How to reduce Alembic Mesh file size in Bifrost Fluid Simulations ?

I have created many fluid simulations using the Bifrost tool in 3Ds Max. I am trying to make a mobile game that uses water animation exported from Bifrost. When I export the mesh in Alembic, the file size is always very large. It can go up to 1 GB for simple water animations.

 

I have tried reducing "Master Voxel Size", reducing "Surface Particle Density" but then the liquid starts disappearing from the scene. I am aiming to build a 2-3 Mb water animation (in .abc format) of water flowing from one cup into another. Is it possible in bifrost ? Any help will be really appreciated.

Increasing, not reducing the Master Voxel size will give you lower size of the mesh, but at the same time, less details.

Voxel size = 4, the .ABC file is 1.3MB.
