Of the three pyrolysis technologies analyzed, JB

Of the three pyrolysis technologies analyzed, JBI Inc.’s P2O process has the least negative

environmental impact.

JBII, pages 53-54 - Therefore, the overall CO2 emissions of a P2O unit are estimated to be approximately 1,493 tons CO2 per year.

This is one 48 ton unit. Assuming 75.3% availability (275 days/year)

My addition-1824 tons of CO2 is produced at 92% availability.  Direct comparison with Agilyx – about 1/5 of the CO2 emissions, 20% more output.

Although the P2O process uses cooling water for the equipment, no wastewater is generated. The cooling water runs in a closed loop and is never in contact with the chemicals in the process.

Agilyx, page 61-62 - The minimum estimated annual CO2 emissions of the Agilyx process is approximately 8,603 tons of CO2 per year.

This is one 40 ton unit. Operation at 92% availability.

In addition to air emissions, the Agilyx process also generates wastewater. The water used in the spray down of the gaseous products of pyrolysis is mixed with buffer agents and caustics. Agilyx re-uses approximately 80% of its water in its process. However, prior to disposal, this water must be treated because it contains halogens and organic acids. Adequate waste water treatment and increased recycling of water in the Agilyx process are necessary to maintain low environmental impacts of this process 77 .
