JBI, Inc. Successfully Completes Its Final P2O Stack Emissions Test
December 07 2011 - 4:29PM
JBI, Inc. (the "Company") (OTCQX:JBII) announces the successful
completion of its final P2O Stack Test performed by
Conestoga-Rovers and Associates ("CRA") on the Company's
Plastic2Oil ("P2O") commercial processor. The stack test, which is
a measure of emissions from the processor vent, was conducted by
CRA beginning on December 5, 2011, with completion on December 6,
2011. The New York Department of Environmental Conservation
("NYSDEC") was also present during testing.
Three stack tests were performed on the existing commercial
processor with a pre-melt system. Unwashed, unsorted waste
plastics, including various industrial plastics and gas tanks from
scrap cars, were used as feedstock for the testing. This type of
feedstock is consistent with the day-to-day waste plastic that the
processor is currently converting into fuel.
The stack tests were conducted at feed rates of 3,258 lbs/hr,
3,233 lbs/hr and 3,932 lbs/hour respectively. Ultimately, the test
results proved that emissions decreased with increased feed rates,
further validating that P2O is a highly "green," clean and scalable
process. The addition of the pre-melt system, which was designed
and installed in Q3, greatly improved feed rates for the
process.
Draft emissions data was provided by CRA staff following the
completion of each test. Emissions were significantly reduced
through more efficient and higher combustion of the off-gas
generated by the process.
Final average emissions for 3,923 lbs/hr were 15.97% O2, 3.05%
CO2, 3.1ppm (parts per million) CO, 15.1 ppm NOx, 2.88 ppm TNMHC
and 0.02ppm of SO2. The NOx emission was approximately one-fifth
that of the original P2O processor tested 1 year ago.
The P2O processor did not have any stack filters or scrubbers.
"In-spec" end-user fuels produced were also tested and verified
as ultra-low sulphur.
Management anticipates receiving final reports from CRA after
audit and peer reviews of the testing are concluded. These reports
and permit modifications, which allow a higher feed rate, will be
filed in accordance with NYSDEC permit regulations.
The Company believes that the successful stack test results will
aid significantly when seeking permit exemptions in other U.S.
states. Additionally, the Company believes that these results will
contribute to maximizing production at the existing New York
processing plant.
