"Zardiw" takes P2O tour & opines

The Plastic to oil machine was running when we got there. It is a CONTINUOUS Feed process. Sensors have been added in many places to monitor all aspects of the machine.

When we walked in there was a 48" or so LCD on the wall with a diagram of all the working parts. At first I thought this was just a schematic of the machine.

But when I asked, I was told that this LCD monitors the entire process. There are over 40 or so datapoints, and the numbers change on the LCD to reflect temperatures/pressures at various points. Blown away by the tremendous amount of work and technology that went into this. I was watching the numbers change as the machine was running.

We were handed a sample of the output in a small jar...It smelled exactly like diesel/gasoline and was a light amber color.

The stack from the burner puts out basically Water and CO2...the same as burning natural gas in your home heater....there are NO emissions at all.

There is actually a surplus of the output gas that runs the machine.It's a production industrial continuos feed processing machine. There are 2 funnel type feeders. We were shown samples of the plastic that goes in. We were handed a jar of what comes out. We saw the machine running through a large window. We were in a room next to where the machine was running. We heard it running when Dr. Jacob Smith opened the door for a bit. The output is piped into a couple of tankers outside the building. It's not the kind of machine where you can see somebody dumping plastic in one end and fuel pouring out the other into some 5 gallon buckets.....it's an enclosed process....no oxygen is let in. And it is ready for production....it wasn't designed to prove beyond a doubt that plastic actually is going in and diesel is coming out.

I went up and watched the control panel LCD. I could see the numbers changing up and down a little as temperature/pressure and the fuel level in the output tank were changing.

Very impressive to say the least.....Actually blown away........z
