What is the minimum size you could make it (footprint and capacity)? How small are your laboratory-scale generators today? What would you say about minimum size while remaining economically viable, not simply theoretical?

Seems the process is simplified in terms of stages over the existing pipelines,lending itself to smaller scales.

Well our current facility takes up ca 2000 square feet and has sufficient capacity for our new consumer product launch, it really depends on what you want to do with the peroxide. If you want to compete on price against the current process though, it still has to be a lot bigger than our pilot facility.
