Wanting to build a GL's Ecosystem processor.Plan on using an air compressor tank (approx. 340 litres).Not sure how to determine what size pump and at what angle to fabricate the cone bottom? Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Get a pump that has a high flow rate 80ltr/min plus, it will give a good rate of turnover thus mixing. It will also help when it come to the venturi,

The bottom cone, 45deg works very well, all my processors are fitted with that angle.

About cone bottoms.
When Davis Clements (of the ISU Workshop five)was asked what was the best angle he stated flat-out 60 degrees. Anything less would not drain properly. Glyceral is thick and something about the coefficient of friction.
I know it takes more material and takes up alot more space height-wise but it works so much easier.
Goodluck
