I’ve gotten down the membranes and housings etc. I hear the high the psi the higher brix you can push out?!?!? Setting up something for 300psi seems pretty easy with a pro-con fluid-o-tech or a Goulds multi stage with a low pressure feeder. I see a lot of these membranes are rated up to 600psi and I’m finding frp vessels that will take 1000psi. So if I wanted to get into the 500-550 psi range so where between 4-600gal/hr what pumps are being used. Looks like there multi stage boosters paired in line? Can the pump housings handle being plumbed in series?
I have a 30x8 leader with revolution pans. I’m going to have about 550 taps for 2021. 2022 around 1200 taps with expansion each year to a certain point untill 2500 taps I would say thats all I want to get into.
I love the idea of a smaller rig, I’m mainly a one man show and it’s just easy to run and clean. My thought is higher the brix the least likely to have to get a larger evap. Most small units on the market seem to be more in the 200psi range? I know I could do a steam away........ but at that point I’d most likely just want to buy a larger rig. The steam always are super awesome but the resale value just isn’t there just for the unit and the over all value of the rig doesn’t really go up compared to the $10g you spend on them.
Any input would be great
