What I've been suggesting is that once this plant's operations are in full swing, even a casual drive-by during normal hours will see activity. There will just be too much activity to avoid not seeing anything.
There is going to be a lot of plastic moving in and fuel moving out. Daily. Hourly.
Think about it.
Three processors. Let's say 30 tons of plastic per day per processor (better throughput).
90 tons of plastic per day moving to the facility daily. Not sure how many trucks that will take. The plastic will come in all sorts of shapes, sizes and densities. If it is pre-processed plastic it will require fewer trucks. Still, a bunch of trucks.
30 tons is 27,215 kilograms is 27,215 liters is 7,190 gallons is 163 (44 gallons per barrel) barrels of fuel per processor.
A tanker can haul 200 barrels. So that would be two tankers of fuel coming and going from the facility per day. I don't know how long it takes to fill a truck, but I would guess there would be a truck hanging around for at least a couple of hours a day.
