| The new state-of-the-art seawater system is taking shape at KML, designed to accommodate Ocean Acidification research. |
 |
| Phase One - Constructing the degassing system (FWC Facilities Improvement Funds). March 2013: The delivery of the 2500-gal concrete holding tank. Epoxy paint was applied to seal the concrete, allowed to cure and then the concrete lid was set in place. |
 |
| Sept 2013: Then the installation of the degassing tower and the blower unit |
 |
| Phase Two - Build-out of experimental treatment tanks (NSF Facilities Improvement Grant). Nov 2014: Heater/Chiller units delivered and placed on platform |
 |
| Dec 2014: Constructing frames to hold seawater tables |
 |
| A variety of 2 dozen experimental seawater tanks (45-gal to 1000-gal capacity) ready to plumb into the system. Water should be running in early 2015 and ready for use. |
