Carbon dioxide (CO
2) made for the beverage industry is a product of industrial processes including combustion, fermentation, ammonia/hydrogen production, chemical and refinery operations, and other natural processes. These sources, as well as the supply chain itself, can introduce trace contamination into the CO
2 that can pose health concerns or unwanted flavoring.
Our BASELINE Total Hydrocarbon Analyzers (THA) and Gas Chromatographs (GC) help ensure gases are processed and shipped with minimal impurities.
- Accurate low detection limits (LDL)
- Seamless data transfer to help customers create batch reports
- World-class PID detector
- Small footprint to save space
- Easy to configure, and train on analyzer

Total Hydrocarbon Analyzer
As set forth in the International Society of Beverage Technologists' “Bulk Carbon Dioxide: Quality & Food Safety Guidelines," our products provide testing for total hydrocarbons, organic compounds and total sulfur.
When looking for impurities, low detection limits are important to provide an accurate assessment of beverage-grade CO
2. BASELINE products are significantly below the measurement standards set forth in ISBT recommendations, as shown in the table below.
