Carbon Dioxide Monitoring, CO2 Monitoring, Beverage-Grade

Ensure the quality of your carbonated beverages

Whether you are a beverage packager or a gas supplier, it is critical to monitor the CO₂ used in carbonation streams to ensure quality and compliance with the rigorous standards established by the beverage industry, including those from the International Society of Beverage Technologists (ISBT) and the European Industrial Gases Association (EIGA). Testing is required to monitor purity and confirm that the CO₂ does not contain any contaminants, such as sulfur and benzene, which could impact taste, appearance, and the safety of the final product.

The Thermo Scientific™ MAX-Bev™ CO₂ Purity Monitoring System is designed to monitor CO₂ purity and identify key trace impurities at low levels, thus enabling compliance with regulatory requirements. From QA/QC managers to truck drivers, users can rely on the MAX-Bev system to deliver fast, accurate results in a user-friendly, cost-effective system.

Meet and exceed ISBT and EIGA requirements with ease
Save time and money – avoid product waste, production delays, and recalls
Ensure customer safety, satisfaction, and loyalty to your brand

The MAX-Bev Advantage

The MAX-Bev system is a fully-integrated online monitoring system, capable of simultaneous, accurate measurement of CO₂ absolute purity and more than 20 impurities down to ppb levels. Engineered for demanding environments, it uses proven Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, providing reliable “hands-off” operation day in and day out. This means no more time spent tinkering with outdated instruments like UV fluorescence analyzers that are finicky and prone to breakdowns. Since CO₂ purity is directly measured by the MAX-Bev system, alongside the impurities, it also saves the operator considerable time and avoids unreliable wet chemistry techinques.

Enjoy the many benefits of the MAX-Bev system:

Fast, accurate analysis with up-to-the-minute reporting
Reliable operation using proven FTIR technology
Highly automated, user-friendly software – pushbutton operation, no technical expertise required
Robust methods that minimize analysis errors and costly rejection of “good” product or release of “off-spec” batches

Easy maintenance and low cost of ownership
Generate and print Certificates of Analysis (CoA)
Save operator time by replacing unreliable and cumbersome UV-fluorescence and wet chemistry techniques

MAX-Bev CO₂ Purity Monitoring System

The MAX-Bev is a fully integrated on-line CO₂ monitoring system providing fast, accurate measurements of sensory active and harmful impurities in CO₂.

The design incorporates complete control of the input process gas streams from all points of the carbonation process (delivery tanker, pre- and post- filtration), along with zero gas and validation gas.

Software control is via the large front panel touchscreen or keyboard. Common communication protocols for data logging are used for easy incorporation into existing plant designs, and impurities observed in the Bev-gas are quickly detected, speciated, and quantified.
