The prototype concept is based on a laboratory process that would be scaled up for field operations with the intention of a construction phase to follow the design phase. The scale of the prototype is negotiable but is conceived to process 1-10 tons of gypsum per day. In the interest of maintaining the schedule, preference to off-the-shelf components over custom-built components may determine the final scale of the system. The prototype concept and raw material and chemical inputs for the system available at the site are described in more detail in Attachment 1.
