CO₂-infused water production is the process of dissolving carbon dioxide gas into water under pressure to create carbonated water.
Origin: Joseph Priestley & Joseph Bramah (18th century) — England
See full technique reference →The process relies on Henry’s law, where CO₂ solubility increases with pressure and decreases with temperature. Dissolved CO₂ reacts with water to form carbonic acid (CO₂ + H₂O ⇌ H₂CO₃), giving the beverage its characteristic acidity and effervescence. Proper temperature control, agitation, and pressure management are essential to achieve uniform carbonation and prevent CO₂ loss.
Primary Reaction
