From the data I can find it seems to generate less dust than sofnolime, but be between the two grades for efficiency, and is between the two grades for price.
Any views?

Bob,

take a look in the archives on the KISS list, we hashed this one out about a month ago.

Spherasorb seems to run at about 10% less efficiency than 797 grade sofnolime, but its reduced WOB should in theory reduce CO2 generation.

There was some test data published against the coarser mesh lime, so using that and Molecular products own test data, you can generate that extrapolation.

Myself and a couple of other chaps are playing with it as well.
