There was no presentation scheduled for the media......recordings were made for the media to be utilized when the time was appropriate. Your statement is false.
Compliance emissions testing is typically a requirement of an approval, operating permit or pertinent regulation. Typically, a test protocol or "intent to test" must be completed by the testing firm and submitted to the regulatory agency or Ministry of Environment for review and acceptance. Acceptance of the test protocol could take from one day to several weeks depending on the jurisdiction and the current workload of the Agency. Once a test protocol has been accepted, then the testing campaign can be scheduled.
The facility should be aware that emissions testing programs required for regulatory purposes have defined and rigid project timelines. There may be due dates for: submission of the test protocol, notification of sampling schedule to the regulatory agency, execution and completion of the field work and submission of the final report to the Agency or Ministry.
Paramount to the compliance testing program is the monitoring of pertinent process parameters and production rates during each test run. For this reason, it is recommended that a knowledgeable person from the facility be designated to record operational data and ensure that the process is operating at the required levels through the test program. This process specialist is also responsible for effectively communicating process information to the testing crew which is normally located on the roof or stack. When the operation is down or having problems, sampling may need to pause until the problem is resolved.
Compliance testing programs usually involve a visit from a regulatory person to witness the sampling procedures and to confirm that testing is being carried out at the appropriate operating conditions. During the visit, they will observe the process, evaluate process measurements and compare against requirements specified in the accepted test protocol. It is recommended that a key person from the facility be designated to accompany the auditor during a plant tour and answer any questions he/she may have about the process.
It is important that the testing organization provide draft data to the facility well before submission of the final report to the Agency. If the draft emission data appear to exceed applicable regulatory limits, then a plan can be formulated by the facility to respond to this new information.
Not that we care what you imigine, but JB has consistently said to shareholders that he would not invite media until production has started. Pretty simple.
I'd say before the AGM. I imagine that was why Bordynuik cancelled the presentation to the media, and why shareholders weren't able to watch the process from beginning to end.
Several people saw the process from beginning to end. Up close and personal. Stu Miller comes to mind. And there were others as well....But that argument is moot anyway, given the independent report by IsleChem. Somewhat difficult to offer a credible doubt considering the reputation of those Salty and Seasoned CHEMISTS, with a lineage dating back to Occidental Petroleum:
