Process

On-Going Process Design and Techno-Economic Modeling

The Next Rung Technology Team, lead by Linda Rauch, filled the process engineering role by developing P&ID’s, process descriptions, and bill of materials organization. Next Rung continues to update and maintain the client’s levelized cost of water (LCOW) techno-economic model that is used to drive R&D focus areas and product road-mapping.

Outcomes

The company utilizes Next Rung Technology as its interm engineering department and as a flexible member of their team as they progress their product towards their commercialization goals.
