JBI, Inc. Receives Permit Amendments for Inclusion of Heat Transfer Fluids in Plastic2Oil(R) Process

Marketwired
JBI, Inc. (the "Company" or "JBI") (OTCQB: JBII), a clean energy
company that recycles waste plastic into liquid fuels, is pleased
to announce that it has received all pertinent permit amendments
from the New York Department of Environmental Conservation
("NYSDEC") to move forward with including heat transfer fluid into
its Plastic2Oil ("P2O®") process.
The permitting allows JBI to use heat transfer fluids ("HTF") in
conjunction with processing plastic in their Plastic2Oil process.
The Company anticipates this will significantly increase its total
production yield. Heat transfer fluids are hydrocarbon-based
liquids; including waste oil, hydraulic oil, cutting fluids,
off-spec lubricants, monomers and waste fuels derived from
oil/water separators. The fluids act as natural densifiers for
lower density plastics and as heat transfer agents that will help
generate large amounts of heat into naturally endothermic, dense,
large pieces of plastic.
"Processing plastic with heat transfer fluid is a huge move
forward in the evolution of our technology," stated JBI's Chief of
Technology, John Bordynuik. He continued, "Our team has the HTF
hardware for our machines already installed, so we're anticipating
minimal changes for our processors in order to be able to almost
immediately begin taking advantage of our permit amendment.
Additionally, our stack emissions based on the December 2012 stack
test with HTF continue to be well within the NYSDEC's standards,
continuing to prove the viable green aspects of our process."
JBI Chief Executive Officer Tony Bogolin commented, "We are
excited about this permit amendment, as we believe it will provide
a boost in productivity and enhance the feedstock flexibility for
the Company."
Since the Company's inception, through March 31, 2013, JBI has
processed approximately 2.8 million pounds of plastic and produced
approximately 482,000 gallons of in-spec end user fuels, including
diesel, fuel oil #6 and naphtha.
