2 COMPANY OVERVIEW Glorin Group ( Glorin ) is a fast growing international company that develops and builds sustainable and cost effective solutions for waste utilization and renewable energy production Our innovative waste-to-energy plants generate electricity, heat and/or liquid fuels from waste with minimal impact to the environment Our mission is to transform the poisonous waste into clean energy, recovered resources and revenue Glorin has an assembly facility in Slovakia and development teams in United Kingdom, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Romania and Poland 2

3 GLORIN GROUP TECHNOLOGY Our comprehensive waste-to-energy solution consist of two key components: Green Box Technology ( GBT ) mobile waste processing units that dry, sterilize, and shred MSW and any other type of waste that can be biologically decomposed; units are installed in local towns and/or landfills to produce safe, odorless pellets (RDF). Blue Box Technology ( BBT ) thermochemical conversion unit that transforms pellets produced by the GBT units into high calorific value fuel gas without the participation of oxygen; unit capacity can be adjusted based on local needs. Key advantages of our and proven and tested technology include: High efficiency, with complete utilization of material and power resources Sustainable, continuous operations that require no outside energy Satisfies strictest air emission compliance (approved by SCAQMD) Complete tar processing and destruction of dioxins/furans Modularity that enables for flexible system capacity using standard modules Easy maintenance with low cost of components and high reliability 3

4 GREEN BOX TECHNOLOGY GBT units can safely process any type of waste, including MSW agricultural waste, and construction waste. Input waste is dried and sterilized in a disintegrator, and then shredded based on desired specifications. System configuration is flexible, allowing for modification of materials in any state or plasticity, as well as different mixtures of materials. Base principle of technology: Disrupt the surface and activate particles to make them more reactive Homogenize waste material that is different in structure (material composition), grain, weight and has different energy absorption during elastic and plastic deformation Dry the waste material Hygienize (pasteurize) biomass and waste 4

5 GREEN BOX TECHNOLOGY Output product: Dry homogenous RDF in form of pellets Odorless Hygienic High calorific value(18-21 MJ/kg) Pellets with bulk density of 500kg/m 3 or more Ideal feedstock for Blue Box Technology, or other technologies 5

6 BLUE BOX TECHNOLOGY BBT units provide thermochemical decomposition of any kind of waste with elevated temperatures without the participation of oxygen. It involves the simultaneous change of chemical composition and physical phase, and is irreversible. TCD differs from other high-temperature processes like combustion and hydrolysis in that it does not involve reactions with oxygen, water, or any other reagents. It is important to note that TCP is not combustion or incineration. Output product is high calorific gas, with wide range of application possibilities 6

7 TECHNOLOGY COMPARISON Traditional gasification with presence of oxygen Gasification with presence of oxygen produces gas with low heating value, which has to be burned together with other gas. Because oxygen is present in the gasification process, many unwanted emissions like acid gases, dioxins, furans, NOx, heavy metals, etc. are created and must be cleaned in a complicated process. Plasma Achieves significant volume reduction of the processed material, however oxygen is again present in the process, and same emissions are produced during the process. In addition, plasma runs in very high temperatures, which requires complicated and expensive gas handling, which increases both investment and operating expenses. Blue Box technology Gasification in an oxygen starved environment prevents production of unwanted emissions, and no emission cleanup system is necessary. Produced gas has high heating value and can be directly burned in a cogeneration engine or gas turbine. It is the most efficient technology out of all available technologies. 7

8 BBT SYSTEM DIAGRAM Simple schematic describing the BBT system which turns waste into process gas using a low emission burner. The gases can then be used to drive steam generators or gas turbines. Additionally, process gas can be reformed and, using the Fischer-Tropsch process, converted into gasoline, jet fuel ordiesel fuel.

9 PROCESS OVERVIEW Waste / Feedstock Thermochemical Conversion Module INNOCUOUS ASH, BIOCHAR, CARBON BLACK Various feedstock preparation and material handling options available (separation, drying, shredding and pressing), depending on local needs Low/medium temperature process (400 o -700 o C) breaks down feedstock into dry, high calorific value fuel gas Power Generation, Liquefaction or Gas Output Modules ELECTRICITY, HEAT LIQUID FUELS Fuel Gas Conditioning Module The fuel gas is cooled, cleaned & used in either a gaseous motor-driven electrical generator, as natural gas for heat, or to create liquid fuels 9

10 KEY ADVANTAGES Complete utilization of power resources in waste with high values of the efficiency of fuel-to-electricity conversion Satisfies the strictest air emission compliance (approved by SCAQMD), with complete tar processing, destruction of dioxins/furans, and no waste combustion process High efficiency; sustainable operations requiring no outside energy Low operating costs, technology does not consume any chemicals, nor water(in fact clean water is produced during the process) Plant modularity enables for scalable, large-capacity with easy maintenance, low cost of components and high reliability 10

11 ABUNDANT RAW MATERIALS Supported raw materials or feedstock include: Municipal Solid Waste Waste Tires Raw Sewage / Sludge Non - Recyclable / Overstock Plastic Medical Waste Hazardous Waste Coal or Coal Dust 11

12 SCOPE RAW MATERIALS 12

13 LANDFILLS: A CRITICAL ISSUE 90% of MSW in World ends up in landfills! This is very dangerous to human health and the environment: Less than 5% of MSW in the World is recycled 13

14 UNIVERSAL DESIGN One universal reactor can be setup for any kind of hydrocarbon feedstock, and produce either pyro oil or pyro gas depending on type of feedstock Typical output products Type of feedstock MSW Wastewater sludge Plastic Rubber Typical output Pyro Gas Carbon char Pyro Gas Carbon char Pyro Oil Pyro Gas Carbon Char Pyro Oil Carbon black Pyro Gas 14

15 PRODUCT APPLICATION Pyro gas clean, methane rich gas, typically used for electricity generation, but it has a number of different application. Can be used as fuel for heating, generation of chilled water for air conditioning and refrigeration, and also for production of different type of fuels through fischer-tropsch reactor. Pyro oil plastics will generate light oil, rubber waste generates heavier oil. This oil is similar to standard oil, and can be processed in refineries, but also used for heating and electricity generation. Carbon char char rich in carbon content. Can be used as fuel(similar to coal), or can be cleaned and activated into valuable active carbon, which has many applications. Glorin Group can supply all of the technologies for utilization of pyrolysis products. We have patented Fischer Tropsch technology as well as patented carbon activation technology. 15
