CO2 or the carbon dioxide is a type of gas which is odorless and is colorless and this is considered to be vital in the lives on Earth. The most common natural resources are hot springs, geysers, and volcanoes. And since carbon dioxide is water soluble, it may occur naturally in rivers, ice caps, seawater, groundwater, lakes, and glaciers. It is also present in the deposits of natural gas and petroleum.

Nowadays, CO2 is used widely by many industries from Chicago and these industries include those that specialize chemicals, foods, and oils. The varying of this compound will depend upon its different commercial purposes such as utilizing it as one chemical when producing the carbonated beverages. An example of this beverage is soda water. A system like a CO2 refill Chicago will become more and more popular because advantages are arising.

The purpose of these refilling systems is for the people to easily refill this compound into any uses such as for flat tires. Some of the advantages of these systems would include fast because it can fill up the tire faster compared to a pump, less effort, possibly having lesser weight, and lower value for initial investment because valves and cartridges are cheaper than pumps. However, this may also have some disadvantages.

Consumable cartridges. Filling up often may end up changing the cartridges several times, thus, having higher costs. No back up. At times when you are patching the flat tire but then you are not able to get the process right, you may possibly have no way on filling it up anymore. You may carry an extra cartridge, but with this, you cannot take advantage on losing the weight.

Usually, the compound is limited only for use in specific kinds of tires. Large sized tires get less pressure. It is not that friendly as well. There are cases where in your friend might be getting the tires flat, surely, you can hardly decide whether to loan him or her the remaining cartridge you have. If you have a pump, then it would be better. Lastly, going low fast. Carbon dioxide seeps into the tubes faster than the air.

CO2 also has many other purposes. First is for the chemicals to be used as precursor. In chemical industries, the ingredient is mainly consumed for producing urea. There are also smaller fractions being utilized for producing the methanol and also other ranges of products.

It is also an additive to foods in a food industry. It is used as acidity regulator and propellant. This can be produced also from yeast during the fermentation of sugar in the dough then the chemical leaveners like baking soda and baking powder release a carbon dioxide if heated or exposed into acids.

It is also an ingredient for the production of carbonated drinks and soda water. Traditionally, the sparking wines and a beer carbonation is from a natural fermentation. Most of the manufacturers carbonate drinks using CO2, recovered during the process of fermentation.

In the process of wine making, CO2 in a form of a dry ice will be used for cooling down the grape clusters quickly right after picking. This can help in the prevention of spontaneous fermentation due to wild yeast. The advantage of dry ice is cooling the grapes without the need to add water that can decrease the concentration of sugar and alcohol.
