AirBreather Beverage CO2 Analytical Systems

AirBreather Systems™ was developed by ASTG at the request of a major beverage manufacturer seeking to update its gas purity verification system. After five years of development, including two years of field trials and one year of in-service validation, AirBreather Systems™ was born: a robust, economical, maintenance-friendly system incorporating proven technology and proprietary software to provide fast, accurate and readily accessible CO₂ purity verification.

AirBreather is designed to meet the instrument-measurable requirements of the ISBT guideline and the CGA and EIGA specifications for known hazardous and sensory contaminants. With optional built-in alarms for purity and status conditions, deep database systems and proven accuracy, brand protection can be achieved in a single piece of equipment.
