to its high nitrogen consumption especially from waste water.

Technology ssessment

Professor illie 5aircloth6 chool of rchitecture6 8ni#ersity of 9e,as atustin: You can create these technologies on a scientists desk, butcan you ramp up towards production? Dr. Gopalans research hasfound a way to create a process for manufacturing which is always thetechnology transfer issue. Its often a ery slow process. !hats whatsuni"ue about Dr. Gopalans company# he is ery, ery close in being

able to hand off his technology to a company to actually put intoproduction.$
