Gfo and carbon

[leetdood]

Hi all,

Has anyone with limited space put both carbon and GFO into the same reactor? Can it be done?

You don't want carbon to tumble.

That's how some people do it. Mixed together but randomised so the GFO doesn't clump and as @mtnbike101 said, NOT tumbling.

And how do you not do this? I take it add the carbon in the bottom of the reactor?

maybe I wasn't clear. Mixed together randomly so the GFO can't clump together and packed in the reactor so it can't tumble. It can actually go in a canister or hangon filter if you do it that way.

Aah.. I see. Thanks.

I think they aren't mixed because the coarse GFO can grind on and release dust from the carbon. And the flow requirements for optimal GFO and Carbon use differ. Carbon should not tumble, whereas, GFO should be more of a fluidized bed.

There's an opportunity for a new product... a gfo/carbon two-compartment combo reactor.
