NOx (often written NOx) refers to NO and NO2. They are produced during combustion, especially at high temperature. These two chemicals are important trace species in Earth's atmosphere. In the troposphere, during daylight, NO reacts with partly oxidized organic species (or the peroxy radical) to form NO2, which is then photolyzed by sunlight to reform NO:

NO + CH3O2 ? NO2 + CH3O
NO2 + sunlight ? NO + O

Does that help you?

The thing you should focus on is this from the stack test results PR:
"In other words, the process puts a high percentage of oxygen back into the air while emitting very little, if any, toxic substances during the conversion of waste plastic into usable hydrocarbon fuels."

I believe this means that I put out more noxious gas when I break wind, however this is just my opinion as I have not completed an anal emissions stack test. The results from the JBI stack test also mean there is no need to reduce the NOx levels.

Again, JBI should and will proceed as the governing body in New York State (DEC) say they should.

You should ask the author of the post, as it would seem that he/she has extensive experience related to fossil fuel usage, environmental emissions and control, and its mechanical capabilities to improve the already low emissions of the P2O process. Once the permit is acceptably issued, we can go after CA, as I suspect that they would be the only state with stricter environmental laws save NY.

Recently there was a post with someone with 18 years experience. He also indicated that JBII could reduce the NOx level.

I do not know if the JBI story will go this route, but I am highly, highly confident that NYDEC has the legal authority to grant temporary permission for a company to operate, even at full capcity, just like they had the authority to grant JBi authority to do the build and run for testing purposes.

To be frank, based on what I haver seen, I do not think there is a regulatory law written in this country that does not have caveats written in where special authorities and permissions can be tapped.

Particularly in this capitalist country, does anyone really think any ENVIRONMENTAL law would have been passed and subsequent regulation finalized that was completely black and white and, thus, completely tied the administrator's hands from allowing an up and comiong business to operate and make some money while paper work is worked out? Seriously, does anoyone really believe that? If one does, IMO, that person knows nothing about the reality of how environmental protection is and is not enforced in the US.
