Yes. I always took it that the "processor" was the core technology around which an installation was based. You still have piping, variations due to differences in feedstock and required output, etc. There is always engineering around that core required. Therefore a low figure for the cost of a "processor" can be given without revealing the full capital cost of the entire installation.
I had guessed a capital cost of around $2 Million for 3 processors.
This report puts it in the same league as it's competition.
Bordynuik is confident his P2O process will work on a commercial scale. “We can build our processing units for one hundred and sixty to two hundred thousand dollars.
Today, the large scale processor is “working very well” and is running at steady state and at 20 tons/day or 109 barrels of fuel. Overall, the process produces a mix of diesel gasoline (about 90 per cent) and natural gas (about 8 per cent). The diesel fuel is an easy commodity to sell commercially, but natural gas is more problematic. “As we began testing,” recounts Bordynuik, “everyone’s dream became a nightmare. What do we do if we produce too much natural gas? We were producing 4500 ft³ of excess natural gas per hour. So we built a gas compression system that puts the gas back into the furnace to feed the processor.” In other words, Bordynuik found a technical fix so that the P20 processor now uses the natural gas to power itself.
