dexter5 - Using the metrics from QL's MF-777 of 3,000 metric tons/ month, Sundrop would need 14 KDS's in the first year to process 500,000 tons of biomass. That would increase to a total number of ~280 machines needed by 2020 assuming they get to their projected 1 billion gallons of green gas that year.
So, if the KDS is going to be a component in their process orders would need to be in by mid 2012 in order to meet their construction time lines.
fwiw,
