I do get it. Just don't see any benefit of hearing you say the same thing over and over . You've filled pages with your opinions and mistatements and convoluted views of bacterial reactions and chemistry,misrepresentation of my statements and those of others while shifitng your own and on and on. Enough. There are pages of this type of gibberish already:
continue to remove the same quantity of nitrate daily ........ when the incoming water contains less nitrate...
that's nonsensical and doesn't warrant a response. So is this:
Your opinion is more sulfur and more sulfur not much else ; I disagree. The needed sulfur volume relates to the volume of nitrate in the water.
Several folks have discussed this with an open mind and thoroughly starting back at post 1249 but any rational fact based discussion is dismissed or misrepresented or replaced by your opinions and musings presented as absolute fact. Your posts are full of bad stuff about the chemistry and bacterial activity and inconsistent in most respects . Going over it all again is pointless and displaces any potential learning from more pithy inquiries.
I just want to know how you will remove the same quantity of nitrate daily with less sulfur when the nitrate level in the system descends because that is your statement . For me it is a logic concept that the minimal quantity of sulfur needed is based on the daily to remove quantity of nitrate which has nothing to see with the nitrate level in the system. As in your eyes it is a non essential question, I can except a non essential answer. What is the benefit of all knowledge if one can or will not accept logic.
Question: System volume = 1000l. Daily nitrate production is 1ppm = 1000mg daily. Nitrate level in the system is 40ppm. To make it possible for the reactor to remove the daily production a volume 25 liter of water has to pas the reactor daily. At a level of 10 ppm a volume of 100 liter of water has to pass the reactor to remove the nitrate production daily. At a nitrate level of 1ppm a volume of 1000l has to pass the reactor daily to remove the same daily production of 1ppm.
At your point of view the quantity of sulphur is related to the nitrate level so there will be less sulphur needed in the reactor at 1ppm as initially necessary at 40ppm. That is what you are saying, correct?
But there is still 1000mg nitrate to remove daily to keep the level at 1ppm and 1000l of water to threat instead of 25 litre to be able to continue to remove the daily production daily.
When the level of nitrate descends more water, more flow, has to pass the reactor to make it possible for the reactor to remove the same quantity of nitrate daily. More time and place is needed to deplete the increased quantity of oxygen so the reactor must be big enough!
I am sorry that I have to repeat the same over and over but your previous answers on my questions proves, from my point of view, the necessity of my doings.
A lot of to small sulfur reactors are used which may result in problems because they are easily mismanaged. When reactors are used that are big enough problems will occur only when provoked by the user due to severe mismanagement.
What you are telling leads to mismanagement!
The only reason acceptable for decreasing the reactors volume and/or sulfur quantity is when the daily production decreases drastically or that the reactor was well over-sized to begin with. In all cases, one still has to know how big it should be and that is "Big enough!"
