A method for controlling the saturation level of gas in a liquid discharge includes obtaining temperature and pressure measurements of a solvent in a mixing vessel and obtaining a pressure measurement of a source feedstock in a feedstock tank, correlating the temperature and pressure measurements of the solvent to baseline data to generate a theoretical uptake rate for the source feedstock into the solvent and a theoretical flow rate of the source feedstock into the mixing vessel, and determining a required opening setting for a feedstock valve in the feedstock input line in order to achieve a desired liquid displacement in the mixing vessel. The method includes determining an uptake duration and achieving an uptake displacement equivalent to the reverse of the desired liquid displacement. The method includes generating a valve operating control law for how the feedstock valve should function in a cycle.

A wet cleaning apparatus that cleans an item with carbon dioxide gas-dissolved water produced by dissolving carbon dioxide gas in ultrapure water, the wet cleaning apparatus including: a carbon dioxide gas-dissolving unit that dissolves carbon dioxide gas in ultrapure water; a cleaning unit that cleans an item, the cleaning unit receiving carbon dioxide gas-dissolved water fed from the carbon dioxide gas-dissolving unit; and a filtration membrane module disposed on a pipe through which the carbon dioxide gas-dissolved water is fed to the cleaning unit, the filtration membrane module being filled with a porous membrane including a cationic functional group.

A method of providing a concentrate of a dissolved substance for producing a dialysis solution includes providing a container containing a solid to be dissolved, supplying water into the container for dissolving the solid, draining the concentrate of the dissolved substance from the container and topping up with water, measuring the concentration of the dissolved substance or of a parameter correlated with the concentration, and temporary or permanent suppression of the topping up of water into the container. The suppression is effected when the measured concentration value of the dissolved substance falls below a first limit value or the value of the parameter falls below or exceeds a first limit value or when the change in the concentration value of the dissolved substance or of the value of the parameter exceeds a first limit value.

A solid product dispenser can be used to form a dilute liquid solution from a block of solid concentrate. In cases where only a small amount of liquid solution is needed, the solid product dispenser may dissolve the block of solid concentrate quickly and substantially uniformly to provide a solution of controlled concentration. This can be contrast with larger dispensing applications where a dispenser may dissolve a block of concentrate slowly at the start and more rapidly as the dispensing progresses, producing a solution with an average concentration higher than if only a small amount of solution were produced using the dispenser. In one example, the solid product dispenser includes a fluid distribution reservoir and a solid product reservoir positioned inside of the fluid distribution reservoir and over a platform on which the solid product sits. High pressure fluid flows between the two reservoirs, turbulently contacting the solid product.
