John:

(Ed, please correct me if I am wrong)....

The DOD Machine was for a DOD bid for processing contaminated wood chips. A private company (GA) was using the machine as part of its solution. I do not believe their is additional opportunities with this customer, but as others have pointed out on this thread pressure treated lumber creates serious chemical disposal problems on its own. I do not know if the FASC machine can solve this, but it is obviously solving some wood related problem for the DOD.

Concerning sludge, the same problems exist. The machine dries and reduces the material small enough to kill the bacteria. Huge market, but some engineering problems to solve to get reasonable throughtput.
