Financial Projections Changing the world can be profitable.  With so many industry applications available as possible revenue sources globally, it was difficult to accurately project a likely scenario with incoming sales from multiple industries, such as desalination, oil & gas, food & beverage, mining / tailings, municipal wastewater, etc.  And as noted earlier, we do not want to go to market expecting to serve so many industries at first.
