Essentially, Litan explained that the product which had been built as a
prototype and tested in Leeds University was based on. .Moreover,
where the best products on the market could process 12,000 litres of
water an hour his could process 50,000, killing all known pathogens. In
addition it did not rely on a UV bulb but instead it used a patented UV
electrode-less glass.
Litan painted a picture of selling his product to India where he had
contacts in the Government and provided an example of this in terms
of a city 'City A' in India with a population of seven million.
When asked how the product would be used he said that the any hard
surface and kill off any bacteria. Moreover, it could be used to disinfect
any water for drinking or the disinfection of waste water. For example
hotel chains in India had to provide customers with clean drinking and
washing water. This system was better than any other on the market
and would prove attractive to hotel chains and others. Or it could be
used to disinfect all hard surfaces in hospitals especially, operating
rooms. Moreover, public water providers would find this product
attractive. Likewise, in adapted form it could be scaled ultimately, for
personal use, for sale to individual members of the public or to armed
forces.
When asked how much the product would cost he said that the build
cost of the prototype was £6,000 and that all the parts were available
off the shelf. When asked who were his customers and what would he
be selling Litan said it was not just a case of selling the product but
rather he envisaged a team going to the customer and building the
machine and training staff in its use. However, before this could
happen he would have to obtain sales and this would entail meeting
the High Commissioners of India, Pakistan and Bangladesh in London,
and sales visits to India.
