A little bit of knowledge can be a good thing, because it may cause a person to think outside the box.
My Mrs. has a very successful online business - physical locations for operations, shipping and even production of products. A few years ago as a customer courtesy she added an obscure product used for sterilizing and sanitizing that is vastly more effective than alcohol, well recognized and legit, but rare as a consumer product including being very pricey and generally bleach is good enough anyway. The cost of wholesale was so high and so diluted there was no profit even possible. I won't mention the product/chemical since we are now the largest manufacturer on the retail and wholesale to retailers level in the USA. Nothing is shipped outside the USA of anything because who knows what all the laws of the world are for any chemical.
The way the product (a chemical solution) is made by others is thru complex mechanical and electrical means. That method produces very low volume that is highly diluted. But I remembered some random bits of information from something I had messed with prior and thought there might be another way to make it - a very risky way. Risky, meaning explosive potential. Could it be made by chemical reaction? So I toyed around with it on a small scale with dozens of gallon jars. The process was extremely slow, 95% would boil away or evaporate as it was just open jars. But, 3 months later for what little remained? Pure. And 2,000% more concentration. The chemical reaction is the only energy source - and in that massive amounts of energy (heat) is produced. It powers itself so-to-speak.
Could I build a production system? So I ordered lots of heavy stainless steel large tanks, pipes, fittings, and valves to build a small refinery system. Finally I had built the system - doing this at night when no one around. With this, I proceeded to blow the roof off the back of a warehouse. BOOM! Massive cloud of what looked like steam or white smoke bringing the fire department. No fire. Just a massive white cloud - basically steam. Most was gone, but of the little that remained in the final stage stainless steel tank? Perfect. Still 2000% more concentrated than anyone else makes. Most people would count an explosion as a failure. I counted it as success for the final chemical produced.
A $5000 test by the #1 testing lab in the USA used by both companies and the government certified its purity, content and concentration.
All need be done? Keep it from blowing up.
