	Good evening to all, Is there somebody that can demonstrate to me how much DIESEL fuel can we make by gasification of mixed used PLASTICS? (Example: Kg to liter or pound to ounces) Thank you in advance, H.

	There is a large resource of mixed plastics, awaiting harvesting, floating in the North Pacific, according to reports. __________________ "Did you get my e-mail?" - "The biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place" - George Bernard Shaw, 1856

	I've seen pictures of the trash field. It's HUGH! Literally tons after tons of plastic rubbish. Lots of it ground down to chunks smaller that a millimeter. We humans, or is it humen? are soiling our own nest. Oh, as a concession to those of you who think metric I used mm. Millimeters is the only metric term I can cope with, because I'm familiar with the size of 9 and 10 mm projectiles. Cheers.
