I took a few minutes to go through the American Chemistry Council PDF that was published this month.

It appears to me PTOI was used as the model for the report.

The report uses two different facility models.

For model 1 the cost is $10.6 million for the equipment and for model 2 the cost is $18.8 million.

My conclusion is model 1 is a one processor unit and model 2 would be for two processors. My assumption is each processor would be sold for around $7 to $7.5 million and the remainder of around $3 million per processor sold would be for other equipment. The total number of processors required appears to be 600 to 700 for total potential sales revenue to PTOI of $6.3 to $6.6 billion.

The report assumes 20% of the annual plastic could be processed by the facilities. That works out to around 30 tons per processor per day of operation and, within reason, agrees with the PTOI model.

That amount of plastic would result in $3.7 billion in annual fuel revenue or $5.3 to $6.2 million annually per processor.

The report indicates a total employee count to man the facilities of 6,000 to 8,800. That works out to 11 to 13 full time employees per processor, also within reason of the PTOI model.

Assuming a average annual employee cost of $65,000, the annual payroll per processor would be around $750K.

That leaves $4.5 to $5.5 per processor sold available for things like the cost of plastic, royalties, cost of catalysts, etc. and operating profits.
