Regarding the MVTG pilot plants, here is a great resource on what pilot plants are (at least in the pharmaceutical industry, and MVTG's ERC-is an electrochemical reactor and for that reason will be far simpler)!!!! In fact the pharma industry pilot plant is 100 times more complex than what MVTG needs to do. So rest assured it will be a piece of cake for the Alstom-MVTG-GE staff to pull off.

It is note worthy that in the pharmaceutical industry many biochemical reactors can not be scaled up and for that reason many small reactors are used instead of one large reactor!!!

That is one option that MVTG has and will likely use!!!!

One key reason for MVTG to use a pilot plant is not to test the MVTG patented reactor or the catalyst, as we know they work, but to test various suppliers pumps, sensors, control components, pulse DC power supplies, AC/DC converters and filters, control valves, and process control software to optimize the full scale design they already have.
