RE:RE:Notice Of Work Based on the amount of contrast this can produce and based on their projected sales figures I would not expect a large amount of it to go to contrast but probably most to other uses. 111 million bottles x price per bottle is a lot.more than 1 years projected sales.
"The 2,000 tonnes are expected to be a high-grade sample with low waste. Voyageur's goal is to extract 1,000 to 1,200 tonnes of high purity barium sulfate from this sample, to be used in barium contrast manufacturing. To put the number in perspective, 1,000 tonnes of pharmaceutical grade barium sulfate, can create:
-
Approximately 111,111,000 bottles of SmoothX smoothie contrast media, or
-
Approximately 3,000,000 bottles of HDX powdered contrast media"
