1 Biosolids Low Temperature Pyrolysis Maximizing Resource Recovery from Sludge May 12/13, 2015 CASA- CWEA Biosolids Workshop Contra Costa/Hyperion Juan Josse, Yaniv Scherson; Anaergia Inc.

2 Anaergia Overview Global technology leader in the recovery of resources from organic waste streams Complete soluoons for resource recovery, specially organics to energy through anaerobic digesoon and nutrient recovery Proven porqolio of proprietary technological soluoons around anaerobic digesoon core Flexible project delivery opoons, including DB, BOO, DBO Over 20 years of design and operaong experience Core technologies used in over 1,600 digester plants with over 360 MW of capacity from biogas 2

3 Anaergia Global Footprint 1,600 Projects, 380 MW, 12 FaciliHes, 29 Patents, 20 Years

4 Anaergia Vision Zero Organic Waste Future Wastewater Biosolids Renewable Power Source Separated Organics Renewable Gas Municipal Solid Waste Food Processing Waste Agricultural Waste Integrated SoluHons Organic FerOlizer Clean Water

5 Biosolids Land Application & Landfilling is Increasingly Difficult 797,000 dry tons of Biosolids in /3 rds land applied, 1/3 rd landfilled Increasing bans and regulaoons on land applicaoon

6 What is Pyrolysis? Dry Biosolids H E A T Biochar DecomposiHon of organics using heat Heat feedstock indirectly Maintain heated over prescribed Ome period Heat applied in absence of O 2 All by- products are usable Used for centuries to make charcoal By- Products Biochar Pyro- Oil Pyro Gas

7 Low Temperature Pyrolysis Increases Resource Recovery BioChar 55% of the mass a`er pyrolysis >40% Carbon, 7% N, 8% P Marketable as a ferolizer Pyro- Oil 30% of the mass a`er pyrolysis High volaole solids 55%, easily digesoble, high biogas yield Pyro- Gas 15% of the mass a`er pyrolysis Contains H2, CO, CH4 and CO2 H2 and CO convert to methane in anaerobic digester Oil and gas digesoon increase biogas producoon

12 Encina Demonstration Project First of its Kind Demonstration Facility Partnership between Encina Wastewater Authority (EWA) and Anaergia Containerized pyrolyzer utilizing electric screw technology installed and in operation Processes 1,000 lb/hr of dried biosolids pellets (50% of plant production) Produce biochar to commercialize recognizing higher value as a fertilizer / soil amendment Pyro oil and gas directed to Digester #5 for co-digestion with plant sludge. Give sludge a second chance!

15 Pilot co-digestion Sludge and Pyrolysis Oil 15

16 Pyrolysis Improves Biosolids Quality Concentrates nutrients into biochar Increases biogas producoon by >22% Reduces biosolids export by >45% Improves properoes: stability, low dust, low odor Sequesters carbon, reducing GHG emissions Slow nutrient release, reduced water use as soil amendment Dried Biosolids Biochar

17 Pyrolysis Oil Generates More Biogas than Sludge Net methane produchon (ml CH 4 /gvs- fed) Sew. Sludge Time (d) Biosolids Oil Higher methane generaoon from Pyrolysis Oil than from Sewage Sludge per gram VS fed to the digester 17

18 Co-digestion of Sludge and Pyrolysis Oil Increases Biogas Production

19 Biochar Concentrates Nutrients Dry Biosolids Biochar N P K

20 Anaergia Expertise Through Technology Development Anaergia s investment in pyrolysis R&D has resulted in know how, experose, and broad body of knowledge and IP : Various feedstocks Range of operaoonal condioons Product characterizaoon Use of pyrolysis products for increasing biogas generaoon

21 Sludge Pyrolysis Improves Resource Recovery: More Energy, Less Solids, Higher Value MORE ENERGY Increases biogas production by ~25 to 30% through co-digestion of oil & gas LESS SOLIDS TO HANDLE Reduces mass of dewatered sludge by ~8X though drying and pyrolysis HIGHER VALUE Solid char has higher fertilizer value, better surface properties, and is easier to store and handle
