RE: The Observer - old news tomorrow?24 Jul 2019 14:56
yellowf1- Thank you for your post of 13.35 I always like an inteligent response from somebody who has fully mastered their brief. But I will take your reply instead. You seem to be making a fundamental error in assuming that PHE will be paying for the DMG unit. If you listen very carefully to the last interview that David Ryan gave to Proactive the link is on a earlier tweet it is clear that the customer or the development partner will be raising the finance, with possible assistance from PHE. So the costs that you mention are not being borne by PHE the figure I quoted is the 20% license fee that PHE will be receiving. It follows that there is no CAPEX payable by PHE. On the plant point I know this has exercised 98889 as well I do not believe that there will be any plant owned by PHE as I suspect that the DMG unit will be constructed in situ at the customers site. The reasons for believing this are:
1. From the statements made it would seem that the units will not be mass produced as the units have to be calibrated for the feedstock being used. See in this respect Piltick's post of 22.50 of Monday.
2. The parts are all, or mainly, off the shelf items so can just as easily be sent to the customer as to PHE.
Please note it is a DMg unit and not a DME unit that you have been refering to in your recent posts.
