Beverage Carbonation
CO2 is mainly used in the beverage sector for the carbonation of soft drinks, beer and sparking water. The constant attention to the needs of the beverage industry, and the experience matured by SOL in the production and distribution of beverage quality CO2, underpins the development of SOL’s service.
Within the context of liquid CO2 supplies for the carbonation of drinks, SOL has established a specific control procedure based on practices that meet requirements in terms of environmental, personal and equipment safety, such that SOL’s CO2 quality is also certified to ISO 22000 and FSSC 22000 standards, making SOL a leader in the CO2 market. SOL can provide an Analysis Certificate indicating compliance with ISBT Specification requirements.
