MORE BASIC QUESTIONS
That no one can answer because there is no guidance…
1. Adding a 2nd, 3rd… 4th kiln, each requires energy to operate, so what total impact in loss of energy/output/operating cost do added kilns have on the bottom line/efficiency?
2. Adding HTF to the process means that the HTF displaces plastic. How much net gain vs cost vs throughput is there? Adding 25% HTF to compact plastic 25% does not appear to be a net gain… and it adds steps, cost, time equipment, storage and procurement…
3. Reducing moisture content of feedstock requires energy unless you just take your chances and let it sit around taking up space until it dries out… how much energy/cost/space does this require? How much does this subtract from the bottom line?
Questions that no one has the answer to.
Questions that were not addressed by any third party assessment… it’s now extremely obvious that referencing obsolete SAIC type reports that were performed on this process (that is drastically different now than back when they were done) is completely irrelevant and unrealistic to use as a basis to conclude anything regarding the current process.
Questions that must have quantifiable answers before any realistic numbers are calculated.
Put aside THE MOST FUNDAMENTAL PROBLEM for a second and just based on the current existing process… is there any possibility of positive net gain … or does the process require 120% more energy/cost than the output?
No one knows.
Not even sure jbi knows.
Winging it without cad drawings is an indication that implementing new ideas into the works is most likely done with no predetermination of impact…. Let’s try this and see what happens… Let’s just hope it all works out…. Maybe we can just build a 4th and 5th processor and offset the downtime with more units that are not efficient enough on their own to turn a profit… maybe…not sure… no one knows
