CO2 Scrubber for demin tanks

I seek advice on the best economic option for scrubbing CO2 off air during the demin water tanks' 'inbreathing', when the tank is being emptied. Mine is to come up with a system that will purify the air off CO2 so as not to contaminate the demin water inside the tank during the tanks' drawdown.
I know there is a system whereby the tank vent is connected to a line that goes into a pot filled with a KCl solution. The air then enters through this KCl pot, passes through the KCl solution, into the line which then routes the air to the tank, now my problem with this option is that we might have to re-design the tank vent as one needs to consider the hydraulic effects of this "new" line that connects the vent to the KCl pot.
Please advice on possible options.
