Hello all,
I'm running BRS high capacity GFO in a BRS reactor and I had a question regarding tumbling within the reactor. I don't have much space in my sump area and the only place I can really put the reactor causes the reactor to not be fully level. The front side of the reactor doesn't really tumble at all except at the very top. The backside of the reactor tumbles very well. My concern is will the reactor still function as intended with the reactor not being fully level?

I have the exact same issue and thus far haven't seen too much a problem. I find that some of the GFO that does not tumble does tend to compact a bit but doesn't seem to affect overall performance.

I had that problem but I just turned it up a little higher. I assumed the carbon would catch any dust the gfo might make

I run two different reactors for each as carbon and GFO have different required flow rates. I have the output from both running through a filter sock before dumping into sump.
