I've talked to one prof at length who was involved in catalyst development for the Oil and Gas industry. He has advised they have done away with a lot of R&D in the catalyst field because the refineries are quite efficient now. They keep R&D costs down for a good bottom line. I work with a large Oil and Gas company now (8+ billion) and I know their R&D cycles and it usually pertains to new exploration and only when crude prices are high. As I communicate well with scientists, I have had many discussions with their geophysicists and scientists about how they work. It helps us process and migrate their data. Look at Firefly Battery. The physicist who developed their hybrid battery had never worked in battery research before. He was not bound by assumptions of scientists immersed in that field. Q: That's not to mention that Bordynuik has no experieince in the petrochemical industry that I know of. JB: I don't need to be. That why I have two chemists Alan Barnett, Ron Kurp, and islechem. We have 5 total and they do know what they are talking abut. I can however take information in unrelated fields and apply it. I purchased the blest unit, modified it and tried a catalyst composition. Alan then purchased a GC, then Intertek tested the fuel and then we purchased a large processor, tested the process at 300kg, then islechem. It works scaled. If you are sceptical then don't invest until we see financial data. Q: Regardless of any one's IQ, if you don't have experience working in a regulated industry, you'll tend to overlook and oversimplify the regulatory requirements and the direct and indirect costs of compliance with those industries regulations. JB: You don't need a high IQ to hire process engineers and technicians to solve those problems. Our key person has already designed and built a fully operational permitted magnesium recycling plant. He is not a chemist but knows permits and processes -- and understands volatiles. [...] Friday, February 26, 2010 "techisbest" interviews CEO John Bordynuik jbiglobal.blogspot.com
