System and Method for Carbon Monitoring and Management in Water Systems

A system comprising:

• a measuring receptacle;
• a sensor system;
• a control system with or more computer-readable mediums storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more computer processors, cause the control system to perform operations comprising:
• enclosing water within the measuring receptacle of the first monitoring system, with the water at a filled level that leaves a defined gas portion within the measuring receptacle;
• collecting sensor data from the water and the defined gas portion comprising:
• measuring carbon concentration of the gas portion, and
• measuring water conditions including at least water temperature, water conductivity, and water pH;
• after the water reaches an equilibrium state within the receptacle, determining dissolved inorganic carbon concentration state based on the carbon concentration, temperature, water conductivity, and water pH.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by one or more computer processors of a computing platform, cause the computing platform to perform operations comprising:

• at a first monitoring system, enclosing water within a receptacle of the first monitoring system, with the water at a filled level that leaves a defined gas portion within the receptacle;
• collecting sensor data from the water and the defined gas portion comprising:
• measuring carbon concentration of the gas portion, and
• measuring water conditions including at least water temperature, water conductivity, and water pH;
• after the water reaches an equilibrium state within the receptacle, determining dissolved inorganic carbon concentration state based on the carbon concentration, temperature, water conductivity, and water pH.
