>>>Oh, and how much would it cost to built a "carbonator" and much more importantly how fast could one be built, hypothetically. You never know how many new "carbonators" might be needed in this academic discussion of unlikely scenarios.<<<
I would estimate that to get maybe 10% of the World market in down-hole & tank cleaning solvent, you would be looking at 1,000 to 3,000 barrels per day of NR-206. If a single machine produces 30 to 35 barrels per day....do the math. Without outsourcing carbonator production, you might get 60 machines per year, and their cost is moot, as payback per machine is much less than one year.
