Okay so I gave a member the idea to use stainless parts to make a bunchner funnel system. How would you guys simplify this to be smaller but still as effective.
It must hold 6 gallons of ethanol. 6×6 holds a gallon.
I’m actually building a vacuum systematic column for another member in a consultation if you’d like dm we can work something out. I can more than likely exceed the need.
I’ve spent the last week or so trying to build and price out a very similar setup as well. I also planned to do gaskets instead of a disk/filter plate, but worried that removing and thoroughly cleaning the gasket would take longer than simply swapping out a filter paper. Any reason you chose a micron gasket over a filter plate?
Hi,
It looks like 6 gal of h20 will occupy 1386 cubic inches.
A regular 12x12 sanitary spool will hold 1357.17 cubic inches of h20, that comes close, but dosen’t allow for any headspace to account for foaming or any whoops factor.It looks like a 12x15 spool would be ideal for your receiver with 1696.4 cubic inches.
One thing not to forget is the +14.7 psi atmosphere we live in, a large diameter filter plate will need to be built strong.
