Does not make sense to me. One of the issues with JBI is that it does not really have a defineable feedstock. What is "industrial plastic"? If it is industrial waste it could have any kind of residue on it with lal kinds fo implications.

Is stage 1 of the process a cleaning stage?

Just an analogy... when I was at that industrial gases company we took in the ambient air as our feedstock. Stage 1 of the process was cleaning it. Not just of suspended matter and dust, but then of moisture. It had to consist of simply (Oxygen, Nitrogen, Argon) before it was separated into those component parts.

If I were jBI I would have a cleaning stage that would wash the plastic that could be considered s separate unit for permitting purposes. Then the input to the process is clean plastic... and permitting for the pyrolysis unit is much easier.

Regardless, first stage has to be cleaning... which can result in all kinds of waste by-product.

Or does the jBI process assume it can handle any kind of dirty input feedstock? Then the choice of feedstock for the stack test is critical.

The permit will be granted when ...
