Rapidly Growing Market• Landfills & incinerators are
poor solutions for waste treatment.
• New landfills are difficult to permit and site in US & already capped in EU.
• New incinerators very difficult to permit & site.
• Total worldwide waste treated by old thermal technology is 180 MTPY.
• W2E thermal gasification can reduce waste volume over 90% & ash may be sold.
• Decentralized processing reduces costs & GHGs.
• Renewable energy needed to replace fossil fuel and cut GHGs.
• US is largest biomass energy market in world with 350 plants but producing only 1% of total power.
• EU expects at least 100 new thermal conversion plants by 2012 due to landfill cap.
• Human waste is good fuel for energy conversion & likely to double in 20 years.
EWI Business LinesEWI designs & builds waste gasification plants using:
• Batch Oxidation System (BOSTM) thermal gasifiers:
– Large, modular / train plants.
– Small, specialized-use plants.
• Continuous-Feed Mass Conversion System (MCSTM) technology for biomass and larger MSW.
• W2E has access to complementary technologies for waste densification and carbon-based clinical waste destruction.
BOSTM Gasification Concept
Untreated and variable mixed waste is gasified in batches in Primary Gasification Chambers (PGCs) under starved-air conditions to generate hot syngas. The syngas is then conveyed to a Secondary Combustion Chamber (SCC) where excess air is added to oxidize the gas in a controlled environment. Heat from the SCC is recovered in a boiler to produce steam that drives a turbine to generate electricity.
BOSTM Schematic
BOSTM Primary Chamber• Top & side loading for
easy BATCH operation.• Slow gasification reduces
fly ash and heavy metals.• Non-toxic residue.• Accepts:
– Unsorted MSW.– Animal carcasses.– Whole tires.– Biomass.– Mixed loads.22 MTPD BOS, Husavik, Iceland
BOSTM Primary Gasification
• Starved-air highly exothermic reaction.
• Reduces volume of waste up to 97%.
• Internalized process avoids pollution.
• Outputs syngas and clean, carbon-free ash.
Bottom ash, metals, and glass after cool down at remote site with no recycling. Bottom ash is non-toxic, virtually free of carbon, and passes EPA’s TCLP test.
BOSTM Bottom Ash
BOSTM Secondary Oxidation
• Clean-burning, high-temperature oxidation.
• Generate steam and / or electricity.
• High temperature (1200C) destroys dioxins.
• Cleanest emissions.

• Capacity can be added or taken off line as needed.
• Plants can be built for current needs rather than for projected waste streams 20 to 30 years in future.
• Decentralized processing can eliminate long-distance hauling of waste to central facilities.
• Individual communities, military bases, and industrial sites can take responsibility for their own waste rather than shipping it to someone else.

BOSTM Plant Layout
BOSTM Case StudiesLarge-Scale BOS with Energy Recovery:
• 120 mtpd MSW/industrial waste
• 2 process trains each with 4 primary chambers and 1 secondary chamber.
• 1 heat recovery boiler and 1 steam turbine – 5 MWe.
• Inert ash 3-7% by volume.
• 93% operating factor.
• $20-25 MM capital cost.
• Annual O&M $1.4 MM.
• 18 month schedule.
• 2 acre foot print.
• 72 foot stack height.
• Boom loaders.
Small-Scale BOS without Energy Recovery:
• 4 mtpd MSW.
• 1 primary and 1 secondary chamber.
• Steam energy recovery only.
• Inert ash 5-10% by volume.
• 98% operating factor.
• $0.3-0.5 MM capital cost.
• Annual O&M $50-75 K.
• Less than 6 month schedule.
• 500 sq ft foot print.
• 25 foot stack height.
• Conveyor or hand loading.
BOSTM Capacity Range
• 60 MTPD Process Train will be basis for larger plants
• Small size unit typically one Primary Gasifier and one Secondary Combustion unit– Smaller portable units also available
• Mid-size unit based on Husavik
at 22 MTPD is two Primary Gasifiers and one Secondary Combustion unit– $3-4 M without energy recovery
Reasonably consistent biomass material is fed continuously into a vertical, starved-air gasification chamber with an innovative V-shaped hearth. Syngas produced in the lower zone of the chamber is fully oxidized in the upper zone of the chamber. Heat recovery and power generation are similar to the BOS, but the MCS has cost advantages for larger capacities.
MCSTM Gasification Concept

