23 Comparative Advantages and Analysis of the BioEarth QES System Pyrolysis Methodology (The process of using heat to break down complex substances into simpler substances by the use of heat) BioEarth QES System Competitor Pyrolysis Systems 1. Feedstock Inputs and methodology The leading edge BioEarth QES system is a continuous feedstock system which operates under normal pressures making it easier to control the explosive fuel gas containing hydrogen and which is discharged during the pyrolysis process. This makes the BioEarth QES system much safer than the traditional systems used by BioEarth QESs competitors which operate under high pressures. Further since the BioEarth QES system is continuous, it does not have to be shut down to cool the rising temperatures and reduce the high pressures that are incurred by the competitors who use the traditional pyrolysis systems. Also since the BioEarth QES system operates continuously, it does not have to be shut down and therefore is much more energy efficient than the batch system used by some of BioEarth QESs competitors. The Competitors use a batch system (earliest developed pyrolysis system) or a different version of the continuous system which both operate under high pressures. This increases the danger of leakage in the explosive fuel gas created in the pyrolysis process, which increases the risk and danger of explosion. Further under the batch system the operator can only reload the feedstock once the pressures are reduced and the high temperature is cooled. This process of shutting down the pyrolysis operation to accommodate the cooling of temperatures and reducing of pressures the results in energy loss and operation time, thereby making it a much less efficient pyrolysis system.

24 Comparative Advantages and Analysis of the BioEarth QES System Pyrolysis Methodology (The process of using heat to break down complex substances into simpler substances by the use of heat) BioEarth QES SystemCompetitor Pyrolysis Systems 2. Heat SourcesThe BioEarth QES system uses a mixed heat source incorporating the uses of gas, or diesel together with steam. By incorporating the use of steam the feedstock materials are heated uniformly throughout as the steam penetrates into the center of the feedstock materials creating a more uniform heated feedstock rather than the single heat source used by BioEarth QESs competitors. Further, once the pyrolysis process is initiated in the BioEarth QES system, fuel gas is created in the combustion chamber which is captured, and the dioxins, sulfur and other toxic materials removed and the clean fuel gas is reused as a fuel source for the combustion chamber. In essence the BioEarth QES system, once started, creates its own fuel, thereby eliminating the need for an external fuel source. The competitors use a single heat source which chars the surface of the feedstock, but does not penetrate effectively below the surface of the feedstock material resulting in the internal portions of the feedstock materials remaining significantly cooler than the surface. This results in incomplete cracking (the breakdown of complex substances into smaller molecules using heat) of the feedstock material. This process results in a lower quality of carbon black, making it unsalable. The conventional competitor pyrolysis systems simply burn off the fuel gas released, thereby releasing dioxins and sulfur into the atmosphere, creating an environmental hazard.

25 Comparative Advantages and Analysis of the BioEarth QES System Pyrolysis Methodology (The process of using heat to break down complex substances into simpler substances by the use of heat) BioEarth QES System Competitor Pyrolysis Systems 3. Pyrolysis and Heating Process The BioEarth QES System uses a Two stage process which is steam activated and uses an indirect heating system incorporating direct steam heating. This system results in a fast pyrolysis, short processing time, minimal energy consumption, complete treatment of the organic material, high quality by-products and a safer pyrolysis process through the use of steam. The BioEarth QES System can operate at a temperate up to 850C in its second Stage. The reason a Two stage process is required is that different organic waste materials require different temperatures to treat them. It is impossible to treat a wide range of organic compounds in the stage One process. Although most organic compounds can be cracked between 350C and 420C and 95% of organic compounds will be decomposed to become fuel oil and fuel gas under 450C leaving 5% of the organic material unprocessed. To treat the remaining 5% of organic material a higher temperate is required, so a Two stage process is used which can operate at temperatures up to 850C. To crack used tires a suggested The competitors use indirect heating systems which operate at processing temperature less than 450C. As this method does not effectively penetrate heat into the internal feedstock materials, a longer processing time is required. Further, it often results in an incomplete treatment which results in a lower quality of by-products. Also the poor thermal conductivity of this process requires more energy consumption and reduces the safety of pyrolysis process.

