Question: At what point is the CO2 dissapated into the water? (a) As the
bubble rises to the surface, (b) When the bubble breaks the surface?

TIA - Dave





using a reactor, the co2 mixes with the water as the bubbles travel up thru
a column of water that is going down thru some bio balls to help mix it up.

If the bubbles make it out of the reactor and make it to the surface of the
tank then it is wasted, it just goes into the air instead of the water. co2
does not like to mix with water, that is why a good reactor is needed.
