Applications of Carbon dioxide (CO2) in Accommodation and Food Services

Overview

Accommodation and Food Services is a broad industry category that encompasses businesses and establishments providing services related to lodging and food. It includes a wide range of businesses involved in hospitality, catering, and the provision of food and accommodation to customers

Depending on specific features and functions, GAO Tek’s carbon dioxide (CO2) are sometimes referred to as Carbonic acid gas, Carbon(IV) oxide, Carbon oxide, Carbonic anhydride, Dry ice, Carbon(IV) dioxide, Carbonic acid anhydride, R744 , Carbon oxide Gas, Exhaled air.

GAO Tek’s carbon dioxide (CO2) have the following applications in accommodation and food services:

Food and Beverage Industry: Carbonation: GAO CO2 is used to carbonate soft drinks, sparkling water, and beer.
Food Freezing and Cooling: It’s used in cryogenic freezing and cooling of food products.
Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP): GAO CO2 helps extend the shelf life of perishable foods by displacing oxygen.
Fire Suppression and Fire Extinguishers: GAO CO2 is used as a fire suppression agent in fire extinguishers and fire protection systems. It works by displacing oxygen and smothering the fire.
Industrial Processes: Welding and Metal Fabrication: GAO CO2 is used as a shielding gas in welding processes like MIG (Metal Inert Gas) welding.
Chemical Manufacturing: It’s used as a raw material in various chemical processes.
pH Control: CO2 is used to adjust and control the pH levels in water treatment processes.
Medical and Healthcare: Respiratory Therapy: GAO CO2 is used in medical gases for respiratory treatments.
Laparoscopic Surgery: In some cases, GAO CO2 is used as insufflation gas during minimally invasive surgeries.
Horticulture and Agriculture: Greenhouses: Controlled release of GAO CO2 in greenhouses enhances plant growth and photosynthesis.
Dry Ice: Solid CO2 (dry ice) is used for cooling and preserving perishable items during transport.
Environmental and Pollution Control: Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS): GAO CO2 is captured from industrial emissions and stored underground to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Wastewater Treatment: CO2 is used to adjust pH levels in wastewater treatment processes.
Oil and Gas Industry: Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR): GAO CO2 is injected into oil reservoirs to increase oil recovery.
Well Stimulation: It’s used in well stimulation processes such as fracturing and acidizing.
Beverage Dispensing: In addition to carbonating beverages, GAO CO2 is used to dispense draft beer and other beverages in bars and restaurants.
Cooling and Refrigeration: GAO CO2 is used as a refrigerant in some commercial and industrial cooling systems.
Laboratory and Scientific Research: GAO CO2 is used in various laboratory applications, including as a culture medium in microbiology.
Supercritical Fluid Extraction: CO2 in its supercritical state is used for extracting essential oils, flavors, and fragrances.
