Prototype System

• Requirements
• Must display ability to autonomously operate with
  correct control
• Must be able to observe contamination conditions
• Must be relatively low cost
• Limitations
• Mass/Volumetric flow meter has minimum detectable
  GPM
• Electric actuator speed to close valves
• System size
