Conclusions

In addition to obtaining the funding that will be necessary for commercializing the process, three activities need to be completed:

  • • Complete testing (optimize the process, including temperature; define the reaction products, components in waste streams, and purities of the product streams; and determine the effect of contaminants and their effectiveness as catalysts).

  • • Define effective materials for constructing the process.

  • • Complete the market analysis to determine the equipment and operating costs, the process size, and return on investment.
