“Even if you add 10 per month (that's how many they have said they can fabricate), that's not solving this. Note, it's not like Costner had these things sitting around ready to go. They will take months to deliver even the first 32, from what I read. “

But he DID have these things 'sitting around" .

He took 10 to the Gulf weeks ago - he had 2 doz plus available and was ramping up production.

Had they deployed when available, there’d be far less destruction -

It's going to hellaciously hard, with everything available - Costner's machines, the Dutch et al, to play catch up. About all we can hope for now is to slow things down.

Wow! You know more about the company than their press releases. You should tell ol' Kev to have you get their house in order. In their press release last week, they said:

[...] There are 3 V20 centrifuge machines currently operational in the Gulf. Ten more should become operational within weeks. ”Once production at our factory in Nevada ramps up in July, OTS will be able to produce 10 machines a month,” said Pat Smith, Chief Operating Officer for OTS. [...]

BP had ordered six in May, and expanded the order to thirty-two last week.

Again, a bit of research with Google and the actual company website, sparse as it is.

Note also that they don't say it will "remove 99% of the oil"...they say that the water is "more than 99% free of crude." There's an important difference.
