Plastic is fed into a rotating kiln that drives off any moisture and melts the plastic

since this is a sealed process, driven off WHERE????.....are you saying the pre-melt is really a drying process???

also, I thought pryolysis acted to vaporize the plastic, not boil it??? (thus the low temps)

PS: yep, I don't understand their super secret process at all....that's for sure!!!!!.....maybe that's why it apparently has so many issues making a profit.....

Good post.

that JBI trade secret catalyst

Steady_T,

Plastic is fed into a rotating kiln that drives off any moisture and melts the plastic.

The melted plastic is then moved into a second rotating kiln that vaporizes the melted plastic. The resulting gas created by pyrolysis (boiling away) is past to the catalytic towers where that JBI trade secret catalyst works on the longer chain molecules. The resulting gases are then condensed back into liquids by selective cooling stages. Any remaining gases are burned to provide the heat required for the previous steps.

Fairly recently photos from the NF facility showed a small drum being delivered that some speculated would be a third chamber in a new processor configuration. Do you think a processor now is compossed of three drums and if so, what purpose do you think the third drum serves?

TIA.
