CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION 5 A Legacy of Hazardous Waste Management. Demolition of Military Weapons Demolition and secure disposal of north, south and east plants leachate materials in the newly designed Hazardous Waste Landfill (HWL) Responsible for the discovery of the M139 Sarin Bomblets in 2000 Logistically assisted the US ARMY in the destruction of the Bomblets using an Explosive Destruction System (EDS) EDS was used to Neutralize the Sarin and fuse of the M139 by chemical agent treatment Assisted the Rocky Mountain Arsenal in achieving OSHA’s Voluntary Protection Program Star Status

CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION 9 State Of The Art Manufacturing Partners Custom systems for any application & complexity
10
Example of A Typical Larger System Nominal Throughput 2,000 lb/hr Depending on nature of waste, density, and related properties
11
Example of A Typical Portable System
12
System Design The design philosophy Optional drying system Odor control system for the emissions from the dryer section Proprietary downdraft gasifier to convert the waste to a BTU laden gas or syngas Heat exchanger designed to recover some heat from the gasifier Odor control system for emissions from the gas engine. Key criteria Simple Flow Characteristics & Economical Operational simplicity Use of well-known and tested components Combination of proven systems as the main differentiating step Parallel line scaling
13
Design Considerations Maintain critical mass (residence capacity) Provide greatest amount of syngas Avoid temperature spikes Irregular generation of syngas Potential overheating of the reactor chamber Air entrainment Scaling would be achieved by modularizing the system Combining a number of syngas generators connected to a common output Scaling of the system would be based on incremental values of 1,500 pounds per hour (0.7 metric tons per hour)
14
Design Considerations No cleaning of the syngas to be undertaken The “dirty syngas” would contain: Carbon monoxide Some carbon dioxide Some residual oxygen and nitrogen (from air) Light VOC’s Soot, other particulates Oil droplets, some char byproducts, and heavier VOC’s
15
Gasifier Output Key Factors Controlling Output (Gas Volume) & Calorific Value Composition Moisture content Estimated net calorific value of 4 - 10 MJ/Nm 3 Depending on composition and gasification temperature Calorific value of natural gas typically 37.5 MJ/Nm3 to 43 MJ/Nm3 When this gas is burned in an IC engine Approximately 518 to 621 kW per ton of MSW
16
Features & Benefits The systems can destroy: All wastes Bulk solid & liquid agents Slurries of agents adsorbed on various media when shredded Contaminated containers, holding vessels and packaging materials when shredded Far more cost effective to build and operate than the hydrolysis process Simple to operate
17
Features & Benefits The Systems can be easily scaled (Mobile to Fixed Site) Compact and modular Can be configured as stand-alone or semi-permanent Skid mounted or containerized Mobilized and demobilized with minimal personnel requirements Can be deployed quickly and operated in land-based or maritime environments Requires no water to operate Generates no harmful byproducts or residues Can be configured as a completely self-contained system with minimal operational energy requirements Requires 3 phase – 480 V power (portable diesel generator – 60 KWh) Small amount of initiating fuel needed (natural gas, propane tank, diesel)
18
Features & Benefits The Process Can Reduce or Eliminate: Undestroyed chemicals Issues With NOx, Heavy Metals Dioxins / Furans High Particulate Other Fugitive Emissions Hazardous Ash / Residue Potentially Hazardous Byproducts From Other Processes
19
Features & Benefits The systems can also destroy the byproducts from other processes None of the negatives or drawbacks of : Hot plasma (burner technology) Chemical sorption or scrubbing Detonation followed by scrubbing Open air detonation or incineration Mass burn Incineration Can operate in semi-batch or continuous mode
