Rawnoc, I think most second graders realize that plastics are petroleum derived. The science of reverting plastics back to oil is nothing new either....but efficiency and quality are the obtacles of it ever being practical on a commercial scale.

It's certainly well known that plastics can be broken back down into short chain hyrocarbons....it's just the purity of those oils that's in question....and the management of the byproducts of the process. I doubt is that their process can be scaled-up and efficiently produce an oil pure enough to meet API standards. I doubt i can be done without giving off hazardous byproducts that would require expensive air controls and hazardous waste disposal costs. These are the issues I was referring to when I spoke of a "materials balance". While a process can work great at the bench scale, when operations are scaled-up and real world factors come into play, you'll find your process yielding contaminated product and giving off hazardous pollutants.

Essentially my point is, I suspect most believers in JBII's P2O don't even know enough about organic chemistry to know how much they don't know about organic chemistry.

Let me know when they get the air permits for their first system and sell their first batch to a commercial refinery.

From JBII CEO,

Hello XXXX,

It's important to understand that we are not reinventing the wheel. The
big processor works. Period. By adding the catalyst to the system we
have changed the dynamics of the processor significantly. Without a
proper effective catalyst any plastic 2 oil system is inefficient,
useless, and garbage. They have appeared over and over for the past 20
years looking for capital, then disappear. This is a viable process that
is already a done deal. The fuel derived from the catalyst is already
ASTM certified so we are not going through a "does it work?" test.
We
are going through a "I want this to run everywhere" testing and
documentation.

Our large processor is in third party validation and testing. so I am
referring of all the possible documentation, analytics and safety
information required to run these processors in volume in multiple
states and countries with the least permit delays possible. The more
data the better.

We retained a state-certified chemical analysis company that is
providing engineering analytics and results for chemical, mechanical and
environmental data. They are doing extensive analysis,material balances
with all the variables present in many plastics, feedstock and output
analysis, safety systems and permitting. This data and documentation
will allow us to deploy these processors quickly.

It's important we do this right. I am constantly faced with the
decision to make it run for a month, week, day, 10T, 100 barrels, 1000
barrels (what is the magic number?) continuous and then report and
produce run ticket to prove it's the real thing, then go through the
proper documentation process, tear down, rebuild, then roll out . It
would delay us as I don't have a second one while the first is torn
apart for all the analysis and poss. changes required to maximize
deployment.

Regards,

John Bordynuik
CEO
JBI

JBII - So did USSE. At least, they claimed they did. People even saw the "working prototype" and believed in it....right on up until USSE'S CEO was indicted for fraud.

<Actually JBII does indeed have a working protoype>
