GOOD EVENING TO YOU; I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE IS A FORMULA THAT ALLOWS CALCULATING THE CARBON TRANSFER TIME. HERE ARE DIFFERENT PARAMETERS:
SETPOINT 21G / L
TRANSFER PUMP FLOW: 60L / S
VOLUME OF THE TANK: 4000M3.

Yes there are some rather complicated set of formula but this is all academic and has very little use in real world. The best approach to me is by setting up experiment where you collect the solution during adsorption  data and draw a curve to define your retention time. Please note that may change drastically when using new carbon or old carbon even if it has been regenerate.

Hello, everyone! Epiphane, do you know a flow of carbon (g/hour or kg/hour) in your sorption train(how much carbon you take out from train in time to desorption)? 

If you know this and take in account your parameters, your pump transfers with pulp 1260 gram of carbon in sec. So when you divide your carbon flow on 1260 g/s, you get time for transfer carbon from one tank to another.

Thank you, I have no idea about the flow of carbon, how to determine that?
I would like to know the procedure to have the 1260gram per liter, can I have the formula please
