Yes - good thinking.
However, Agitation is going be your biggest energy expense at scale. You dont want to null that too much
Edit: For clarity - the tertiary properties !? I think I said that right - are costing you zero dollars to manipulate and agitate. Don’t add extra cost. We bout to enter a price war.
There’s a big difference in the stability of ethoxide ion and the HCO3- ion. That is to say, carbonic acid is far more acidic than ethanol is.
You are right. 100%.
Co2 is not desirable to us.
What about a tube-in-tube heat exchanger with ln2? Then feed outlet into the ethanol reservoir, draw it off the top, through a dessicant tube, to a n2 compressor, to a heat exchanger, to an expander that leads through that last heat exchanger then to the ln2 reserve
Sounds good to me. There are a few details that are needed to be sorted. Pumps/valves and stuff.
How familiar are you with optical/specific rotation and solvation effects 
Ethanol’s is -146c 
Studied it lightly in school, what’s up?
Rather then mess around you could finance one of our systems to do it without consuming LN2. Rated for -48 Deg C, will reach -60 at no load.
I’ll stick with my team of engineers.
