Popular gases for distilleries

Learn more about the different gases commonly used in the distillery industry.

CO₂

< class="h3 text-castiglione transition-colors duration-200 group-hover:text-white">Carbon Dioxide

Produced naturally during fermentation, CO2 is also used to carbonate some spirits and in the production of carbonated alcoholic beverages. It is utilized in purging tanks and pipelines to prevent oxidation.

N₂

< class="h3 text-castiglione transition-colors duration-200 group-hover:text-white">Nitrogen

Employed for purging and blanketing tanks to displace oxygen, preventing oxidation and spoilage of the spirits. Nitrogen is also used to pressurize tanks and pipelines for transferring liquids.

O₂

< class="h3 text-castiglione transition-colors duration-200 group-hover:text-white">Oxygen

Controlled amounts may be used to aerate wort or mash to promote yeast health and fermentation efficiency. However, oxygen exposure is generally minimized after fermentation to prevent oxidation of the final product.

Ar

< class="h3 text-castiglione transition-colors duration-200 group-hover:text-white">Argon

Occasionally used for blanketing and purging, particularly in high-value or sensitive spirits to prevent oxidation and maintain product quality.

C₃H₈

< class="h3 text-castiglione transition-colors duration-200 group-hover:text-white">Propane

Utilized as a fuel for heating stills, boilers, and other distillation equipment, especially in small-scale or craft distilleries.

CO

< class="h3 text-castiglione transition-colors duration-200 group-hover:text-white">Carbon Monoxide

Not typically used directly in the distillation process but important to monitor and control, particularly in facilities using gas-powered equipment, to ensure a safe working environment.

Distillery FAQs

Learn more about the distillery gases and services we offer.

What are the most popular gases used in distilleries?

Distilleries use nitrogen to prevent oxidation during bottling and carbon dioxide (CO2) for carbonation of certain spirits.

Can I track my gas levels?

Yes. We offer real-time monitoring for most of our gas applications to make sure you never run out. Our solution provides you (and us) with accurate updates on your levels so we can optimize your gas delivery, detect leaks and other issues – saving you money while supporting our sustainability commitments.

Do you offer same-day delivery for gases used by distilleries?

Yes. We make true same-day deliveries with no qualifications. If you call at 4:55 pm and you need a same-day delivery, we will deliver that day.

Is it possible to order my distillery gases in bulk?

We offer cost-effective bulk gas solutions including nitrogen and CO2 for distilleries. Your products will be safely delivered by our modern fleet of fuel-efficient trucks, equipped for cylinder and bulk gas delivery.

Can I track my gas cylinders balance?

Yes. WestAir barcodes each cylinder and will scan each cylinder when it enters and leaves your location. This eliminates the need for you to perform time-consuming and error-prone inventory tracking. This process also guarantees accurate monthly billing statements.

Do you offer 24/7 emergency service if I run out of nitrogen or carbon dioxide (CO2) for my distillery operations?

Yes. Our dedicated account management and 24/7 emergency service is there to make a bad day better.
