Here is a thought:
Purchase a BLEST table top unit and run it without any catalyst. If I remember correctly , JBI started this way. Let us know how well that machine does in terms of cost of fuel (of course you will need to find a refinery to process the resultant goo), quality of fuel, and quantity of fuel - then report back here.
The catalyst that is proprietary to JBI, is as IRRELEVANT to any potential investor dollars, as some damn Media Credits - this is about converting plastic to fuel. The mere fact that the waste-plastic devouring JBI Beasts produce the ultra-clean, spec-grade fuel from FREE feedstock, should be enough for even the most critical investor.
When I went to the dealer to purchase a car, I did not give two shits as to what process was involved in creating the end product. The salesman was talking about "hydro-formed chassis frame members" - who cares?? I asked him if the car was fast, he said yes, and I gladly gave him the money for the car.
