"20 tons of plastic would be processed into approximately 4,400 gallons of fuel"

That's 5.238 barrels a ton. 48 tons a day, 75% uptime, = 188.57 barrels a day per processor.

$100/barrel (conservative, imo), 365 days a year = $6.88 million per processor.

Looks like $800k to build a processor including the installation and all the costs associated.

"Low capital costs and small footprint. The processors have a modular design and are built with standardized components, making construction of P2O processors relatively straightforward and low cost. We have designed our P2O processors to take up approximately 1,200 square feet of space, giving the processors a small footprint. This facilitates the construction of multiple processor sites. We estimate that the costs of constructing P2O processors on industrial partner sites will be approximately in the range from $600,000 to $800,000 each, which we believe to be substantially less than the cost of constructing waste-to-fuel facilities offered by our competitors."
