A system delivers carbon dioxide to a sequestration facility which may have photosynthetic organisms, such as crops, plants, and trees. The system has a containment structure which houses a volume of liquid or solid carbon dioxide (dry ice). The containment structure has a containment structure inlet and a containment structure outlet. A gas source provides a fluid to the containment structure through the containment structure inlet. Upon entry into the containment structure, the gas or a saturated liquid encounters the solid or liquid carbon dioxide causing sublimation or evaporation, resulting in the formation of carbon dioxide gas or liquid which flows out of the containment structure through the containment structure outlet. The gas entering the containment structure may also have subcooled CO2 liquid or solid (snow), which replenishes the solid or liquid within the containment structure. To supplement evaporation or sublimation of the subcooled liquid or solid, heating means are used. A distribution line connected to the containment structure outlet delivers carbon dioxide gas or liquid which is flashed to gas upon release by CO2 emitters to the photosynthetic organisms.

A self-calibrating system, apparatus, and method for accurately measuring a volumetric capacity of a tank. The system, apparatus and method comprise: a mechanism that adjusts a level of a platform; a light-emitting device with beam-like optics (laser, diode, etc.) mounted to the platform; mechanism for adjusting alignment of the light-emitting device with respect to the platform; a mechanism for rotating the platform by variable angles, including by 180-degrees; one or more level sensors (such as, for example, spirit levels, tilt sensors, or other devices) that provide feedback on the alignment of the platform normal to the gravity vector.

A gas displacement assembly includes a storage container, a pump that pumps a pressurized gas material into the storage container, a cooling chamber that houses a coolant and cools the gas material to a cryogenic temperature, and a coolant line that transports coolant through the cooling chamber to cool the gas material.

The present invention is a system and method of storing various quantities of cryogenic material with lower cost than systems found in prior art. Novel feature of the system is the ability to use minimum amounts of different types of energy to maintain various quantities of cryogenic material. An additional novel feature is the use of common components and materials.

An alcohol-based solvent chiller includes an insulated vessel; a spiral-shaped heat exchanger designed specifically to chill alcohol-based solvents that become viscous at low temperatures within the insulated vessel; a cryogenic tank with pressure building capability that will force coolant through the heat exchanger at a specific pressure; and a cryogenic pump to circulate viscous cryogenic temperature liquids within the insulated vessel.

A tank including a liner; a reinforcing layer formed of fiber reinforced resin that is arranged on the liner; a label arranged on the reinforcing layer; and a surface layer formed of glass fiber reinforced resin that is arranged to cover the label. The reinforcing layer includes an inner layer, and an outer layer having a cover rate smaller than the inner layer and smaller than 100%, the cover rate being a percentage of a volume occupied by the fiber reinforced resin in space of the reinforcing layer, and the outer layer being arranged on the inner layer, and at least a part of the label is embedded in the reinforcing layer.
