- 1. Pulp Mill Sludge BIO-REFINERY PRESENTATION BY GEORGIA ALTERNATE FUELS, LLC CO-PRODUCTS – BYPRODUCTS FROM SLUDGE WASTE STREAM ETHANOL AND PEROXIDE Extracted from 350 tons per day of waste solids
- 2. BIO-REFINERY OPPORTUNITY • PAPER MILLS PRODUCE WASTE FIBER TO SEWER • WASTE FIBER MUST BE PROCESSED FOR DISPOSAL • WASTE WATER TREATMENT COSTS INCREASE • BOD WATER TREATMENT COSTS ARE INCREASING • WASTE SOLIDS MUST BE DISPOSED OF AT SOME COST TO OPERATIONS • WHAT CAN BE DONE TO CONTROL THESE COSTS?
- 3. BIO-REFINERY JUSTIFICATION Cost Center: Waste fiber stream processing costs $13,000,000 annually: Converted To Profit Center: $64,000,000 annual revenue stream: NET DIFFERENCE - $77,000,000 ANNUAL ADDED REVENUE
- 4. TYPICAL PAPER MILL OPERATIONS WASTE STREAM COSTS
- 5. TYPICAL PAPER MILL OPERATIONS WASTE STREAM REVENUE POTENTIAL
- 6. BIO-REFINERY JUSTIFICATION • COST ESTIMATES ON WASTE SOLIDS DISPOSAL THROUGH WATER TREATMENT, NOT INCLUDING LANDFILLING SOLIDS IF APPLICABLE LABOR - CHEMICALS - YIELD LOSS - ELECTRICITY - MAINTENANCE - ESTIMATED LOSS OF +$107.00 PER TON OF WASTE STREAM SOLIDS
- 7. BIO-REFINERY JUSTIFICATION COST CENTER IS CHANGED TO PROFIT CENTER • A BIO-REFINERY OFFSETS WASTE STREAM PROCESSING COSTS TO PRODUCE VALUABLE BYPRODUCTS • HOW? – BY CONVERTING A WASTE STREAMS CHEMICAL COMPOSITION INTO USEFUL MATERIALS – USE SPECAILLY DESIGNED CATALYSIS TO ACCOMPLISH THE REACTIVE WORK NECESSARY TO ADD CORPORATE INCOME INSTEAD OF COSTS • A BIO-REFINERY CAN HAVE A DOUBLING AFFECT ON CORPORATE PROFITS, BY CONVERTING A COST CENTER INTO A REVENUE CENTER
- 8. BIO-REFINERY JUSTIFICATION • PAPER MILLS TRADITIONALLY HAVE ONE REVENUE CENTER AND ALL OTHER DEPARTMENTS ARE COST CENTERS • BIO-REFINERY JUSTIFICATION CONVERTS A PLANTS COST CENTER INTO A REVENUE CENTER • HOW? – SEE THE NEXT SLIDE
- 9. BIO-REFINERY JUSTIFICATION • Convert waste fiber to Glucose Sugars using a specially designed atmospheric pressure catalysis reactor developed by GEORGIA ALTERNATIVE FUELS (GAF) • Waste fiber is converted into simple sugar, fermented, and produces (ETHANOL and CARBON DIOXIDE) • Inert solids pass through the process • CARBON DIOXIDE is captured, catalytically reacted and converted into additional (augmentation) ETHANOL with a Peroxide water solution byproduct. The techniques are developed using GAF’s HETEROGENEOUS catalysis reactor technology.
- 10. BIO-REFINERY JUSTIFICATION Byproduct Value • Current market price for ethanol ~$4.00 per gallon • Current market price for Peroxide is ~$6.50 per gallon • Estimated daily byproduct production from 350 tons waste fiber solids per day ETHANOL PRODUCT FROM WASTE FIBER • 560,000 pounds fiber solids per day • Daily Production, approximately – +30,000 gallons of ethanol – Augmented Ethanol 6,000 gallons – Total daily Ethanol +36,000 gallons – Annual Ethanol gallons, ~12,000,000 • Daily Ethanol Value @$4.00 per gallon – $144,000 daily revenue – Cost avoidance also adds an additional $36,000 to Corporate daily revenue • Total Daily potential revenue from Bio-refinery $180,000 • $63,000,000 annual profit to Corporate Income from existing waste stream operations
- 11. BIO-REFINERY JUSTIFICATION Byproduct - PEROXIDE • PEROXIDE byproduct is estimated and approximately equal to the amount of augmented Ethanol produced from Fermentation Carbon Dioxide gas • Peroxide daily production, estimated at 6,000 gallons or 50,000 pounds – This should be sufficient Peroxide to supply +100% of a Newsprint Mills daily production bleaching needs, at 10 pounds per ton bleach rate – Based on $6.50 per gallon Peroxide purchase price – PEROXIDE VALUE $39,000 daily or $13,000,000 annually

- 13. WHITE BIRCH - PAPER MILL BIO-REFINERY ETHANOL – PEROXIDE BYPRODUCTS
- 14. WHITE BIRCH - PAPER MILL BIO-REFINERY JUSTIFICATION SUMMARY • CONVERT WASTE STREAM INTO VALUABLE PRODUCTS • ADD CASH TO CORPORATE INCOME • REDUCE COSTS • REDUCE CARBON EMISSIONS • OFFSET PETROLEUM USE • GENERATE VALUABLE PULP MILL CHEMICALS AT LOW COST • GENERATE VALUABLE PAPER PRODUCTION CHEMICALS • SIGNIFICANTLY IMPROVE OPERATING MARGINS • CREATE VALUE – ADD VALUE TO EXISTING OPERATIONS • BE A MARKET LEADER • ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY PROCESSES, PAPER BIO- REFINERY OF THE FUTURE FROM WASTE STREAM
- 15. WHITE BIRCH - PAPER MILL BIO-REFINERY JUSTIFICATION SUMMARY • ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDS OF WASTE STREAMS, THE FIRST SUCH OPERATION IN THE WORLD • GENERATE $77,000,000 ANNUALLY FROM A COST CENTER, AND REDUCE CARBON FOOTPRINT ~20,000 TONS PER YEAR. REMOVE EQUIVALENT +20,000 CARS FROM THE HIGHWAY PER YEAR • PRODUCE 12,000,000 GALLONS OF ENVIRONMENTALLY RESPONSIBLE AND FRIENDLY ETHANOL, NOT FROM FOOD SOURCES • PRODUCE 2,100,000 GALLONS OF ENVIRONMENTALLY RESPONSIBLE AND FRIENDLY PEROXIDE ANNUALLY
