How do you prevent scale build up, corrosion, etc from the chemicals that you're introducing into the water? For the most part, these towers probably aren't designed to deal with sustained high concentrations of some of these chemicals. If you can solve that problem, then I think you'll make it. If you can't then this will be DOA if you have to replace a lot of the hardware every X years.
- jsantos511 6y agoDe-risking all of these questions is currently one of our top priorities. We have an understanding of a handful of materials that are compatible with our system right now, and we are working to expand that list - and, just as valuably, remove items from that list. Our chemist is leading these efforts, and she's got a ton of experience from getting her PhD/postdoc work at Yale's Center for Green Chemistry that is helping us properly vet these items out.
