Sir, Sir, I know Sir .... leave the pump running.

Not even warm, it's simpler than that and NOTHING is turned on or left running.

OK, got it now ... turn the processor up-side-down so the glycerine settles and sets at the top, then turn the right way up to drain the bio.

Got me curious too.

Use KOH?
Drain the Glyc first?

I thought we were talking ASM and leaving it WITH the glyc still on board.

Julian, you're getting colder than the Antarctic on a winters day.

It really is simple.

Ah, so this doesn't apply to NaOH Methoxide?

You're such a tease.

You're such a tease.

KOH makes no difference so yes it will work on catalysts that solidify as the temperature drops.

A clue, though you shouldn't need one, think Sg.

I'm going over to the skunk works now so I'll check out your thoughts later.

Still no ideas then?

I've used the idea before and it works a treat.

No, it can be used on any reactor.

Come on, you lot ain't thinking.

Whatever happened to the lateral kind.

A sealed container connected to the bottom drain of the reactor larger than the volume of the glycerol with
a tap above the glycerol level to drain the bio

Probably just a valved suction inlet before the pump, stick the pipe in the glyc, open valve to pump and away it goes.

Give him the money Mable.

You don't need a valve to return the bio, as the heavier glyc drops in the bio returns back up the same pipe.

To make things easier use 22mm pipe and valve.
