We will be pushing the technology to an even smaller scale with a goal of meeting the needs for communities all the way down to 100 people. That will require developing new fabrication techniques for both flocculation and filtration (filter in a pipe).
We are exploring options for developing an AguaClara business to separate the implementation side from the R&D effort. Of course, the goal is to keep communication between implementation and R&D so that we can continue to improve the technologies based on feedback from the field.
