Liquid CO2 Spherical
Liquid CO2 Spherical Tank
A liquid CO2 spherical tank is a specialized storage vessel designed to contain liquid carbon dioxide (CO2) in a spherical shape. These tanks are engineered to withstand high pressures and are constructed with safety features such as pressure relief valves and emergency venting systems. The spherical design maximizes the volume-to-surface area ratio, enabling efficient storage of liquid CO2 while minimizing material usage. Liquid CO2 spherical tanks find applications in various industries, including beverage carbonation, food processing, pharmaceuticals, and water treatment, where liquid CO2 is used for carbonation, freezing, packaging, pH regulation, and extraction processes.
Description
- High-Pressure Storage: Engineered to withstand high pressures, ensuring safe containment of liquid carbon dioxide (CO2), typically stored under pressure to maintain its liquid state.
- Spherical Design: Maximizes the volume-to-surface area ratio, allowing for efficient storage of large quantities of liquid CO2 while minimizing material usage.
- Safety Features: Incorporate safety features such as pressure relief valves, emergency venting systems, and protective coatings to prevent accidents and ensure safe containment of the liquid CO2.
- Versatile Applications:
- Beverage Industry: Liquid CO2 is used for carbonation of soft drinks, beer, and sparkling water in the beverage industry.
- Food Processing: Employed in food processing for freezing, chilling, and packaging applications, as well as in modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) to extend shelf life.
- Pharmaceuticals: Utilized in pharmaceutical manufacturing processes, such as extraction, purification, and sterilization.
- Water Treatment: Liquid CO2 is used as a pH regulator in water treatment processes to control alkalinity and adjust the pH level of water.
