News about thermal depolymerization (turkey->oil) by Arcanum2006-11-19 12:55:59
  I somehow recall... by lurker69 2004-04-05 08:12:09
...to have seen this technology here in Europe already about 4 years ago.
What I do not believe:
- no remainders: besides water, CO2, crude oil, methan, propan and other flamable gases you *will* have heavy metal problems and either further residues, or your fertilizer will also be poinsonous, or your crude oil will have so called catalyst poisons disturbing refining the usual way.

The problems then had been
- even lower oil price
- residues when converting more than only food reminders
- long time stability of the high-pressure part of the factory
- s.th. I can't remember anymore :-)

Note that I consider it not impossible this try is a much better one but I am sure there are still some principal problems left (for the reader as an exercise)...
