Hmm.... the arid countries -- like west Texas -- can use such for clean environment and water reuse/conservation reasons.
What is the energy potential in grey water? I was thinking of a bioreactor as a net energy consumer usually.

It might have a good chance as a tiny low budget company product, since it lack's glamor so, those interested in IPO's
would not be much competition. With enough development time before big competition, a tiny company might
have a chance, even at a world market product.
