EnerTech Environmental, Inc All rights reserved. EnerTech: Converting Biosolids into Renewable Fuel Air and Waste Management Association Fall Conference Atlanta, Georgia PROTECTING PUBLIC HEALTH AND THE ENVIRONMENT FOR GENERATIONS TO COME. October 7, 2010

2EnerTech Environmental, Inc All rights reserved. Contents Company Overview The SlurryCarb ® Process Rialto Facility Energy Advantage Carbon Benefits Regulatory Overview

3EnerTech Environmental, Inc All rights reserved. Company Overview Formed in 1992 Headquartered in Atlanta Proprietary and proven technology with three demonstration facilities Licensed technology to Mitsubishi for Asian market Operating first commercial facility in Rialto, Southern California Expanded to the UK market in August 2009

4EnerTech Environmental, Inc All rights reserved. The SlurryCarb ® Process AD = biogas

5EnerTech Environmental, Inc All rights reserved. Benefits of SlurryCarb ® Long-term Sustainable Solution for Biosolids Management –Typical contracts for 20 to 30 years (DBOO) Permanent Biosolids Recycling –Eliminates the need for land application & land filling Renewable energy production –Increased biogas yields enhance potential for on-site energy generation –Additional fiscal incentives (Carbon offsets) –eFuel used to replace solid fossil fuels Hedge Against Fuel Cost Risk –Utilizes significantly less energy than heat drying –Minimizes exposure to fuel cost volatility

6EnerTech Environmental, Inc All rights reserved. Price Stability; Reduced Operating Costs –Fixed long-term price Reduced CO 2 emissions –CO 2 emissions are lower than a similarly sized thermal drying facility –eFuel produced by a facility the size of Rialto offsets 80,000 tons of GHGs per year –Biogas used as a fuel on-site produce biogenic CO 2 emissions (instead of anthropogenic) Benefits of SlurryCarb ® (cont.)

7EnerTech Environmental, Inc All rights reserved. Benefits of SlurryCarb ® (cont.) – Net energy generation A SlurryCarb ® eFuel facility is a net generator of energy. In other words, eFuel contains significantly more energy than a facility consumes producing it, as the example energy profile demonstrates below. (1) 1 kWh = 3,413 Btu (2) Assumes 8,230 Btu/lb dry eFuel from undigested sludge (1) 400 WTPD at 24% solids = 96 dry tons (solids) tons H 2 O (2) 82 WTPD at 95% solids = 78 dry tons (solids) + 4 tons H 2 O (3) Only includes boiler (i.e. no burners associated with control equipment) (4) Correcting for efficiency of the motors; typical efficiency is 90%. Uncorrected electrical = 54 MWH Energy Consumed(MMBtu) Net natural gas441 Electric power (1) 205 Total Energy Consumed 646 Energy Produced(MMBtu) eFuel (2) 1,350 Net Energy704

8EnerTech Environmental, Inc All rights reserved. eFuel: Permanent Biosolids Recycling Heating value of 5,500-8,300 Btu/lb in dry form Can be utilized in multiple coal applications –Cement kiln –Gasifier –Coal-fired power station –Waste boiler – other boilers for power generation Minimizes fossil fuel consumption Certified as a renewable fuel in California Benefits of replacing coal with eFuel: –Costs less than coal –Reduces emissions of SO 2 –Reduces GHG emissions –Increases use of renewable energy

10EnerTech Environmental, Inc All rights reserved. EnerTech Environmental has constructed a biosolids-to-renewable fuel facility in Rialto, Southern California –Construction began: April 2007 –First truckload of biosolids processed: October 2008 At full capacity, the facility will generate over 60,000 tons of renewable fuel (eFuel) per year Use of eFuel in lieu of coal will offset over 80,000 tons of greenhouse gases Rialto SlurryCarb ® Facility Renewable Fuel from Biosolids

11EnerTech Environmental, Inc All rights reserved. The Rialto SlurryCarb™ Facility Biosolids from the region The Rialto Facility ~170 TPD eFuel to cement kiln Current stakeholders include five municipalities: LACSD208 wtpd OCSD225 wtpd City of Riverside150 wtpd City of San Bernardino75 wtpd City of Rialto 25 wtpd 683 wtpd

16EnerTech Environmental, Inc All rights reserved. How Much Renewable Energy? The facility will generate over 60,000 tons of renewable eFuel annually That’s enough renewable eFuel to produce 792,000 mmBTU annually The average home in the United States annually consumes about 83 mmBTU of energy 1 If used to produce electricity, the Rialto Facility would generate enough energy to power around 9,500 homes per year There are approximately 25,000 households in the City of Rialto 2 Equivalent eFuel consumption would provide enough power for 38% of the city’s homes 1 US D EPARTMENT OF E NERGY C ENSUS

17EnerTech Environmental, Inc All rights reserved. Rialto’s Energy Advantage: Savings by Design Savings by Design (SbD) provides technical and financial resources to help commercial and industrial customers save energy and money when they design, expand, or change new or existing processes and facilities The five processes that were optimized at the Rialto facility include the heat transfer fluid system, anaerobic digester, heat exchanger, thermal oxidizer, and dryer

18EnerTech Environmental, Inc All rights reserved. Summary: Savings by Design Due to participation in the program, the Rialto SlurryCarb ® Facility is expected to save in excess of 3 million therms annually EnerTech was presented with an incentive check for $1M from SoCalGas for the energy savings it has received from participating in the program

19EnerTech Environmental, Inc All rights reserved. Rialto Life Cycle Analysis of GHG Emissions Producing and using eFuel as a coal substitute results in a net reduction of 101,600 tons per year CO 2 e vs. conventional drying and land application SlurryCarb to E-Fuel Coal Substitute Conventional Drying to Land Application
