WINSTON-SALEM, N.C., Jan. 13, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Plateau Mineral Development, Inc. (Pink Sheets:PMDP - News) issued a statement today detailing the estimated revenue numbers that are anticipated as a result of the end products of the company's converter unit.
Of all the waste products known, the most expensive is a truck tire. In the United States alone, 300 million tires are thrown away each year. These castoffs are a huge source of automotive-related pollution; the average used tire weighs 22.5 pounds and contains about two gallons of fuel, as well as other combustible carbon compounds. Dumped into huge stockpiles, tires can feed huge fires and contribute to the spread of disease by harboring vermin and serving as mosquito breeding grounds. The purpose of PMD's converter project is to produce an operational production unit that demonstrates the cost-effectiveness of the improved technology needed to reclaim trash items and organize associated environmental clean up at a profit.
The converter unit has been designed to process six tons of scrap tires per day. Based on that figure, the project will begin yielding profit during the first year, and is expected to generate approximately $2,252,838 in revenue annually thereafter.
"Since the units will be mobile, we can transport them in order to produce the products onsite to satisfy our customers and clean up the environment," states Robert Matthews of Plateau Mineral Development, Inc. "Natural gas and carbon black have the potential to generate $140,000 and $236,133 in the first year, respectively, but the majority of the revenue is expected to come from sales of the solvent which is projected to be around $2,300,000 in the first year."
