Going on the idea the plant has the ability to do as promised ........I was quite buoyed when it was agreed that the company would be paid by weight to take the feed stock, Although am concerned about the purity of the feedstock as that from the supplier end will have it's own economic model that most likely will always affect the purity which sounds like it will determine the success processing.
I have previously worked in a manufacturing plant that used crushed laminate glass and what we called at the plant 'cullet' incorrectly, being that it was recycled bottle glass supplied by Visy and was basically reclaimed through residential rubbish bin glass. The impurities in the supply were constantly changing and were a matter of economic benefit to the supplier. I am very concerned that the project could very well hinge on the purity of the feedstock which may be outside the control of the company and the ability of the plant to process the impurities of the feed stock.

Yes impurities are always an issue , I believe they will not be processing polyvinyl chloride (PVC) waste which should reduce the amount of corrosion (from chlorine gas) in the reactor and condenser and fractionating tower and pipework .
