Copyright © Rational Energies, LLC 2009 What We Do Convert Waste into High Performance Green Diesel We produce a biomass based renewable clean diesel with the exact characteristics of ASTM Spec D975 #1 Diesel We contract with garbage haulers who pay us a market rate tipping fee to take their garbage We sell our product to heavy vehicle fleet owners Newest Next Generation Technology – We have a proprietary production process and a business model that is economically, ecologically and socially sustainable
Copyright © Rational Energies, LLC 2009 Production Starts With Waste Processing #1 Haulers dump their garbage in our indoor facility #2 We shred the garbage into small pieces #3 We then separate out metals and other materials and lower the moisture content The processed waste is then fed onto our fuel production process
Copyright © Rational Energies, LLC 2009 Fuel Production Overview #1 Using indirect heat and pressure we reduce processed waste into Syngas and ash #2 We then clean the syngas, compress it and pass it over a catalyst converting ½ into Fischer- Tropsch diesel and wax. The remainder is used as energy to sustain the process #3 Using our excess hydrogen we upgrade FT wax and inedible fats into additional renewable clean diesel fuel
