1 AN OVERVIEW OF THE THERMOSELECT TECHNOLOGY October 2009

2 IWT BUSINESS MODEL Licenses technology from Thermoselect SA (Swiss corporation) )for US, Mexico and the Caribbean Develop facilities incorporating the technology Use experienced partners to provide BOP design EPC Services Operation and Maintenance Services 1

3 THERMOSELECT TECHNOLOGY A non-incineration industrial chemical process using high htemperature t gasification Combines five proven technologies Waste compaction Pyrolysis Gasification Syngas cleaning Process water cleaning 2

4 THERMOSELECT TECHNOLOGY 43 patented processes - over 300 patent awards worldwide Produces energy rich synthesis gas used to Generate electricity Manufacture alternative fuel Recycles waste 100% into commercially useful products No ash is produced; no landfill is required Comprehensive solution - processes all forms of waste Can process waste between 3,500 to 10,000 Btu/lb (HHV) Solids, sludges, liquids 3

5 THERMOSELECT TECHNOLOGY TESTED AND PROVEN Has operated successfully in nine facilities, the first beginning in 1992 as a Demonstration Facility in Fondotoce, Italy Tested by major independent European testing laboratories for more than13 years Licensed by JFE, a major industrial company, for Japan 7 plants operating in Japan Plants under development in US, Puerto Rico and Europe 4

10 INDEPENDENT THIRD PARTY EVALUATION OF IWT & TECHNOLOGY The County of Los Angeles commissioned an independently prepared comprehensive report to evaluate commercially available non-incineration waste processing technologies beginning in 2004 URS, one of our nation s largest engineering firms, prepared the report and concluded the following: Based on supplier credibility, existing operational experience, completeness of engineering, landfill diversion, permitability and economics, IWT and the Thermoselect technology were ranked #1 The entire evaluation can be found at IWT s website: iwtonline.com. Go the to About Us page, click on the Independent Third Party Evaluations link. A link to the County Report is displayed. 9

11 INDEPENDENT THIRD PARTY EVALUATION OF IWT & TECHNOLOGY The New York City Economic Development Corporation and the Department of Sanitation evaluated solid waste management technologies beginning gin 2003 The City s consultant, ARI, concluded the following: Based on technology readiness, reliability, facility design, environmental performance, beneficial use of waste, marketability of recycled products and experience and resources of the project sponsor, IWT and the Thermoselect technology were judged superior The entire evaluation can be found at IWT s website: iwtonline.com.