MCSTM Primary Gasification • Automatic, continuous feed
using augers or rams.• Totally continuous
operation.• Low-temperature
gasification in V-hearth produces syngas.
• Syngas released up to oxidation in same tower.
• Easy ash removal by ram during operation.
Innovative V-shaped hearth with abrasion-resistant refractory and no moving grate at bottom of chamber.
MCSTM Secondary Oxidation
• Takes place in upper section of tower.
• Time/Temperature/ Turbulence (GCP).
• Can generate steam and / or electricity.
• Meets US & EU emission standards after scrubbing.
MCSTM Loading & Ash Removal
Waste to Energy
• Most waste has high energy content that can be recovered as heat.
• W2E is forming strategic partnerships for specialized heat recovery as process heat, steam and utilities incouding generating electricity.
• Economic energy recovery now possible at much lower waste gasification rates

Intellectual Property
• Patent pending in Iceland and with Patent Cooperation Treaty between EU and NAFTA
• Broad system coverage including batch operation and process control to optimize environmental performance and energy recovery
Competition• Landfill capacity capped in EU and declining in other developed
countries.• Developing countries now adopting sustainability standards.• Incineration is environmentally inferior to and more costly than
BOSTM and MCSTM.• Other gasification technologies require pre-treatment of waste
and are more costly than BOSTM and MCSTM .• Only a few credible competitors including Wheelabrator, Van
Roll, Martin & Keppel, and Shegers.• Only Energos and Eco-Canada target modular process trains,
and their experience is limited.
BOSTM and MCSTM Competitive Advantages • No pre-treatment of wastes.• Tolerate variable waste.• Modular design & low cost allows
decentralization.• Complete destruction of wastes. • Production of heat and syngas for
energy recovery.• Inert ash suitable for road or
building materials.• Emissions meet US & EU EPA
standards.• Process versus material handling
approach to waste disposal – more control.
• Recover more recyclables such as metals and glass.
• Easy interface with conventional waste heat recovery and steam turbine power generation.
• Lower capital cost.• Lower operating cost:
– Automatic operation minimizes labor cost.
– Few moving parts minimizes M&R.
– Proprietary air control technology minimizes auxiliary fuel usage.
Why the BOSTM? • Other waste conversion technologies require costly sorting and
processing to produce consistent fuel.
• Other waste conversion technologies require large-scale, centralized processing plants.
• Large-scale, centralized plants must be built to projected peak loads 20 to 30 years out and are nearly always under-designed.
• Traditional thermal technologies generate large quantities of toxic ash and poor air emissions.
• BOSTM converts municipal, industrial, commercial, medical, tire, hazardous, biomass, human, and animal wastes as mixed waste with no sorting or processing.
• BOSTM has lower capital and operating costs.
22 MTPD mixed waste and tires, Husavik, Iceland (startup 2006; permitted and designed for expansion)
– Energy recovery for local heating.
120 MTPD mixed waste, Dumfries, Scotland(startup October 2008; permitted and designed for expansion to 180 mtpd in 2010) – Energy recovery for green power generation .
BOSTM WTE Examples
Why the MCSTM?• High-volume, continuous-feed, single-stage thermal
conversion of consistent wastes such as biomass.
• Innovative V-shaped hearth eliminates moving grate.
• Similar design and manufacturing philosophy to BOS but a continuous-feed, single-stage process for application to consistent wastes.
• Lower capital and operating costs and higher efficiency than other thermal conversion technologies.
400 MTPD tobacco waste, Gudang, Indonesia (startup 2005).
200 MTPD wood hog fuel, Thora, Australia (startup March 2008).
MCSTM Examples
With BOSTM and MCSTM, industrial users Can:
• Reduce landfill by over 90% or may eliminate landfill entirely by selling inert ash as aggregate for concrete or road surfacing.
• Generate process heat & steam for plant or for sale.
• Generate electricity for plant or for sale.
• Generate Carbon Credits and Renewable Energy Credits to meet GHG reduction goals or for sale.
With BOSTM and MCSTM , commercial users can:
• Receive tipping fees for waste.
• Receive alternative wastes.
• Receive revenues from electricity – likely higher than norm due to “green” classification.
• Reduce landfill and other disposal costs.
