Plastic2Oil Inc (PTOI)

Yes,
earth shattering, but only for those that buy every word of the JBI sales pitch without knowing what is really going on.

For those of us in the know, with the proper education and understanding of chemical engineering, it is well known and non earth shattering common knowledge.

If you would like to teach yourself chemistry here is a link to a basic chemistry course-

Notice the references to unsaturated hydrocarbons which are not found in crude oil but are made by cracking. This is chemistry 101 for cracking and one of the most basic and understood principles.

You can not take a long chain molecule of plastic and crack it without creating chains that are missing hydrogen. And there is no easy or cost effective way to simply add hydrogen to the molecules.

Test the results of cracking and you can pass the fuel spec, but give it a few days and the fuel will oxidize (an accelerated effect similar to what happens over the winter to the fuel you leave in your lawn mower) and become out of spec.

earth shattering... perhaps for everyone that does not understand the basic chemistry and is betting the farm on a sales pitch.
