There are lots of very specific very unique processes out there. I’m sure there’s somewhere that has particularly high constituents of interest and a process for it that works for them.

Whether it’s widespread and needed I don’t know.

I do know that cost is a relative term. A manager of a half million gallon a day plant will cry about spending 15 grand on a broken pump. A 20 million gallon a day plant usually has spares on the shelf and considers it part is maintenance.
