PRIVATE & CONFIDENTIAL
INTRODUCTION
Waste-to-Energy (WtE) or Energy-from-Waste (EfW) is the process of generating
energy in the form of electricity and/or heat from the management of waste.
Our Plasma Assisted WtE solution is a combination of tried and tested technologies
that is not only able to produce energy from waste and other fuels without direct
combustion, it also has the potential to produce more electric power from the same
amount of fuel than would be possible by direct combustion.
Our WtE solution employs a plasma thermal destruction system that operates in a
closed loop producing almost no air emissions as a by-product of the process. Plasma
is a highly energized gas that will generally exceed 30,000 o
F during operation. The
high temperatures and pressure consume virtually 100% of organic material and
approximately 95% of inorganic material, which is broken down to its elemental
components. It is this high temperature and energy that enables us to offer the key
benefit to customers of "absolute destruction". Any remaining inorganic particulate
matter is generally encapsulated into the glass melt. The process has two primary
by-products: hydrogen rich "syngas" that will be sold or used as fuel or to produce
energy and a glass melt that can be sold for sand blasting grit, road aggregate, or
even disposed of in a landfill because it meets the EPA TCLP standards. The hydrogen
component of the SynGas can also be used as a fuel and for carbonless power
production.
This document briefly outlines our Plasma Assisted WtE Solution so as to give you,
our prospective client, a clearer picture as to how, together, we can change the way
we view our waste: A virtually unlimited, not to mention, valuable source of
feedstock as opposed to a nuisance.
1. SOLUTION OVERVIEW
Our Plasma Assisted Waste-to-Energy Solution is comprised of a number of key
components that when used together, provide any organization (from corporate
entities to municipalities) with a completely sustainable closed loop waste-to-energy
system that not only safely, economically and irreversibly destroys all types of waste
(no matter how hazardous or toxic they may be), it does so without producing
harmful, noxious or dangerous by-products, effluents or emissions.
Typical feedstocks are household and municipal waste, medical waste, sewerage,
tires and chemical waste. Outputs from the systems are electricity, syngas, potable
water and solid aggregates.
The technologies may be “mixed and matched” and are scalable from small to very
large units. The small plants are able to fit onto a flat- bed trailer for portability.
The 4 key components of our technology solution are as follows:
PRIVATE & CONFIDENTIAL PLASMA ASSISTED WTE OVERVIEW 3
1.1. PLASMA CONVERTOR SYSTEM (PCS)
The PCS in an electrochemical system powered by electricity that produces an
intense field of radiant energy, called plasma, that causes the dissociation (or
breaking apart) of the molecular bonds of solid, liquid and gaseous compounds or
materials of both hazardous and nonhazardous wastes (or feedstock), whether
organic or inorganic.
The heart of the PCS is "the plasma chamber", a vessel equipped with a special torch
that produces plasma. Feed materials enter through an airlock system into the vessel
where they are subjected to the intense energy of the plasma field. Materials within
the plasma chamber undergo molecular dissociation and decompose into their
elemental components (or atoms) and are then reformed into recoverable,
nonhazardous commodity products ready for commercial use.
1.2. PLASMA ARC FLOW™ (PAF) TECHNOLOGY
The Plasma Arc Flow™ is a patented technology based on flowing a target liquid
waste through a submerged electric arc between two electrodes. The arc
decomposes the liquid molecules into atoms and forms a plasma around the tips of
the electrodes at about 10,000°F / 5,500 °C. The Plasma Arc Flow moves the plasma
away from the electrodes and controls the formation of MagneGas™ that rises to the
surface for collection.
MagneGas™ is a cost competitive synthetic gas (or SynGas) made from hazardous
liquid wastes such as sewage, sludge, animal manure, glycerin, used antifreeze, some
oil based liquids and waste water. MagneGas™ is a hydrogen-based fuel that has a
combination of hydrogen, carbon monoxide and inert trace gases.

1.3. ENVA CO2-FREE ENERGY MODULE (EM)
The ENVA EM offers a new CO2-free process for generating electric current from low-
temperature (upto 100 o
C) and low-pressure (0.6 – 5 bars) steam, thus enabling the
potential from this lost heat produced in many industrial processes to be made use
of. In addition to its potential using steam as a waste heat source, the process can
also utilize heat from other sources for the generation of electricity, for instance
from solar energy, geothermal heat, or technically conditioned waste heat flows
from power stations and combined heat and power (CHP) plants.
1.4. ATMOSPHERIC WATER GENERATOR (AWG)
The basic technology used for the AWG originated in the mining sector and utilizes
the humidity borne in the air to produce drinking water by means of condensation.
While the systems used in mining were primarily designed for cooling the air, they
simply produced condensation water as a by-product. We use the process in reverse
in order to produce drinking water. The system employs a machine that sucks in
large volumes of air, cools it down to dew point and collects the resulting
condensation water, which can then be filtered and mineralized.
Through this process, pure drinking water can be obtained that meets the quality
standards of the WHO. In regions with high temperatures and high humidity levels, a
single machine can generate up to 50,000 gallons of water per day, thus providing
the water supply for entire villages.

