Food and Beverage Gases in Oklahoma City

Carbon dioxide (CO2) gas supply has been central to City Carbonic since our founding as a soda fountain service company in 1909. Over time, that range has grown to include nitrogen, dry ice, packaging gases and more. We are a Meritus Gas Partner serving Oklahoma City and the surrounding areas, including Edmond, The Village, Nichols Hills, Del City, Spencer and Bethany.

Supply That Keeps Pace With Your Operation

Food and beverage businesses run on consistent service. Whether it is a weekend rush at a bar, a high-volume event at a venue or a distribution run for a food producer, the gases that power carbonation, draft systems and cold chain logistics need to be available when the operation calls for them. City Carbonic serves restaurants, bars, breweries, caterers and other food businesses with solutions built to match the pace of how you operate.

The Food and Beverage Gases We Supply

We provide the gases businesses use at different stages of food and beverage production, from the tap room to the production floor and the delivery truck.

Our beverage CO2 in Oklahoma City carbonates sodas, sparkling water, beer and other beverages. It pressurizes draft beer kegs for consistent pours, powers soda dispensing systems and displaces oxygen in sealed containers to help preserve flavor and freshness.

Our beverage nitrogen in Oklahoma City can be used in draft beer systems and nitrogen-infused beverages to produce a creamy texture. It can also function as a filler gas in modified atmosphere packaging (MAP), where it may help reduce package collapse caused by CO2 absorption.

Dry ice, the solid form of CO2, sublimates directly to gas without leaving liquid residue. Food processors, caterers and distributors use it to chill produce, dairy, meat and seafood during storage and maintain cold chain temperatures for perishable goods while in transit.

Modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) uses blends of CO2, nitrogen and oxygen to extend the shelf life of packaged foods. CO2 slows microbial growth, nitrogen displaces air to help prevent oxidation and oxygen is used selectively for products like red meat, where it helps retain color. We offer custom modified atmosphere packaging gas blends in Oklahoma City, OK, to help you meet specific product requirements.

Supply and Delivery for Food and Beverage Operations

We offer various solutions to help you maintain a consistent gas supply:

  • Scheduled cylinder delivery: City Carbonic delivers beverage CO2 in different cylinder sizes, along with nitrogen cylinders for draft and packaging applications, on a schedule built around your usage.
  • Microbulk and bulk CO2: Our microbulk and bulk systems are on-site tanks filled directly by our delivery trucks. The microbulk option is suitable for applications with moderate needs, while bulk delivery serves the highest-volume operations.
  • Cylinder requalification: City Carbonic requalifies cylinders at our facility in Oklahoma with DOT-approved equipment.
  • Remote tank monitoring: Our telemetry system tracks inventory remotely and helps us schedule replenishment to support supply consistency.

Food and Beverage Applications

City Carbonic supplies food and beverage gases for various uses, including:

  • Carbonated beverage production: Carbonate sodas, sparkling water, beer and other beverages, so every pour matches the taste and texture your customers are looking for.
  • Draft beer systems: Use CO2 and nitrogen to maintain the pressure and pour quality that help define the tap experience.
  • Breweries: Support fermentation control, carbonation, tank transfers and packaging across the full production cycle and give your customers the results they expect.
  • Modified atmosphere packaging: Use gas blends to extend the shelf life for packaged meats, cheeses, produce and baked goods to help reduce waste and provide producers and retailers with more value out of your products.
  • Food chilling and freezing: Cool fresh and frozen products in processing and storage environments to preserve the texture, appearance and shelf life.
  • In-transit refrigeration: Keep cold chain temperatures stable for perishables during delivery and distribution, so products arrive in the same condition they left the facility.
  • Food service and restaurants: Power soda systems and keg lines to help keep service consistent during high-volume periods.
