500 lt tank as a Processor

oh i seeeee

that sounds a really good idea, dont tell james he may steal that one

any testing on this method?

wouldnt it be too fast a flow?

although isnt the idea to keep liquid hot instead of chilling it rapidly?

hmmmmm, need to get my head round that one , off to sit in corner for an hour...

if planning a condenser, you would need the air circulation, on venturis theres 2x valves bottom for pulling meth and top for air intake to get the circulation going through head space and out to condenser...

just like to share with others if people read this build keep the air intake above liquid level, as if a power cut it could syphon contents...

now all this depends how you plumb your system, just would like to share my finding when i built one...

if its been spoken of already feel free to shoot me now

No you're spot on, though it won't syphon just drain down to the side port level (as the vent must also be from the venturi port so impossible to syphon).

I always make sure the vacuum side is above liquid level to make sure my recovered Meth never gets polluted with oil/bio

RM ... most of the info is in this thread ... http://www.biopowered.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,295.msg2612.html#new

Yes, very defiantly it CAN be too bigger flow.  That's something that needs great care if the idea is used.  From my tests to date it works, but I'd only recommend it for dewatering oil and Bio.

Re keeping it hot ... yes and no ... the idea is to get the water out as quick as possible, even if it cools the oil, but from tests to date, a 3Kw immersion can keep up with the cooling effect of my compressor at full tilt and still raise the temperature slowly.  To recover a bit of heat, you can run the venturi simultaneously, which will circulate some of the vapour through the SHHE, if you have one.
 
I have considered repositioning the SHHE to recover heat from the full flow of the compressor, but that's another toit.

Theres me keeping a low profile posting the build on here and Tony posts a link to it on the VOD 
Anyway the pump brackets are on and sprayed so i should be able to assemble it tomorrow (day off) and have it running on Sat,will only be 75% finished but should be capable of making bio,will post some more pics tomorrow night

[Tony]

Want me to remove the mention on VOD Keith? Sorry if you wanted a lot profile, but it *is* an interesting build (I'm most envious of the progress you're making - mine will take months!)

No,only joking-------------------------------------------------------Grass!
I have used the edit button a bit tho 

[Rotary-Motion]

i'll be there waiting on saturday, if im not to drunk as a skunk, on those pics K

i bet it will sound like thunder rip roaring away = crakin

tony, wheres yours dude, come on pull ones finger out

[K.H]

More pics

looking really well kieth! brilliant job

got a Q though you used it yet?

[K.H]

Jeez give ma chance 
Need to calibrate the level first

Looks the dogs, well done!

However ......... is the colour scheme some form of anti theft device?

[K.H]

Just used what was about,wont matter when its insulated,have you spotted the mistake,took RM about 30 seconds and i didnt realise until i leak tested it,got covered in paint putting it right

[Rotary-Motion]

i got a Q with the over uses of not needed parts

re: the site tube, was the elbow and fittings really needed there? or could you of gone straight up Teed off pipe?

 

[Julian]

Got me beat I'm afraid ... not too easy to see minor details from the photos.

Only possible issue I can see is the sight tube seems to be capped off, but knowing you there's a very good reason for that.
