Taking it further
If you have reached this point you probably now have lots of questions… So head for the discussion forum on recirculation and post your question there, or browse previous discussion threads (note you need to have registered with Aquainnovation or Aquamedia and be logged on to use the discussion forums).
If you are ready to stretch yourself further, why not work out a basic specification for a recirculation system appropriate to your interests and upload it to Aquainnovation for review. You can specify whether your document should be made available for anyone to review, or if you would only like suggestions and feedback from academic tutors or commercial consultants/suppliers from the CSN-INTRAN consortium. You can also help us to expand and improve this site by uploading additional supporting materials (spreadsheets, pictures, videos etc).
