Abstract

Included herein is a carbon dioxide delivery system. The system may include any of the following: (1) a body of a liquid; (2) a carbon dioxide recapture element in communication with the body; (3) a carbon dioxide generator in communication with the recapture element; and (4) a carbon dioxide effluent line exiting the generator and in communication with the body. Also included is a process of delivering carbon dioxide. The process includes capturing a first gas having a measurable amount of carbon dioxide from a body of liquid. The method also includes transmitting the first gas to a carbon dioxide generator and delivering a carbon dioxide enriched gas to the liquid.

Claims (31)

1 . A carbon dioxide delivery system comprising:

a. A body of a liquid;

b. A carbon dioxide gas recapture element in communication with the body;

c. A carbon dioxide generator in communication with the recapture element; and

d. A carbon dioxide effluent line exiting the generator and in communication with the body.

2 . The system of claim 1 wherein the liquid comprises at least one of water, a solvent, and combinations thereof.

3 . The system of claim 1 wherein the body comprises one selected from an aquarium, a fish pond, a shrimp pond, a field of growing at least one agriculture product.

4 . The system of claim 1 wherein the system includes an air in-take.

5 . The system of claim 1 further including a gas chamber in communication with both the body of liquid and the generator.

6 . The system of claim 1 wherein the body of liquid includes a dissolving element in communication with the effluent, thereby receiving carbon dioxide generated in the generator.

7 . The system of claim 1 wherein the recapture element disposed below a top surface of the body of liquid.

8 . The system of claim 1 wherein the generator includes a dissolving element in communication with the recapture element, thereby cycling carbon dioxide containing gas into the generator.

9 . A process of delivering carbon dioxide comprising:

a. Capturing a first gas having a measurable amount of carbon dioxide from a body of liquid;

b. Transmitting the first gas to a carbon dioxide generator

c. Delivering a carbon dioxide enriched gas to the liquid.

10 . The method of claim 9 further comprises generating carbon dioxide.

11 . The method of claim 10 further comprises dissolving at least a portion of the carbon dioxide enriched gas in the body of liquid.

12 . The method of claim 11 further comprises dissolving first gas in the generator.

13 . The method of claim 9 passing the first gas and the carbon dioxide enriched gas through a mixing chamber.

14 . An aquatic system comprising:

a. An aquarium;

b. A carbon dioxide generator;

c. A carbon dioxide generator line in communication with the generator and the aquarium; and

d. An aquarium effluent in communication with the generator.

15 . The system of claim 14 wherein the aquarium having a dissolving element disposed in communication with the carbon dioxide generator line.

16 . The system of claim 15 wherein the generator includes a dissolving element disposed in communication with the aquarium effluent.

17 . The system of claim 15 wherein the dissolving element includes at least one air stone.

18 . The system of claim 14 further comprising a mixing chamber disposed to communicate carbon dioxide generated from the generator to the aquarium.

19 . The system of claim 14 wherein the system includes an in-take for ambient air.

20 . The system of claim 14 wherein the aquarium and the effluent aligned to create an air in-take for the system.
