Subject: Elk River Incubator Facilities
Dear Harlan,
After looking over our facility requirements for water, electrical and
space, we have concluded that there may be some problems with the
incubator facility in Elk River. I will go over the requirements and
concerns below.
Space:
The current layout of space available does not allow adequate industrial
and office space in any single area. We would need to have some walls
moved and new office space added. This would of course limit the
remaining space and may hinder leasing of that space.
Electrical:
Current estimates are that we will need approximately 600 Amp service
with 460V 3 Phase.
Water:
Initially water consumption should be very low. On the order of 300 to
600 gallons per day. One year into the effort the water consumption
could peak as high as 2500 gallons per day although typical would
probably be something less like 1500 gallons per day. We will also need
Oor drains installed. My understanding is that this facility has a
ell and septic system. I am concerned that the well water be of
sufficiently low mineral content to prevent problems in our RF systems
that are water-cooled. We will of course be using chillers but the
initial water quality will need to be high enough to allow treatment to
acceptable levels. I also wonder if the septic can handle the water
volumes we will need.
HVAC:
We will require small amounts of exhaust for the outlet of oil based
vacuum pumps. A small roof mounted fan operated unit should easily
handle our requirements. We will also need to provide some level of AC
to the facility as process conditions are adversely effected by unstable
temperature and humidity levels.
Please let me know if we will be able to work through these issues in a
satisfactory manner. I am copying Marc Nevinsky of Elk River on this
note as he needs the water to sewer numbers for his own research.
Thank you,
Mark Jenson
