If a commercially viable application for the KDS-processed paper/pulp mill sludge is found, the KDS will will become standard equipment in paper mills around the world. This is one of the most exciting possibilities for the KDS. The waste stream FASC would tap into would easily exceed all the known reserves at the ALMI mine, not only once, but annually.
It won't be much longer and the STDC project, and the WRAP project will be spewing out results for the world to see.
The synergy of these two projects is incredible. STDC and the cooperating partners have or will virtually pay for the design and construction of a BEAST KDS that can process 5 TIMES the capacity of the KDS 250. You know industry eyes are on this project, because AT THE VERY LEAST the KDS WILL ELIMINATE DISPOSAL COSTS of the sludge. Then, secondly, we have the WRAP project looking at other commercially viable uses for the processed sludge which will soon be spewing out of the AGES3000, dewatered at the rate of 3000 gallons/hour. Thats almost one gallon/second.
FASC/AGES has gotten substantial governmental funding to commercialize the KDS process. Time will soon tell if this support pays off, for the enviornment, and for FASC's investors.
My money says it will.
