CO2 Reactor

CO2 Reactor is a very simple, efficient and economical reactor used to inject carbon dioxide under pressure into water. The general principal is to get the CO2 to have as long a contact as possible with the water to give it time to dissolve.

CO2 Reactor mainly consisits of:

CO2 production vessel CO2 hose Non return valve Bubble chamber Unique pump

Working of the CO2 Reactor

• CO2 enters the reactor through a hole drilled into the tube.
  
  
• The CO2 is then forced downards by the pump.
  
  
• The foam stops any bubbles from entering the water but water can pass through.
  
  
• This forces the bubbles to be churned around in a little 'chamber'.
  
  
• This added agitation and time in contact with the water, more efficiently diffuses the CO2.

Tips for using a CO2 Reactor

• In order to maximize the benefit of injecting CO2 it is important to reduce any surface turbulence as this will quickly allow dissolved CO2 to escape into the air.
  
  
• For efficient functioning turn of any aerators.
  
  
• Lower any spray bars below the water line.
  
  
• Direct the current to run around the sides of the reactors.
  
  
• An increased CO2 concentration will not displace dissolved oxygen from the water.
  
  
• Do not unplug the co2 system at night.
