Among the numerous services that today should be performed only by specialized companies and organizations, refilling cylinders with carbon dioxide is in demand among customers from a variety of fields and industries. CO2 cylinders are used today not only in manufacturing enterprises where professional welding work is carried out, but also in the catering and customer service industries, where carbon dioxide is needed to carbonate various drinks.
Why should CO2 refilling be carried out only by specialized organizations that have approvals and licenses to carry out this work? What subtleties and nuances should be taken into account when filling with this gas?
Refilling CO2 cylinders – features and important aspects
Carbon dioxide, located in a metal cylinder under pressure, remains in precisely this state, which is optimal for use in a wide variety of areas. It is high pressure that allows carbon dioxide to be in a liquid state, because under other conditions, carbon dioxide immediately turns into a gaseous state.
Refilling with carbon dioxide can be performed many times, so this service is extremely convenient and in demand among a large number of private clients and large companies operating in a variety of areas. Although recharging can be done many times, at each subsequent session, specialists should carefully inspect for integrity or the presence of defects that indicate that the container is unsafe for pumping CO2 under high pressure.
In what areas can CO2 cylinders be used effectively today?
The scope of use of cylinders filled with carbon dioxide is quite extensive. The maximum consumption of this material is observed when performing welding work at enterprises or in public utilities involved in the maintenance of residential and industrial facilities. Typically, carbon dioxide is not used in work as an independent gas, but to achieve optimal performance characteristics, it is mixed with argon or other substances to perform specific work or other tasks.
In the food industry, CO2 cylinders are used to carbonate drinks and various liquids. In private houses and apartments, as well as public institutions or children's institutions, refilling CO2 for an aquarium in small cylinders allows you to:
- Make plants and algae healthier, lush and beautiful;
- Reduce the pH level, which both plants and fish really like;
- Ensure high-quality photosynthesis necessary for the health and functioning of the inhabitants of the aquarium.
Also, cylinders filled with CO2 gas are successfully and effectively used for air guns and all other accessories used for shooting.
Features, advantages and benefits of CO2 cylinders
Metal cylinders into which carbon dioxide is filled under pressure are used not only for this gas, but also for many other substances. The main features and advantages of such containers in various industries are:
- Possibility of repeated use, due to which the containers can serve without replacement or repair for many years;
- After using one type of gas, the cylinder can be effectively used for another mixture, which makes the design universal;
- Increased strength and reliability due to the optimal thickness of the metal used for their manufacture;
- For a smooth, accurate and economical supply of CO2 or other gas, a practical valve is used, the quality of which is carefully checked at each refueling.
Although such containers are optimal and efficient, and are also used in a wide variety of areas of production, industry and even in domestic conditions, it is worth considering some points related to their transportation, storage and operation.
Among them:
- To store refilled cylinders, it is necessary to use a specially equipped place or room with effective ventilation;
- A visual check of valves, fittings and taps through which gas is supplied must be carried out before each use;
- The cost of capacitive tanks is quite high, so when purchasing you will have to spend a considerable amount of money;
- Transportation of a filled tank should only be carried out with reliable and high-quality fastening on board the vehicle in order to avoid accidents during transportation.
How is refueling done?
In specialized organizations providing such services, filling cylinders with carbon dioxide can be done by pouring the substance from one container to another. To carry out such an operation, you will need to use fittings, adapters or hoses. To determine as accurately as possible how much carbon dioxide was filled, you need to weigh the empty tank, and after the operation, weigh it again.
Another method, most often used in organizations and companies, is injection using special equipment or a compressor. With its help, the task is performed as quickly and accurately as possible, due to the fact that the equipment is equipped with pressure gauges and sensors.
Despite the fact that such a procedure can be performed by the user himself, without resorting to the services of specialists, violation of safety regulations or other conditions can lead to serious consequences and accidents.

Why is CO2 deficient in an aquarium?
Look at the biotope of any natural fresh water body. There are usually few aquatic plants there, and they sit sparsely, and the bottom is covered with organic sediments, in which a variety of micro- and macroorganisms, mainly invertebrates, live in abundance. And there are plenty of fish and tadpoles... And all of them - from microorganisms that process bottom sediments to fish and frogs - release significant amounts of CO2 into the water. A different matter is a typical planted aquarium, which, as a rule, is densely planted with plants, and there are few and small fish in it (because most large fish spoil the plants). The usual population of our aquariums is small schooling characinka and guppies with platies, which, due to their small size and slow metabolism of carbon dioxide, emit very little carbon dioxide.
But in our ordinary aquariums there is plenty of light, and usually there is also enough nitrogen and phosphorus. So it turns out that CO2 becomes the “limiting factor”. Some plants, when deficient, are simply inhibited in growth and eventually die, while others have adapted to extract CO2 from minerals themselves, decomposing bicarbonates dissolved in any water. In this case, insoluble calcium salts are formed as a “by-product”, which fall out on the leaves of such plants in the form of a rough, unsightly crust (on which unicellular diatoms quickly settle). This trick can be performed by elodeas, anubias, hornworts and some other species that live naturally in stagnant bodies of water and are faced with periodic carbon dioxide deficiency there. So if we want the plants to look like in the pictures on the Internet, and not to be skinny, sad and drooping tails covered with limescale and algal growth, then willy-nilly we will have to think about adding carbon dioxide to the aquarium.
If you are accustomed to approaching such problems more meticulously, and my brief explanations do not convince you, I advise you to refer to the scientific article at this link, in which all this is explained in detail from the point of view of chemistry and biochemistry:
- Carbon dioxide and carbonate water system. Part 1.
- Carbon dioxide and carbonate water system. Part 2.
Let's move on to practice. But first, a little warning:
What does enriching water with carbon provide?
After applying carbon dioxide, you will notice how the vegetation comes to life and begins to produce twice as much oxygen. This will be noticeable: oxygen bubbles will come off the leaves and stems. Vegetation growth will accelerate, the stems will become stronger, and the leaves will become richer.
The condition of the fish will change and, under the influence of carbon dioxide supplied in the required quantities, they will revive. If the fish become lethargic and inactive, the CO2 supply should be stopped for a while to avoid oversaturation. If there is too much carbon, algae will appear. If the gas supply is not stopped, they will fill the entire water column, preventing the normal life of aquatic inhabitants. When algae appears, the CO2 supply must be stopped.
If you have installed a system for supplying CO2 to the aquarium, do not forget to monitor the gas content and monitor the condition of the aquarium and its inhabitants. To monitor the level of carbon dioxide in the aquarium, it is necessary to measure the acidity daily. Experts recommend measuring acidity twice a day: morning and evening.
If there is an excess of carbon dioxide, the water may become cloudy and the health of the fish will worsen. Before installing a homemade product, it is recommended to consult with experienced aquarists who will evaluate the feasibility of using the device.
