I've got a question here. Can anyone confirm or refute my impression that "refinery bottoms" actually is some pretty nasty stuff ... stuff that needs to be gotten rid of somehow, some way anyway. If that's the case, then the more gasoline refined, the more refinery bottoms to be cleaned up. And if RNTK's process becomes the preferred method of handling refinery bottoms, then lowered petroleum costs might indeed lead to more business for RNTK.


Anybody know what the refineries do with the refinery bottoms stuff presently? How expensive is that process?
