Common Beverage Gases 

Carbon Dioxide (CO₂) 

From processing to preserving, packaging to pouring a glass—CO₂ is most commonly known for carbonating beverages and creating dry ice in the beverage industry.

CO₂ is available in two forms: cylinders and micro-bulk CO₂ liquid cylinders. 

Cylinders

As the most common mode for CO₂ delivery, cylinders are great for small quantities or areas where piping isn’t practical. 

Liquid cylinders

As CO₂ volumes grow, liquid cylinders offer larger quantities of gas to be stored in a smaller footprint. 

Common sizes

• Carbon Dioxide 2o lbs
• Carbon Dioxide 50 lbs
• Micro-bulk 300 lbs
