Thanks Jim; That IS a help. As far as the actual mixing goes there must be big variances from one design of pump to another , in just what type of impeller is used and how close the tolerances are. For my part I find my pump mixes things up very nicely in fact I can see the change in color

Thanks Jim some good info, but I couldn't find the building an orifice chamber you mentioned on the JTF website. Could you provide a link? ThanksMichael LuichNow if you go to the hardware store and buy a bag full of SSteel washers another of 1 PVC Couplings, 4 tees and 4 elbows you can increase

Hi Joe,Hi Jim, My reactor is pump mixed too,but I am using two pumps of different types-one SS from the food brand and the other is clear water-cast iron case and turbine.As far I am controlling carefully the both and I didn't`t noticed any changes,the pumps are in fine

Michael, Here are the links, http://www.cheng.cam.ac.uk/news/resnews/ChemEInterfaces6.pdf http://www.cheng.cam.ac.uk/news/2004/biodiesel.html I use a 1 dia PVC Coupling and a ss washer that just fits inside. the hole in the washer is about 1/2dia. Jim Michael Luich wrote: Thanks Jim some

Hi Joe, The Clearwater Model 01479 is rated at 330 gallons per hour or 1249 Liters per Hour when it has to lift Water no more than 0 foot before expelling it. It will lift water as much as 10 feet but you can expect the GPH or LPH to drop exponentially when you approach that much lift.. It

Hi all; I looked in the archives for info on pump size recommendations. I found a few messages relating to the clear water pump but what I am after is does anyone have a rule of thumb on pump throughput versus reactor size? I know variables such as reactor dimensions, tall vs short location

What is the pressure that those gpm ratings are taken at? I suspect the 1/2 horse pump is rated at a much higher head than your 1/20th HP pump. Also, are you sure you are getting 5gpm through a 3/8 fitting? It seems a little high for that small of pipe. On 12/7/05, Joe Street [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I am thinking the clear pump is actually 330 GPM not GPH. Joe , I just bought a 3/4 HP submersable and the well driller says it will put out 10 GPM Jerry ___ Biofuel mailing list Biofuel@sustainablelists.org

. The suggestion would be to continue the reaction for ~1/2 hour beyond the point where your glyc cocktail volume stabilized. Todd Swearingen - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: biofuel@yahoogroups.com Sent: Thursday, September 02, 2004 5:26 PM Subject: [biofuel] pump size

Between all the exchange between some of our members, I lost sight of the ideal pump size strength for mixing a 45 gallon drum of home brew (filled to 30 gal) Right now I have a 1/3 horse 1 pump. I am about to connect to my reactor. Is this in-/overly/perfectly adequate? Pierre
