JBI, Inc. announced that it has finished assembly of its third Plastic2Oil (P2O(R)) processor at its Niagara Falls facility. The designs behind the third processor have undertaken significant upgrades since the previous generation processors, including the addition of a real-time residue removal process that the company anticipates will increase processor uptime, as measured by the amount of time the processor is at full capacity producing fuel. All individual subsystems, including burners, kilns, towers, off gas, cooling and flue gas systems have been tested and are operational.

Processor 3 is now undergoing initial plastic feeding, fuel production and process debugging, which will address any initial problems and any parts that may potentially fail under the full heat of the process and plastic loads. This testing is consistent with the company's standardized new processor start-up protocol.
