797 sofnolime & spherasorb Duration

[johnv]

Does anyone have any experience or figures for duration of spherasorb in relation to 797 sofnolime? (for the same scrubber configuration)

Spherasorb is much less water soluble, and has other advantages, but the larger element size theoretically means less duration. any comments or experience?

thanks
John

20% less IIRC though I reckon it breathes better than the big sofnolime, never used the small stuff so I cannot compare.

Yeah around 20%, although you have to wonder if the WOB is easier, less CO2 produced.... does that improve on it!?

i find it an easier breath than 797 8-12mesh and it packs very easily
but i haven't pushed it to break though....i've had one hit thats enough!- that was on spher sorb but i dont belive it was down to the sorb
