Waste to Energy
2
The Dawn Of A New Approach

• SOLVING TOMORROWS
• ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEMS
• TODAY

3
Product Description

• Four-phased approach to building a
  Waste to Energy (WTE) Material Recovery
  Facility (MRF)
• Phase I
• Includes small MRF with sorting line and baler
• Can reduce waste stream by about 20
• Phase II
• Increases sorting capabilities by adding sorting
  equipment
• Removes approximately 45 of waste stream

4
Product Description

• Phase III
• Adds composting to Phase II MRF
• Reduces waste stream another 10
• Phase IV
• Incorporates patented Rotary Cascading Bed
  Combustion (RCBC) technology to turn MRF into a
  Waste-to-Energy Plant
• Can reduce entire waste stream to an ash for
• Composting
• land reclamation
• concrete manufacturing

5
Need for Waste to Energy

• Critical need for such facilities
• Worldwide landfill environmental concerns
• 167 countries with prospective customers
• Estimated 300 Billion to be spent on these
  types of facilities over next 10 years
• Spread of costs over time
• Feasibility for even small government units
  companies to take advantage of our technology

6
Need for Waste to Energy

• RCBC technology available 1/3 of cost of other
  boiler/energy systems
• More efficient
• Meets or exceeds all EPA emission standards
• Generation of marketable products
• Produces revenue for owner
• No disposal costs paid to dispose of municipal
  waste
• Sales of recyclables, compost, energy created
  by Waste-to-Energy plant

7
Pricing

• Based on facility handling 300 tons/day of fuel
• A comprehensive Waste-to-Energy plant with MRF
  and all fuel prep will cost approximately
  15,200,000

Four-Line MSW System Overview

• Incorporates
• four infeed systems
• four bag openers
• four primary finger screens
• four secondary finger screens
• ancillary support equipment
• supporting conveyors

9
Four-Line MSW System Overview

• Two Sorting Mezzanines
• equipped with two parallel sorting conveyors for
  sorting the hard recyclables
• aluminum
• tin/ferrous
• glass
• plastics
• Each conveyor passes under an Overhead Belt
  Magnet, then drops onto individual Eddy Current
  Separators (ECS)

10
Four-Line MSW System Overview

• Non-processed material from ECS conveyed to
  Rotary Waste Processor for processing
• Can be used as Refuse Derived Fuel
• Can be conveyed into a Landfill Baler baled
  prior to landfilling
• Plastics stored in bunkers
• baled when sufficient amounts are collected

11
Four-Line MSW System Overview

• Paper cardboard screened as overs from
  Primary Finger Screens conveyed to Sorting
  Mezzanine
• Sorting Mezzanines have 60 wide Sorting
  Conveyors that allows sorting from either side
• Drops sorted items into bunkers below for later
  processing

12
Four-Line MSW System Overview

• Separates
• Organic Material
• Organic material is either
• taken to processing center
• composted
• or landfilled
• Inorganic Material
• Inorganic material conveyed to container and
  either
• taken to landfill
• or shredded into sand-like product

Rotary Cascading Bed Combustion Technology

• Under development since 1981
• Involves a new, unique combination of time tested
  principles
• Creates conditions for clean combustion of
  diverse fuels wastes
• Over 3,500 hours of boiler testing completed in
  Ohio Tennessee Technology Evaluations
• Gasification Technology

Benefits

• A new direction in Public Private Cooperation
  forging constructive, cost effective and
  environmentally sound alliances between
  government and industry for
• the comprehensive management and reuse of
  municipal industrial waste
• the clean efficient utilization of high sulfur
  waste goals with non-recyclable spent resources
  in the generation of industrial power both
  process steam and co generated electricity.

16
Municipal Community Benefits

• No increased waste disposal costs for the
  taxpayer. A community can have a comprehensive
  waste management system including minimization
  recycling, reuse, waste to energy, and landfill
  reduction elements at cost competitive with
  those of unacceptable mass collection/landfill
  disposal operations.
• Up to 70 diversion of materials from landfills
  with the productive use of those diverted
  materials first in reuse needs and secondly
  through clean waste to energy applications.
• Almost total diversion rates with the conversion
  of composts, ashes, sewer sludges and yard wastes
  into natural fertilizers.
• Increased industrial competitiveness preserves
  and protects jobs.

17
Industry Benefits

• Industry can continue to burn lower cost regional
  coals, including waste grades, while fully
  meeting the requirements of the Clean Air Act.
• Energy costs can be lowered through the use of
  throw-away wastes as productive fuels.
• Continued low energy costs protect
  competitiveness and jobs.
• Proof that a cleaner environment can economically
  coexist with continuing low industrial energy
  costs.

18
Fuel Utilization Benefits

• Reduce dependence on imported oils.
• Protect more natural gas for critical commercial
  process and household needs.
• Cleanly utilize the huge domestic supplies of
  higher sulfur coal.
• Open markets for the clean use of wash waste and
  mine waste coals currently being stockpiled.

19
Environmental Benefits

• Reduce land contamination. Practical and
  affordable recycling and reuse programs will keep
  a high proportion of waste out of landfills.
  Substantially lower dependence on landfills.
• Reduce air contamination.
• Protect resources. Productive reuse of waste
  resources means lower rate of use of new
  resources.

20
Environmental Benefits

• From maximizing the economic use of spent
  resources to clean utilization of the huge
  supplies of problem waste coals
  industrial/municipal economics and the
  environment become friendlier rather than
  increasingly adversarial.
• Promote natural fertilizers to replace chemical
  based ones. Combine yard wastes, ashes, composts
  and sewage sludges with nutrients to produce
  natural fertilizers, fills and soil extenders.

21
Public Private Cooperation

• Get government and industry working together on a
  local basis where individual and mutual benefits
  can be readily seen and are more easily and
  rapidly attainable.
