MAX-Bev
CO2 Purity and Impurity Detection System
The Thermo Scientific™ MAX-Bev™ CO₂ Purity Monitoring System is a cutting-edge solution designed for precise analysis of carbon dioxide (CO₂) used in beverage and industrial applications. Utilizing advanced Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) technology, this system measures trace impurities down to single-digit parts-per-billion (ppb) levels, while also providing absolute CO₂ purity measurement. Its high accuracy and automation eliminate the need for traditional wet chemistry methods, streamlining quality control processes.
The MAX-Bev system integrates seamlessly into carbonation processes, monitoring gas streams from various input sources such as delivery tankers and filtration points. It features an oxidizer module for sulfur impurity analysis, a robust touchscreen interface, and the Thermo Scientific™ MAX-Analytical™ Software Suite for full data control and compliance reporting. Designed to meet the strict standards of the International Society of Beverage Technologists (ISBT) and the European Industrial Gases Association (EIGA), the MAX-Bev CO₂ Purity Monitoring System is an essential tool for ensuring beverage-grade CO₂ quality with unmatched reliability.
