Steady_On, in your projections do you include a cost for catalyst? Commercial catalysts used by petroleum refineries cost between $1 and $2 per pound when purchased in bulk (truck load or railcar load). But since JBI supposedly is using a custom catalyst that is outsourced, and which is produced in small quantities (JBI's micro-brewery being the only user), then his cost per pound is probably much higher than for a full scale FCC cracker.

Also, since the processor design does not appear to use a catalyst regenerator, the quantity of catalyst consumed per ton of product is probably about three times that of an FCC unit.

So, if you don't mind my asking, how do you deal with these variables in your financial modeling?
