Why This Idea is a Strong Strategic Move:
1. Cost-Effective Feasibility Proof
A $1 million lab-scale furnace is a financially efficient way to validate the TCM-MSW process before pursuing much larger investments. It allows early technical demonstrations with minimal financial risk.
2. Investor Confidence & De-Risking
Demonstrating the process in a controlled lab setting builds credibility and generates critical data, making it easier to secure funding for the $10M pilot or full-scale implementation. It shifts the conversation from theoretical to practical
3. Accelerated Innovation and Optimization
A laboratory setup enables rapid testing, data collection, and iterative improvements under real process conditions. This shortens development time and improves the system design before scaling up.
