pure and process gas for the food process

Trace Analytics, LLC provides analyses for pure gases used in a variety of industries. Food packagers and food manufacturers should identify pure gas used directly and/or indirectly on or in the product. 

Impurity testing - inert gases

Impurities such as oxygen, nitrogen, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, total volatile hydrocarbons, halogenated hydrocarbons, and water can be determined for the above pure gases. We can also provide analyses of particles, water, and oil for pure gas systems.

The following are gas specifications commonly used. We can also provide a custom specification based on your requirements.

Monitoring process gas

Beverage Manufacturing

Since July of 2012, manufacturers seeking SQF certification are required to monitor the compressed air they use. Many food manufacturers are requiring proof of an air quality monitoring program from its vendors, suppliers, and packagers.

Safe Quality Food (SQF) is the first certification scheme under the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) that has officially started mandating the testing of compressed air used in the food manufacturing process in the United States.
