilling and process use.

Key Characteristics

• Stored as a refrigerated liquid under pressure
• Non-flammable, colorless and odorless
• Heavier than air, so good ventilation is required
• Suited to continuous high-volume consumption

Common Applications

• Carbonation of soft drinks, beer and mineral water
• Chilling and freezing in food processing
• Dry ice production
• Welding gas mixtures and pH control in water treatment
