For a typical paper-recycling factory

For a typical paper-recycling factory, one Emefcy fuel cell module, which is about the size of a cubic meter, could treat about three cubic meters per day of wastewater depending on the amount of organic material present, according to Cohen, and the modules can be scaled to meet the needs of larger or smaller plants.

Is the use of DEPENDING correct - what does it modify

I think It is wrong in its present form because depending here modifies "three cubic meters per day of waste water" which is nonsensical.

Depending should modify the clause before it so as to say HOW One module could treat ( depending on the amount of organic material present. Therefore there should be a comma before depending.
