Nonsense. I prefer reality.

1 trailer holds 20 tons according to

"Zecca said in order to fill a tractor-trailer there must be about 20, 2,000-pound bales."

I'm pretty sure Jim Zecca, director with the Madison County Department of Solid Waste, has "done the math."

The rest of your math continues to be grossly off. 8 pounds of plastic makes 1 gallon of fuel PLUS gases and char, not 1 gallon of fuel minus gases and char. Good grief lol

And, no, landfill-bound plastic doesn't cost $750 a ton. In fact, it costs a big fat zero per ton with NYSE: RKT

You do realize that your numbers are bogus.

Lets go with your number of 30,000 lbs a truck load.

That is 15 tons. The processors are rated at a maximum of 2 tons/hr. That is 48 tons per day. 48/15 = 3.2 trucks per day to keep a processors fed at its present max. feed rate.

That seems quite reasonable.

Each 100 lbs of plastic produces 80 lbs of fuel according to SAIC's summary based on watching 3 days of continuous production.

So 48 tons of plastic produces 38.4 tons of fuel. Using an average weight of 7 lbs /gal for the mix of fuels produced that gives us 10,971 gals (261 bbls) of fuel per processor per day of operation.

Standard tankers hold 5000 gals or more. So we get 3.2 trucks per day bringing in plastic and 2 trucks per day hauling off fuel. That is 5.2 trucks per day per processor.

With 3 processors running full time that gives a maximum of 16 trucks a day. To put it another way, 2 trucks an hour during daylight hours.

Those 6 trucks transporting fuel would be hauling off fuel worth $85,347 if sold at the $109/bbl price already documented.

$85K * 365 days *.75%uptime = $23,363,000 in revenues for a 3 processor cluster.

These numbers are based on the reality of JBI's technology.

"So, a maximum size trailer at 60ft long..."

I believe that would require a Special Hauling Permit, something that isn't typically issued for pallet loads of plastic.

It's New York we're talking about, right?

N.Y. VAT. LAW § 385 : NY Code - Section 385: Dimensions and weights of vehicles
"(b) The length of a semitrailer or trailer shall not exceed
forty-eight feet provided, however, that the length of any trailer or
semitrailer being operated in combination with another trailer or
semitrailer shall not exceed twenty-eight and one-half feet."
