At a rate of 4,000 pounds per hour, the two processing machines at JBI Inc. are hungry for plastic. (baloney)
Dirty or clean, the 24-inch mouth on the machine is fed old gas tanks, bags and hard plastics 24 hours a day. (Baloney)
Like some sort of magical device in a Dr. Seuss book,(correct, ding ding ding) the processors at JBI's Niagara Falls, N.Y. plant move the plastic through a series of massive steel drums, burners, reactors and towers, ultimately producing clean fuel that can be used for, among other things, commercial heating and powering cars and trucks.(Baloney)
The process is Plastic2Oil, and if the machinery is like something out of a kids book (correct, ding ding ding), then John Bordynuik is the brains behind it.
The Niagara Falls businessman has refined a way to turn plastic waste into sellable fuel.(Baloney) He first built a one-kilogram processor to prove his conversion technology worked. From there he scaled it up to a one-ton processor, and then finally built the original 20-ton commercial unit in an industrial park in Niagara Falls, N.Y.
But since the output of sellable fuel is limited to how much plastic the machines can process, JBI constructed an even more efficient processor and now has it up and running.(Baloney) That has doubled the processing power up to 4,000 pounds per hour, and Bordynuik said he's close to receiving approval to double that again, which the two machines were built to handle.
The main reason JBI set up shop in the U.S. was because getting environmental approvals in Canadafor a previously-unproven technology was virtually impossible.(Baloney)
“Canada doesn't like pilot plans, but we have few environmental problems because of that,” Bordynuik said. “But now Canada wants us there.” (Baloney)
The second processor was built in a modular setup, which can easily be replicated. A third processor – exactly the same as the existing one - will be installed in the coming few months, and then JBI plans to start installing the machines around North America. (Baloney)
Rather than selling the technology(selling un-patented technology while infringing on other people's patents? Gee, I wonder why), the company has put together a “kit” of sorts, that includes a 7,200-square-foot steel building that can house three processors capable of handling up to 12,000 pounds of plastic per hour. JBI would operate and staff the locations themselves.
“Companies have such high landfill fees that they're willing to give us space for the building,” said Bordynuik.
The idea is companies that spend millions on waste disposal will want the processors on site. JBI can make money off the fuel being produced and the companies won't have to pay anything to dispose of their plastic waste.
“With these modular machines, we want to make as many as we can,” Bordynuik said. “The plastic is available no problem, the fuel customers are here and the acceptance of the technology is here. The problem now is we need to build a lot of the machines.”(Baloney)
JBII is just a story stock. (correct, ding ding ding)
