How much biodiesel will one pound of BD-Zorb treat? |
One pound of BD-Zorb will treat 70 to 100 Gallons of biodiesel. (based on an average of 1500 ppm of hydrophilic contaminants) Results will vary based on level of impurities and flow rates. |
How many pounds of BD-Zorb are required? |
One pound of BD-Zorb is required for every gallon per hour of biodiesel flow. |
How do I size/design exchange vessels? |
Use a minimum bed depth of 48 inches and a maximum 72 inches. The diameter should be based on the desired throughput per hour with consideration of the rate of one pound of BD-Zorb per gallon of biodiesel flow. |
How do I know when my BD-Zorb is exhausted? |
Monitor soap levels, pressure drop and turbidity. |
What are the safety considerations? |
First, you must read the MSDS before handling the product. Remember to protect yourself from wood dust. Dust can explosive with an ignition source. The spent media cannot be composted. |
