I want to test a leach tank for concentrates using just a blower for agitation. Keeping it simple I’ll use two 55 gal drums welded together (vertically), the tank will have a cone shaped bottom and be supported on legs.
A 3/4” pvc tube is placed inside a 6” pvc tube, both running down the center of the tank. Air is blown down the small tube and it’s return to the surface creates a venture effect carrying the pulp upwards inside the 6” tube and continuously “boils” at the surface.
My questions is how to spec the blower and where to buy it. I searched online but most blowers listed don’t list pressure ratings. I prefer a common grade, hopefully "off the shelf" blower, not looking to spend a fortune.
Thanks in advance.
