What is Bulk CO2?
A bulk CO2 system is a low cost, hassle-free alternative to high pressure cylinders for applications including beverage carbonation, water pH balancing, greenhouse growing and botanical extraction. Bulk holding tanks typically range in size from 300lb-26 Ton of liquid product and can be rented from a Bulk-CO2 supplier. Tanks are professionally installed on-site, and provide a reliable, continuous supply of CO2 to its application. Conveniently filled through a fill port by a Bulk CO2 truck, these vessels can be monitored remotely by supplier and customers to ensure product never runs out.

Restaurants & Bars
If you have ever had a pop or beer, you have felt the carbonated sensation that CO2 provides to drinks. Whether mixed with nitrogen, or syrup and water, CO2 is a vital necessity for consumed beverages. Geer Gas Corporation has specialized in beverage grade Carbon Dioxide for over 30 years and will guide you through a seamless transition to a Bulk CO2 tank.

Breweries
Many refer to Carbon Dioxide as the 5th ingredient in craft beer, maintaining a prominent role during both the cellar production and packaging operation. During the production and packaging operations, CO2 is used as a flavor stabilizer, propellent of beer from one tank to another, pre-purging agent for kegs prior to sanitation, and to can final product. Geer Gas Corporation specializes in brewery installs and works with the head brewer to ensure premier quality and consistency.

Cultivation
Plants need CO2 to grow healthy and having too little will cause plants to deplete their supply of sugars. During the vegetative state, Chlorophyll-containing organelles known as chloroplasts use sunlight to convert CO2 and H2O (water) into carbohydrates (sugars). Increasing the levels of CO2 present in this stage will help promote healthy, rapid growth, and increase productivity in creating leaves and flowers.

Concrete
Recycled waste CO2 is injected into the concrete mixture to increase the compressed strength and decrease the amount of cement needed. This cutting-edge process increases concrete quality, saves on cost of cement, and provides a green solution by reducing carbon emissions. Geer Gas Corporation is the leading supplier of CO2 for Carbon Cured Concrete in Ohio.

Water Treatment
CO2 is recognized as a safe and green alternative to sulfuric acid for pH control in water treatment plants. The use of CO2 for this purpose is advantageous because it will both lower the pH level and convert to alkalinity as the calcite raises the pH of the water. Thus, reducing high pH levels quickly. Utilizing a Bulk CO2 tank is much safer than handling/storing acid-based solutions as it is non-corrosive. Carbon Dioxide is non-corrosive to pipes and equipment, decreasing equipment and monitoring costs.
