I would say that is my dream not my plan...

It has taken me almost 7 years to get to the point I am at now mostly due to the cost of relocating to a suitable location and county that will allow me to proceed without endless interference...I am not getting any younger...it has also been hard since I have been through several partners who lost interest as soon as anything expensive or time consuming came up...

My current goal is to produce it for my own use here on my place...then once that is in done I can demonstrate to potential partners that is works and try to get others involved in my project so we can share the cost and time involved in scaling up...finding project partners who are dedicated and will hang in through the hard parts is the major bottleneck once you get a location you are allowed to build your plant on...also the cost of a medium size plant is fairly steep...I have lost a lot of time building my project with a modular design that will allow me to scale up very quickly and with minimum cost...batch plants are not very hard to scale up but a continuous run plant requires some expensive items...even if you build them yourself the material and labor costs add up quick so careful management of the process and funds is very important...My choice of location also has been very carefully chosen to allow me to process waste water inexpensively for reuse...