26 Comparative Advantages and Analysis of the BioEarth QES System Pyrolysis Methodology (The process of using heat to break down complex substances into simpler substances by the use of heat) BioEarth QES SystemCompetitor Pyrolysis Systems 3. Pyrolysis and Heating Process (continued) temperature of 500C and 600C for coal is required in the Second Stage of the BioEarth QES system. These are temperatures that the competitors single heat source systems do not achieve. 4. Cracking Time for Tire ChipsThe BioEarth QES system takes approximately 2 minutes to completely decompose 10cm2 of used tire chips to fuel oil and fuel gas at 400C. The standard cracking time for tire chips is less than 10 – 15 minutes. The traditional indirect heat system alone used by the competitors takes in excess of 8 minutes to decompose 10cm2 of used tire chips. The standard cracking time for the conventional batch system is greater than 1.2 hours and greater than 35 minutes for the conventional continuous system for each ton of feedstock inputs. 5. Energy Efficiency The BioEarth QES system operates at an energy efficiency exceeding 85% The competitor batch systems operate at an efficiency level of less than 30%. The traditional continuous competitor systems operate at an efficiency level of less than 50%.

27 Comparative Advantages and Analysis of the BioEarth QES System Pyrolysis Methodology (The process of using heat to break down complex substances into simpler substances by the use of heat) BioEarth QES System Competitor Pyrolysis Systems 6. Product Quality (a) Oil, sulfur content (b) Carbon Quality The BioEarth QES system uses steam to produce a light fuel oil similar to diesel fuel containing less than 1% sulfur and can achieve sulfur content as low as 0.3% without the use of a catalyst. This lower sulfur content oil commands a higher selling price. Further the BioEarth QES system produces less Tar sand than the competitors systems making BioEarth QESs products more attractive to the Buyers. The BioEarth QES system produces a carbon black with less than 0.1% oil content which meets the N220 or N330 carbon black specifications and has a BET rating or 120-800 (Adsorption Surface Area). The resulting carbon black has a high iodine absorption rate and high surface area making it a desirable By- product. The fact that there is indiscernible amount of oil is significant because carbon black cannot have oil content as the oil will cause a chemical reaction and affect the process in plastic or rubber production. If carbon black contains an oil compound it will burn and cannot be sold. The competitors using the traditional pyrolysis systems cannot normally produce oil having a sulfur content of less than 2 % without the use of catalysts. Further the competitors traditional pyrolysis systems cause a tar sand problem and produce dirty oil. The competitors using the traditional systems cannot produce a carbon black having less than 1% oil content which makes for a non saleable carbon waste with a BET rating of less than 60. Further the iodine absorption and surface area are low.

Operating EfficienciesThe BioEarth QES system is a total cracking system producing a high quality carbon black for sale which is in high demand. Further the fast cracking time of less than 15 minutes increases the efficiency of operation over that of the competitors. Further the BioEarth QES system does not require a total vacuum like that of our competitors which makes the BioEarth QES system a safer operating system than that of our competitors. The competitors using the traditional pyrolysis systems result in an incomplete cracking of feedstock. This produces a low quality of carbon black which contains an unacceptable level of oil, with a low iodine absorption surface area such that this product cannot be sold. Further the cracking times for the traditional systems are greater than 30 minutes and require a total vacuum during the cracking process. As a result these systems have more safety concerns than the BioEarth QES system. 8. Application RangeThe BioEarth QES system is multi- purpose using any kind of organic material, coal etc, and can remove mercury and other toxic substances. The competition using the traditional pyrolysis systems are single purpose and lack the flexibility of the BioEarth QES system. 9. Environmental ImpactThe BioEarth QES system requires no waste burning and is free of air- pollution and carcinogenic dioxins. There are no secondary pollutants. The competition requires a landfill for the waste carbon and some traditional systems have a high degree of air and dioxin pollution. Further a secondary pollutant resulting from the traditional pyrolysis systems is slag-dust.

By ProductsThe By-products of the BioEarth QES system are gas, oil, steam recovery, power, carbon black, fertilizer and metal recovery depending on the feedstock input materials used. The traditional pyrolysis systems only have Power and steam as By-products and these are only generated from large scale pyrolysis systems. 11. Operating cost (US$/ton) The operating cost of the BioEarth QES system is below 30 dollars per ton. The competitors using the traditional pyrolysis systems have operating costs in excess of 150 dollars per ton. 12. Extra Environmental CostsThe pyrolysis operations of the BioEarth QES system produce no air pollution and require no land fill for disposable of waste materials. The competitors using the traditional pyrolysis systems incur high costs for air pollution control and land fill charges for disposal of waste materials. 13. Projected Pay Back on Investment Less than 2 years after commencement of production. The Competitors high capital cost (exceeding $5,000,000 USD) and higher operating costs result in a Pay-back period exceeding 7 years from the commencement of production.
