I would want to ask “is there a harvestable product from this system, and if so, what is the potential volume and value of what might be harvested. I am taking an interest in using duckweed to draw nutrients form waste water. This has a high value and high volume of harvestable material. Often times it is these multiple benefits that are required to justify implementation.
