GFO - cloudy water?

[dmatt56]

Hello everyone

 

I am wondering if any of you have experienced cloudy water after running GFO through a reactor. The last two times I ran BRS GFO through a BRS reactor, I've had cloudy water. The water instantly cleared after turning off the reactor. Any suggestions about why the GFO might be clouding up the water - is it too much flow?

 

Thanks

Did you rinse the media?  Possibly too much flow through the reactor.  The media should slightly tumble, or low boil.

Agreed, I always rinse until I see almost nothing coming out of whatever media I'm using and then go with low flow.
