Thank you

I had no idea what that picture was lol. I thought at first you posted a picture of some pillows.
Glad you got the b80 bro!

Please tell me the difference between attapulgite clay and bentonite. The fact that it has acid make me believe it’s similar to activated carbon, please continue to be a dick tho as it is very helpful.
Just looked at the bag again and I’m pretty sure it says attapulgite clay and/ or bentonite but my translation could be wrong.

Really bro? T-41 counts as activated bentonite but perform 6000 cant be called that lol it’s literally what you just said bentonite clay activated with sulfuric acid
@Shadownaught correct me if I’m wrong but t41 is what replaced c bleach, consisting of bentonite clay, carbon and citric acid?
Cbleach was just a trade name for T41, its bentonite activated with organic acid and 10% activated carbon added.
The degumming clay(DGC) is bentonite impregnated with citric acid.

4:1 upto 6:1. I judge on the go.

Any thoughts on the perform 6000? Loading up a column tomorrow to test it against the original recipe
Attapulgite clay is of a diffrent structure than that of bentonite
Atappulgite clay will there for not create a self filtering cake
So a good filter media must be used
Acid in clays
When clays are activated treu heat (200-250C) the develop acidic property s but some clays are not only activated treu heating but also washing with an acid in perform 6000 it is with H2so4
It therefor has a high ph of 2/2.6
Wich is great for end products that will not be heated for chances are that if heated isomerization may occure
Another most likely benefit from perform 6000 is that high ph favors crystelization so that might help
https://pubs.iied.org/pdfs/G00556.pdf?
Attapulgite clay have a nano tubular structure in the 4-5 angstrom range witch give it water absorbing property s
Wich might benefit the molecular sieves to dry out our gas for the water does not get to the collection pot

So how was I wrong saying perform 6000 is like activated bentonite?
Here was the first use of Perform last week by accident, it was mixed with another brand of bentonite magsil and silica gel. First few slabs from the cartridge all crystallized and then oxidized pink/purple within 2 days. Running the standard recipe today as a control then will try the perform in place of the t5

With it having such a low ph do you think it would benefit to have the magsil on bottom rather then on top like the original recipe?
I would leave out magsil if no pesticide remediation is neccesary and it s a expensive powder
Guess I would yust do a solo run of preform6000 in a 1:1 ratio of expected oil by weight
Then ad silica 60 and then activated alumina
And at last diffrent bentonites
Several cases have been told where mixing clays of diffrent types give unstable consistency
Have you dryied the perform in an oven ?
As B80 it has a 10% water content and
I think that for attapulgite this is a diffrance in how well it can work
do you have weights of each media that youre using? also are you using a press to pack down your media.
im I the only one who runs cold with only sillica and t41 and is achieving clear results with about 40g sil 80 g t5 in a 3 inch reducter per 900g bio

Have any pics to share?
For that ratio, about 13% powder to biomass, that’s pretty good if you are getting water clear. The crc sop calls for about 20% powder to biomass.
I’ve yet to get clear, but haven’t run those two powders together yet.
its been pretty easy to be honest, you just cant really give it a whole lot of pressure real fast.

Open the valve half way? I am trying to limit to flow at first as well, but maybe I’m not doing it enough5.
Btw, not doubting what you’re saying at all, sorry if it came off that way.
