P2O Process Emissions
To ensure that the impact of the P2O process on the environment was minimal, JBI, Inc. committed significant resources to air emissions stack testing with Conestoga-Rovers & Associates (CRA), a global environmental consulting company.Airborne Emissions
In December 2011, CRA completed the stack tests analyzing the emissions from the P2O process. The profile of the emissions generated by the process during the second test is shown here:The emissions documented by CRA from the P2O stack test were lower than what would be produced by the same test on a natural gas furnace of similar size.
The process puts a high percentage of oxygen back into the air, with minimal harmful emissions, well within the regulatory criteria established by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC).
On December 13, 2011, JBI received an air permitting exemption by the environmental protection agency in the state where the initial RockTenn P2O site is being constructed. The environmental permit authority made the determination that this facility does not need an air permit and that the proposed project will comply with all applicable local, state and federal air pollution regulations.
Other Material Residue
An average of 86% of the process output is usable fuel and another approx. 10-12% of the process output is off-gases.The Company is currently seeking a BUD (Beneficial Use Determination) for the purposes of potential sale of its Petcoke residue.
