Hey Guys,
I am experimenting with my acrylic skills. So my first project was to build a fluidized carbon reactor to use with 1 mill pelletized carbon.
The first one I made is 7x7x18. It's using a RIO 800 and is fluidizing about 4.5lbs of carbon.
The second one is 9x9x20. It holds about 8 gallons of water.
I am testing it using a SEIO 820. So far it's working well with 2lbs of carbon - It is designed to hold about 10lbs of carbon.
I am going to try using a water diffusion tray on the bottom, for better flow dispersion on the bottom.
The cool thing about these, is they will go in a sump. Be super easy to yank and dump and refill. And the monster one has less that $80 is materials (including pump) and took about 90minutes to cut and assemble.
No I am not going to build these or sell them - They are just for me. People local to So Cal - MASLAC is going to have a afternoon workshop to assemble these in my yard.
Just thought I would share.
