Great information Buck, I appreciate your time to consider my request and reply. We pretty much have an idea on the Gen-sets but are somewhat at a loss for the extraction process and equipment required to achieve our end goal....1500-2000 GPD continuous production. Any thoughts there would certainly be welcome. We'll be using SVO in the Gen-sets and may expand production to include the Farm equipment. Thank you again, it's a great help. Dave Brockes
