Benefits of Bulk CO2 for Restaurants and Bars!
Carbon Dioxide is the key ingredient in carbonated beverages that helps determine the taste, aroma and level of carbonation to ensure the highest quality beverages are being served to your customers.
Bulk Carbonation is the safer, hassle-free, affordable alternative to high-pressure cylinders. By providing a continuous and reliable supply of beverage grade carbon dioxide, the system takes the guesswork out of deciding when to order more carbon dioxide and swapping out tanks.
No More:
- Change tanks during peak business hours
- Flat Beer or Flat Soda
- Wasting Products and Supplies
- Ordering and Swapping Out High-Pressure Cylinders
Easy bulk CO2 beverage systems have cut costs and service delays by replacing outdated and inefficient carbonating systems for restaurants and bars.
1. Never serve flat beer or soda again
With Bulk CO2, carbonation dioxide is constantly running through the system. The proper amount of carbonation is being delivered into every drink, every time. No flat drinks are served – meaning more satisfied customers! (And less waste when it comes to throwing out flat soda or beer that was poured but not consumed.)
2. Systems are completely stationary
Having a bulk CO2 system means never having to change out heavy, cumbersome cylinders. Systems that require cylinder changes forces you to depressurize the entire system and lose out on usage carbon dioxide.
A stationary system also reduced the chances for employee injury and damage to your establishment caused by moving high-pressure cylinders.
3. Cylinders do not need to be changed out
The tanks are refilled through a fill box located outside your establishment. Our state-of-the-art trucks quickly and easily deliver carbon dioxide without having to halt beverage service during a refill, or use up carbon dioxide and syrup due to a system restart.
Draft Beers must have a reliable source of carbon dioxide to maintain carbonation. sing this system means never serving another flat beverage again. Your customers will be happy with the top-notch quality of your drinks, and you’ll enjoy the savings!
4. System refills from the outside
Tanks are filled from the outside, making refills a breeze and allowing you to get every last bit of gas from your tank without any loss.
5. No venting required
The vent and fill lines are located in a lockable box outside the facility, so that we can monitor and refill without interrupting the flow of carbon dioxide to the fountain or draft beers. It’s a continuous, trouble-free flow.
6. 24/7 Service
Your deliveries will be scheduled based off your usage, so you will no longer have to call to schedule a carbon dioxide delivery. We fill your bulk tank from the outside of the building, so we do not need to interrupt you during business hours.
Whether you have a problem during the day, or in the middle of your busy time, Tri-State Carbonation offers great 24/7 service. We can have a technician to you within 24 hours of notifying us.
7. Cheaper and Greener!
By eliminating high-pressure cylinders from your establishment, you’re saving time and money, and reducing the amount of cylinders that will end up in the trash stream.
What are some benefits of Bulk CO2?
- Reduction in cost for carbon dioxide since buying in bulk.
- Only pay for carbon dioxide consumed – No residual carbon dioxide left at bottom of cylinders when returned.
- Time save by eliminating need to swap out cylinders.
- Continuous and reliable flow of carbon dioxide always running through system.
- Reduce waste through decreased amount of flat soda or beer served.
- Bulk CO2 tanks need limited amount of space, compared to high-pressure cylinders.
- Increased customer satisfaction as a result of always serving quality products.
The Bulk CO2 system for restaurants and bars is the perfect solution to your carbonation needs. Stay ahead of the competition with a state-of-the-art system that is more cost effective and efficient than the alternative choice of using high-pressure cylinders.
A continuous supply of carbon dioxide, allows you to always serve quality products to your customers, in turn, saving you precious time and money.
Tri-State Carbonation Service Brewery Spotlight
For the month of June 2018, we’re recognizing Coastal Craft Kombucha from Oceanside, NY.
Coastal Craft Kombucha, founded in 2015, started as a small home brewing operation in Long Island. Later, they were able to grow their business to a commercial production area and brewery in Oceanside, NY. Their love for kombucha comes from the desire to stay fit and active and eat as healthy as possible, but also enjoy as much flavor that life has to offer at the same time. At Coastal Craft Kombucha they use ALL organic teas, herbs, spices, and flowers to make their authentic kombucha and add just the right amount of fresh pressed juice for an amazing end result.
What is Kombucha?
Kombucha is a fermented tea traditionally made from Water, Tea, Sugar, and a Scoby, which is a culture of healthy bacteria and yeast. Kombucha is naturally carbonated, and like beer, a kombucha taproom needs CO2 to offer a perfect fizz with every pour. 
Tri-State Carbonation Service recently teamed up with Coastal Craft kombucha to offer them a new 550 lb. tank of bulk CO2 for their taproom.
