Years ago I worked in one of the top bakeries in the country. When we would filter the oil in the fryer, we would put fryer filter powder in the fryer to cause the particulate to precipitate out of solution. Has anyone ever tried this?

I would like to use something like that for my slurry buckets. I let the rock dust settle out of my water buckets before dumping it in a hole in the woods. If I don't let the solids settle out, they clog up the sand and the hole doesn't drain. I would like to get the water to settle faster and more thoroughly.

It was fryer filter powder, but it has to get to around 350 degrees in order for it to work from what I can tell. An old deep fryer will easily do that, but water at that temp is steam.

A friend uses nylon stockings as a sieve.

That is actually pretty course. I used a maple syrup filter which removed a lot more really fine stuff than I expected a while ago.
This however might cause much of the fine stuff to clump together and fall to the bottom very fast. As in a minute or so.

Assuming that it worked, of course.

Well, if it reacts to carbon, it won't work for rock oil.
