Carbonation [ Return towards Winery ]
In developed countries, each person consumes about 150 litres of soft drink a year, like an ocean of nearly half a billion cubic meters! The carbonation that delivers the fizz is obtained naturally during the fermentation or artificially by injecting carbon dioxide into a liquid.
Method
The carbonation occurs when carbon dioxide gas is added to a water-based liquid. The carbon dioxide reacts with the water molecules to form carbonic acid. This acid gives the fizzing sensation and exhales some aromas.
Solution
The carbonation can be carried out within the factory where the beverage process and the bottling takes place, or on the consumption site. The ALIGAL DRINK offer developed in partnership with the beverage industry complies with all the traceability and the security requirement, with:
- CO2 following the ISBT (International Society of beverages technologists) specifications, and a HACCP plan procedure guaranteeing products traceability.
- A special distribution chain and delivery procedures
- A vast range of specialised services as consumption optimization, cross-plant carbon dioxide quality control, mutual audits…
Air Liquide offers you carbonation solutions adapted to your industrial plant and to the preparation at draught places (soft drinks, beer).
