0If you replace the original passive tense "being produced" with a regular tense "produced," they become different sentences.02br

00I think the phrases "as to be likely" and "so as to be likely" are not 01u00the same02u00 in meaning in the context you had them in -- they are very different. 0-

0Look at the two sentences with two different kinds of the verb, one is passive and the other is active. The active verb "produced" would make little sense in that sentence because the process is not producing anything actively, as I can see, but the particles was being produced by/through the process. 02br
02br
00The word "so" imparts some specific meaning very often as we use them in phrases, I think, so I would use the word "so" ever so discreetly.02br
02br
00That's my three cents 0-
