Carbon Dioxide CO2 UHP Gas 99.9999%

Carbon dioxide uses in industry applications
In addition, plants use CO2 in many specific applications and industrial processes in individual industries.

Carbon dioxide used in Food and Beverage
The most obvious is the gas used for carbonating beverages, in particular beer, soft drinks, and wine. This prevents the growth of bacteria and fungi.
Carbon dioxide can also be used for de-caffeinating coffee.

Thanks to its aforementioned cooling properties, CO2 keeps food products cold while they are being transported. In addition, it can also be used for quick-freezing and, in combination with ethylene oxide, for cold sterilizing food.

Furthermore, CO2 is a highly effective inert blanket that protects food items during their production, it can displace air in the canning process, and it can be used to propel or extract food products from their containers.

CO2 uses in Agriculture
In the grain treatment process, CO2 is pumped into silos or other storage facilities in order to kill insects and protect the products.
It also plays an important role in the manufacture of some fertilizers.
Furthermore, the air in greenhouses can be enriched with carbon dioxide to allow the crops there to optimize their photosynthesis potential.

CO2 used in Manufacturing
In MIG/MAG welding, CO2 serves as a so-called shield gas, which means that it protects the weld puddle from oxidation.
In addition, in combination with argon, carbon dioxide is used to achieve an improved welding rate and to reduce the need for post-welding treatment.

CO2 used in Chemical industry
Very large quantities of CO2 are used as a raw material for the production of methanol and urea.

CO2 used in Metalworking
Carbon dioxide not only has anti-corrosive features, but it can also be used to harden the casting molds used in this industry.  Carbon dioxide used in Petroleum industry.
Carbon dioxide can be pumped into oil wells in order to optimize their yield. During this process, the CO2 partially dissolves, which makes the oil less viscous and easier to extract from the bedrock.

CO2 used in Construction

Dry ice pellets consisting of carbon dioxide are used for removing paint from surfaces. This process is replacing sandblasting because it lowers the cost of disposal and cleanup.

Carbon dioxide used in Health care
When added to medical-grade oxygen, CO2 can help stimulate respiration.

Carbon dioxide used in Environmental uses
This one may be most surprising because of the role carbon dioxide plays in climate change. However, when used as a propellant in aerosol cans, CO2 is actually better for the environment than many other alternatives.
