Sorry to hear of your woes.

To comment on the microreactor - I have been involved in microreactor development for other applications. It as a lot of potential, but the technology is definitely in its infancy. Also, the throughput from one reactor is very small, so you would need a huge bank of reactors - with inherent scale-up problems. The cost at the moment would also be prohibitive, compared to other systems. So unless you have lots of spare money for R&D and a long time-scale, I would stick to more conventional production methods at the moment.
