Ive been searching the site for info on baffling a 650l ibc, and theres a lot of good infomation,it seems alot of people do it but it just doesnt seem to add up to me. The general sensus of opinion seems to be that you should insert drain pipe or similar so producing a honeycomb effect. This requires putting in as many pieces as is possible so as they dont move about. Now the internal size of the tank is about 800mm x 1200mm and 1000mm high,which means that if using standard 4" (100mm)diametre pipe, you could in theory put in upto 96 sections 1000mm in length. ( ie 12x8=96). Wickes are selling pipe at about £7 for a 3m length which means you would need 32 lengths.
,which equates to £224
. Now I appreciate that the final total of sections would be less than this with juggling it about, but its still going to need a lot. Given that the idea of using an ibc rather than new baffled tank, is to save wonga,I guess I must have got my theory wrong somewhere or else so many people wouldnt have gone down this route. Could someone please explain how many pieces of pipe they used for theirs and an idea of costs. Cheers Nick