CLEAN WATER PRODUCTIONCLEAN WATER PRODUCTION
Due to the high humidity of the operational environment, robust Atmospheric
Water Generators capture and condensate the ambient moisture-rich air
producing large amounts of potable water that can easily be purified for
drinking purposes or used as is for irrigation, sanitary purposes and even re-
circulated back into the Steam Generation process to produce more steam that
will in turn produce more electricity.

MATERIAL PREPARATIONMATERIAL PREPARATIONAll waste, whether liquid or solid, is first sorted into the following categories:
High CO2
: Car tires, plastic, fly ash, wood, coal, used oils…
Medium CO2
: Organic household and animal waste, human faeces…
Low CO2
: Glass, metal, high moisture content and toxic substances.
The separated and sorted trash is then moved into collection bins and from
there sent to the shredders. The resulting output from the shredders then
becomes the feedstock for the next process.

All resulting Waste Streams are finally recovered and then either recycled or
re-circulated into the system as follows:
Water: this by-product is either purified for drinking or re-used by the system to
produce more steam and thus more energy
Obsidian-like Silicates: can be either re-circulated and re-used by the plasma
converter as further feedstock or sold as aggregate to the construction industry
Recyclable Metals: can be sold to metal recyclers

3. REASONS WHY OUR SOLUTION IS THE BEST CHOICE
1. All trash, be it wet or dry, metal or household can be used. No sorting is
needed.
2. The trash is NOT the energy (heat) source.
3. The Syngas produced out of the trash is the energy delivery component.
4. The energy output is much higher by a factor 50X compared to conventional
systems and is completely CO2 free.
5. Closed-loop solution and therefore No waste (except pristine drinking water).
6. Small and low maintenance operation.
7. Small & Open footprint thanks to our compact plasma conversion process.
8. Guaranteed high power output thanks to our specially designed Steam
generation system.
9. Unlike Incineration, which is a burning process, our Plasma assisted solution
is an electrochemical process that can be shutdown immediately, should the
need arise, by simply shutting off the electricity.
10. Our system can be produced in various configurations that allow it to be used
aboard ships for marine applications, in a truck for mobile applications and in
stationary configurations ranging in capacity from hundreds of 5 tons per day
to thousands of tons per day.
11. Unlike other technologies, no catalysts are required by our solution.
12. Our solution can process low-level radioactive waste. Although the system
does not reduce radioactivity, it can reduce its volume by factors of hundreds
to one.
13. Our solution can achieve "total and irreversible destruction" of hazardous
and toxic compounds and wastes, lethal viruses, bacteria and prions.
14. Our solution is completely computer controlled, easy to use and operates at
normal atmospheric pressure, very safely and quietly.
15. Our solution can process solids, liquids and gases all at the same time.

All converted SynGas is then collected, filtered through water and finally stored for further use in the next process. BY-PRODUCT RECOVERY, RECIRCULATION & RECYCLING BY-PRODUCT RECOVERY, RECIRCULATION & RECYCLING All resulting Waste Streams are finally recovered and then either recycled or re-circulated into the system as follows: Water: this by-product is either purified for drinking or re-used by the system to produce more steam and thus more energy Obsidian-like Silicates: can be either re-circulated and re-used by the plasma converter as further feedstock or sold as aggregate to the construction industry Recyclable Metals: can be sold to metal recyclers All resulting Waste Streams are finally recovered and then either recycled or re-circulated into the system as follows: Water: this by-product is either purified for drinking or re-used by the system to produce more steam and thus more energy Obsidian-like Silicates: can be either re-circulated and re-used by the plasma converter as further feedstock or sold as aggregate to the construction industry Recyclable Metals: can be sold to metal recyclers
  • 7. 3. REASONS WHY OUR SOLUTION IS THE BEST CHOICE 1. All trash, be it wet or dry, metal or household can be used. No sorting is needed. 2. The trash is NOT the energy (heat) source. 3. The Syngas produced out of the trash is the energy delivery component. 4. The energy output is much higher by a factor 50X compared to conventional systems and is completely CO2 free. 5. Closed-loop solution and therefore No waste (except pristine drinking water). 6. Small and low maintenance operation. 7. Small & Open footprint thanks to our compact plasma conversion process. 8. Guaranteed high power output thanks to our specially designed Steam generation system. 9. Unlike Incineration, which is a burning process, our Plasma assisted solution is an electrochemical process that can be shutdown immediately, should the need arise, by simply shutting off the electricity. 10. Our system can be produced in various configurations that allow it to be used aboard ships for marine applications, in a truck for mobile applications and in stationary configurations ranging in capacity from hundreds of 5 tons per day to thousands of tons per day. 11. Unlike other technologies, no catalysts are required by our solution. 12. Our solution can process low-level radioactive waste. Although the system does not reduce radioactivity, it can reduce its volume by factors of hundreds to one. 13. Our solution can achieve "total and irreversible destruction" of hazardous and toxic compounds and wastes, lethal viruses, bacteria and prions. 14. Our solution is completely computer controlled, easy to use and operates at normal atmospheric pressure, very safely and quietly. 15. Our solution can process solids, liquids and gases all at the same time. PRIVATE & CONFIDENTIAL PLASMA ASSISTED WTE OVERVIEW 7
