Before anybody foolishly falls for Vadxx....
(1) Yield is 55% to 75% (pathetic) vs. JBII's 98%:
""It ranges between 55 percent to 75 percent by weight on input tonnage, depending on the feedstock in question,"

(2) "Each Vadxx machine cost about $3 million to build"

(3) Their process requires outside energy to run and they estimate the total cost per barrel of $50:

(4) Vadxx licensed the technology from British Petroleum who, and I quote, "goes back nearly two decades.....in 1998, however, the company lost interest and the project was shelved"
"The technology passed through couple of hands, and at some point....He acquired license and ran with it."
"Neither Arnold nor anyone else at Vadxx will go into detail about the technology itself. "

(5) Worse than Agilyx:
"The Vadxx business model consists of selling crude oil produced from its recycling units to energy marketing firms, which then sell the oil to refiners..." (Agilyx at least sells their goo to refiners directly! lol)
