The MAX-Bev™ CO2 Purity Monitoring System, exclusively sold & serviced internationally by Airborne Labs, is a fully integrated analysis system capable of simultaneous accurate measurement of CO2% and more than 20 impurities down to ppb levels as specified by the International Society of Beverage Technologists (ISBT)*. The elegant design incorporates complete control of the input process gas streams from all points of the carbonation process (delivery tanker, pre- and post- filtration), along with zero gas and validation gas. Total software control is maintained via the large front panel touch screen or keyboard. This system is ideal whenever and wherever carbonation gases must be analyzed for impurities.
MAX-Bev™ can quickly analyze carbonation streams for all gaseous impurities using state-of-the-art FTIR and fluorescence technologies. Any impurities observed in the Bev-gas are quickly detected, speciated and quantified. Common communication protocols for data logging are used for easy incorporation into existing plant designs.

Advantages
Fully approved by a major soda company, many bottling plants & CO2 producers now purchasing Max-Bev systems
2 Year Warranty by Max Analytical Technologies
2 Year free remote monitoring by Max Analytical Technologies
Turnkey system (including a modular HVAC conditioned instrument shed if desired)
Ability to analyze 1L cylinder samples of LCO2 which you had mentioned as being useful.
Much lower usage of CO2 product, much lower flow rates required, and less wasted CO2 product.
Ability to automatically analyze all of the current & future storage tanks (9 sample channel system).
Ability to analyze Tank Trucks using a simple HMI interactive Atlas sampling station & pushbutton COA generation.
Several CO2 Purity Grades Report formats can be selected (ex. ISBT, EIGA, Food Grade, etc.).
Rapid tank change purging due to line transport of gas phase CO2 vs insulated liquid CO2 transfer lines
Onsite training available by Airborne Labs International Distributor Network
Ability to do %CO2 purity on-line vs dangerous Zahm-Nagel based caustic methods.
Ability to monitor all ISBT-listed impurities & others if desired including acetaldehyde which is very important for fermentation & combustion-based sources.
Rapid 6-second data updates due to Max Analytical’s patented, very sensitive IR detector
Very infrequent need for periodic zeroing & IR/UVD response verification QC checks, due to very high signal stability because of the compact HVAC system that is mounted on top of a Max-Bev rack.
Total Sulfur Content (TSC) by continuous monitoring, modular UVF unit.
Minimum detection limits of critical impurities that are 10 to 100X better than the competition. No need to worry about any future spec limit changes & you get very good early warning information on a slow build-up of any impurity.
Freedom from false-positive alarms often caused by low level H2O spectral interference experienced by other IR systems - because of superior Max-Bev IR signal processing techniques (ex. “picket fence” method). Also, no “Unknown Impurity” alarms as sometimes experienced in other systems.
Low Maintenance of primarily periodic filter changes, which can be easily done by customer staff if desired. PM Contracts are available also, but not mandatory.
Powerful, remote monitoring software for checking system status, signal quality, spectral profiles, hardware functions, periodic quality assurance verifications of measurement accuracy. This provides early warning of any pending source change-outs, filter changes, etc. Service contracts are available, but not mandatory. Remote Diagnostic Monitoring can reduce the amount of time & costs needed for on-site fault diagnosis or repairs.
The Max-Bev is equipped with a UPS-Electrical Protection from surges, spikes, brownouts, and more
Airborne Labs Int’l, expert, ISO-accredited, approved laboratory backup and support available if or when needed.
Airborne Labs Int’l is a single source of all spares, replacement parts, verification/support gas standards, supplies, training, PM & R&M needs. Backup insurance equipment is offered for result confirmation or to keep monitoring if the main system goes off-line.
Very Competitively priced vs comparable CO2 IR analyzer systems.
