"Techisbest" shares an email exchange he had with CEO Bordynuik regarding the Stack Test and permits required for P2O approval
Stack Test email exchange with JB...
Email correspondence with John Bordynuik regarding the stack test...
My questions are in quotes.
Quote: “Is JBII in the middle of a 30-day testing period that culminates in the stack test? Was the DEC there to oversee that start of that 30-day testing period?”
These are material and I cannot answer them however very few people seem to understand what a permit process is like. Air permits are much different than building, use, etc.. . It can be difficult or easy, lengthy or quick depending on the quality of your data, the particular permit you are applying for, existing permits on the site, information about the process, emissions, etc. In some cases the state authority requires a full permit prior to purchase or assembly. They have the latitude to make decisions on a case by case basis based on all the factors and information.
In our case we require a simple air permit. There have been many fantastic stories about the various permits that “might be required” however the only permit we need is a simple air permit. As I advised a while ago, and due to the permit and stack already permitted at our site, we were able to assemble for a stack test. The industry calls these as-built temp permits that allow a machine to be assembled and tested to gather data for a final production permit (be it air, use, whatever).
“Also, are two separate tests needed? One for the processor and one for the furnace?”
No, two separate tests are not needed. We require a simple air permit. We only have one stack which is attached to the output of our furnace. For a simple air permit a company needs to have it’s stack tested 3 times (in one day of production). Material balance, residue, and process information including a confidential portion of the permit (trade secrets) are also included if they affect emissions.
“Hope things are progressing well with getting the production system in place.”
Things are going very well and we are working hard on P2O and the fuel blending site.

John Bordynuik

What could recycling activists do at this point? If/When should governments be pushed to fund processors? What strategies for optimizing capturing municipal waste plastic could we work on? (Where should I be asking these question?)