Coast Craft Kombucha posted on their Instagram:
“A big thank you to Tri-State Carbonation Service for our install of a new 550 lb. tank that’s going to make it a lot easier to bring everyone even more Downright Delicious kombucha! Very friendly and professional staff and would recommend them to anyone looking for bulk co2 in a heartbeat!”

Manage your Waste Water facility with CO2 instead of Acid
Think your Waste Water facility is too small to consider using CO2 instead of acid?
Think again!
For many years, strong acids were used to control pH levels in water treatment facilities, most commonly, sulfuric acid. Acid products do the job, but have many potential problem: acids are difficult to control and are potentially dangerous to store and handle.
Corrosive acid requires special materials for equipment and piping. Maintenance of systems demands frequent component repairs and replacement. Carbon dioxide (CO2), on the other hand, is safe to handle, easy to apply, efficient, and ecologically safe. When pH control is critical to your process or effluent quality, you can trust the CO2.
Advantages: There are a number of benefits that result from the use of carbon dioxide to control pH. The proposed system to adjust and control pH using carbon dioxide will reduce costs, reduce safety hazards, eliminate corrosion, improve pH control, and minimize maintenance.
Tri-State Carbonation will install a system for your application to adjust and control wastewater pH. Carbon dioxide will be injected in a manner that will provide good gas/liquid mixing for efficient dissolution and sufficient residence time for the hydrolysis of the carbon dioxide. Appropriate instrumentation and controls on the CO2 system will ensure the desired pH level control.
Contact the Tri-State Carbonation Service Engineer Team to determine if carbon dioxide is best for your pH control application.
Tri-State Carbonation Service visits the Cannabis World & Business Expo in New York City
June 5, 2018 – We can’t imagine we’d have a booth at the Cannabis World Congress and Business Expo if you would have asked us a couple years ago, but here’s Joe & Steve of our Tri-State Carbonation Service division at our booth inside the Javits Center in Manhattan this week. 
Our bulk CO2 delivery division primarily delivers for beverage carbonation in restaurants, bars & microbreweries – but we also deliver CO2 to marijuana grow facilities since plants like a bit more CO2 in the air during photosynthesis to grow faster & fuller. Thank you to the TCS team for representing us at one of the largest business-to-business trade show events for the cannabis industry!
Learn more about our bulk CO2 side use in grow houses. You can also call us at 866-Soda-Gas.
Nitro Coffee – Let TCSCO2 Supply the Nitrogen
Looking for a new business opportunity for your restaurant or beverage service? Have you thought about serving a beverage that appeals to the younger generation? How about adding Nitro Coffee to your mix. Like thick heady beer (think Guinness), nitrogenated coffee is available “on-tap” and specially designed cans. The nitrogen infused cold brew is released through a pressurized draft system that creates tiny bubbles for a creamy effect.
Much like typical cold brew, nitrogen infused coffee is extremely smooth and low in acidity, but it has a uniquely silky mouthfeel. This is because nitrogen gas doesn’t dissolve in liquids as well as carbon dioxide, so the bubbles in a nitrogen infused beverage are much smaller. This gives nitro drinks a foamy rather than bubbly effect.
Most fans of the nitro-brew consume it black, either straight up or poured over ice, relying on the natural creaminess of the product rather than the addition of dairy. 
Visual Appeal
Many shops market and sell nitrogenated coffee using its appearance. As it’s pulled from a tap, it produces a coffee cascade of careening bubbles that is undeniably beautiful. The cascade effect, which is also apparent in nitro beers, arises because the nitrogen bubbles are so tiny that they are easily pushed around the glass by the flowing liquid.
Coffee? Health benefits??
It’s true! According to the Wall Street Journal, younger consumers say they view cold coffee as a healthier alternative to energy drinks and soda. Businesses – take notice! The energy drink worldwide market is expected to grow substantially hitting over $70 billion according to PRNewswire (10/17/2018).
The real benefit is natural flavor instead of additives like sugar and artificial sweeteners found in other drinks. While it’s not unusual to see someone put a ton of sugar into a traditional coffee, you’ll be hard-pressed to find someone add sugar to a nitro cold brew. That’s because the nitro foam hits the tongue in spots that give the perception of sweetness without the need for sugar or dairy creamers.
Added benefit – no acid reflux? Cold brews are very low in acid, benefitting coffee drinkers who tend to get heartburn or have sensitive stomachs.
So if you are ready to add a new beverage to your line up that appeals generationally, contact us for more information. We’ll help you get set up with the nitrogen gas that you need.
