Industry Challenges Increased requirements with Federal, State and local environmental regulations Limited capacity to create jobs due to air permits Manufacturing expansion limitations due to current emittance levels Ongoing pressure to reduce factory operating costs Productivity efficiency demands
Current VOC Abatement Technologies Types Thermal Recuperative Oxidizer Thermal Regenerative Oxidizer Catalytic Oxidizer Concentrator Oxidizer Main Disadvantages Cost to operate and maintain Limited application window Efficiency level limitations
Airem™ Environmental Solution Combines the efficient removal of VOC air emissions while providing clean and reliable energy Robust industrial gas turbine that is fitted with a uniquely patented reaction chamber Chamber efficiently destroys regulated air emissions (US EPA and state standards) Generates high quality electrical power and thermal energy
Airem™ Environmental Solution Serves approximately 50+ industrial manufacturing categories regulated by the US EPA Empowers states to comply with planning needed to reduce Ozone, pursuant to the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) Exhausted emissions achieve US EPA and State air pollution control standards for stationary sources – “The Clean Air Act”
North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) Class Codes - Application Examples Food Manufacturing: NAICS 311 Beverage and Tobacco Product Manufacturing: NAICS 312 Textile Mills: NAICS 313 Textile Product Mills: NAICS 314 Apparel Manufacturing: NAICS 315 Leather and Allied Product Manufacturing: NAICS 316 Wood Product Manufacturing: NAICS 321 Paper Manufacturing: NAICS 322 Printing and Related Support Activities: NAICS 323 Petroleum and Coal Products Manufacturing: NAICS 324 Chemical Manufacturing: NAICS 325 Plastics and Rubber Products Manufacturing: NAICS 326 Nonmetallic Mineral Product Manufacturing: NAICS 327 Primary Metal Manufacturing: NAICS 331 Fabricated Metal Product Manufacturing: NAICS 332 Machinery Manufacturing: NAICS 333 Computer and Electronic Product Manufacturing: NAICS 334 Electrical Equipment, Appliance, and Component Manufacturing: NAICS 335 Transportation Equipment Manufacturing: NAICS 336 Furniture and Related Product Manufacturing: NAICS 337 Miscellaneous Manufacturing: NAICS 339
Benefits Combined air pollution control and cogeneration solution Increased production efficiency of 20 percent with overall system energy efficiency of approximately 85 percent Annual net operating savings of more than USD $1M with a less than 2-year payback on initial investment Increases lifecycle of equipment by 300% AiremTM offsets air pollutants greater than utility scale renewables, including: ground-level Ozone, toxics, and carbon equivalents (CO2e)
Benefits – cont’d. Empowers states to comply with planning needed to reduce Ozone as determined by the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) Post combustion emissions from stationary gas turbine(s) achieve US EPA and state air pollution control standards Achieve exhausted emissions per US EPA and state air pollution control standards for VOC stationary sources Reduces carbon emission footprint by approximately 60 percent when compared to traditional thermal destruction systems Creates qualified shovel-ready projects and jobs AiremTM offsets or eliminates regulated air emissions greater than utility scale renewables including ground level Ozone, Toxics and carbon equivalents
