9 Defense & Energy Systems LLC Linking Requirements, Partners & Solutions

10 Historical Land Fill Site YSU is a strong applied research university partner Multiple Industry Strengths Logistics in Place Political Support at the State and National Levels

11 Ohio s first and only STEM College Designated by Ohio Chancellor as an Emerging Urban Research University Interdisciplinary research is fostered and encouraged Applied Science and Engineering focus Modern laboratories with high-end instrumentation Strong Congressional support

12 The base technology is Pyrolysis Polyflow has developed a unique range of dependent process factors in a production environment including: A controlled oxygen level Vertical and longitudinal thermal profile Volumetric heat input Specific reaction space requirements Surface chemistry conditions Critical moving bed conditions The tolerance for a mixed dirty polymer waste stream 12

13 Utilize all forms of mixed dirty polymer waste as a replacement for crude oil. Converts the waste into valuable fuels and petrochemicals. The unique difference is the ability to convert a low cost raw material into a high value end product without significant sorting or cleaning costs. 13

14 The Polyflow technology operates with : No catalysts Low temperature and low pressure A high conversion rate for dirty polymer input (69% to 83% conversion depending upon inert content) An ability to produce valuable aromatics and other petrochemicals (Styrene, Ethyl benzene, Toluene and potentially military fuels) 14

15 PyGas Char Off Gas 15

16 Mixed Polymer Waste Stream 69% PyGas 13% Char 18% Off Gas 35% Valuable Aromatics 65% Gas & Diesel These are burned to continue fueling the process 16

17 Fundamental Science Leading Industry Scientists Formulated the process based on output desired Initial work completed, Patent awarded Pilot Scale Proof of Principal Trailer Mounted Demonstration Reactor Demonstrated in 2010 Commercial Facility Demonstrator in Ohio Ohio Third Frontier Award $1.6M Additional Leveraged Investments: $8.4M Net Result: Single Processor Facility (2.5 Ton/Hour)

18 Youngstown State University: Assembling world class WTE Fuels Research Laboratory with $600K earmarked for lab equipment Polyflow LLC: Plant set up and management Youngstown Business Incubator: Entrepreneurial support and supplier development Defense & Energy: Marketing and program management for federal partners 18

19 8 Polyflow processors running in parallel provide redundancy. Energy efficient High conversion rate Very high profitability Reduces dependency on outside refining. Polymer Receiving and Processing Scalable: 16,000 to 150,000 tons/yr feed 11,000 to 102,000 tons/yr product 1/3 of product is chemical feedstock. 2/3 gasoline and diesel fuel Large Plant Only Polyflow Black-Box Liquids Technology S O L I D S Char/Coke/Metals 19 R E F I N E R Y Chemical Feedstock High Octane Gasoline Blendstock Diesel Fuel

20 Government Partners: Leverage this investment for your WTE goals Direct transfer for Installation & Management R&D partnering for Operational Use Industry Partners: Additional investment or leveraging of Youngstown State Capabilities Non Profits/Others: Participate in cluster objectives and solutions

21 Bottom Line: A lean business case for energy security & environmental stewardship based on good science Research & Development for Municipal Pilot Scale Plant (funded) Operational Use (unfunded) Provide Solutions to DOD
