Inline gas/liquid infusion system with adjustable absorption output and self-tuning capacity

An inline gas/liquid infusion system (10) comprising:

• an inline gas liquid absorption device (5), and
• a pump (1) for providing incoming liquid to the inline gas liquid absorption device (5), characterized by
• a liquid pressure sensing device (2),
• a gas pressure sensing device (3), and
• an electronic control logic subsystem (4) having a signal processor (12) configured to:
• receive from the liquid pressure sensing device (2) signaling containing information about a liquid pressure of an incoming liquid provided from the pump (1) to the inline gas liquid absorption device (5);
• receive from the gas pressure sensing device (3) signaling containing information about a gas pressure of an incoming gas provided to the inline gas liquid absorption device (5);
• determine corresponding signaling containing information to control the liquid pressure of the incoming liquid provided from the pump (1) to the inline gas liquid absorption device (5), based upon the signaling received from the liquid pressure sensing device (2) and from the gas pressure sensing device (3);
• and
• control the pump (1) based on the corresponding signaling determined in order to provide real time adjustable set point output levels of gas absorption in the inline gas liquid absorption device (5),
• wherein the signaling received contains information about the liquid pressure sensed and the gas pressure sensed;
• and
• the signal processor (12) is configured to determine the real time adjustable set point output levels of the gas absorption by monitoring the signaling received and adjusting the liquid pressure of the incoming liquid provided from the pump (1) to the inline gas liquid absorption device (5) based upon a differential pressure between the liquid pressure sensed and the gas pressure sensed.
