      TBF, the basic concept of this isn't very sciencified and mechanized. This reads entirely like a bathtub and some drain cleaner to me. The stainless steel reaction vessel is probably somewhat unnecessary. The article tries to distance it from "acid in a bathtub" desperately, "because it's alkaline, not acidic", but that apparatus is basically a bathtub and some plumbing for drain cleaner.
