Teledyne’s Carbon Dioxide Quality Control (CDQC) system offers an integrated package to continuously monitor impurities in carbon dioxide (CO2). The plug-and-play design allows for the user to select only the gases and features of interest to maximize cost benefit and space.
Front door viewing windows allow for view of all analyzer displays, flow and pressure settings. Stainless steel tube fitting connections and NPT or metric electrical ports, as required, are conveniently located in a central location for ease of access. Sample conditioning, utility gas provisions and integral calibration gas solenoid valves are standard.
Raw carbon dioxide (CO2) is commonly sourced from ammonia plants, ethanol plants, and other fermentation sources. For use in food and beverages, proper removal of certain compounds in these processes is critical because many of them can pose health risks and impact beverage odor and taste. As a result, ultra-pure CO2 gas suppliers and bottlers continuously check product quality for part-per-million (PPM) or even part-per-billion (PPB) levels of these impurities. Impurity limits and the need to continuously monitor may vary depending on the customer and raw CO2 source.
