CONVERTING BIOMASS AND OTHER

WASTE MATERIALS INTO CLEAN AND

AFFORDABLE HEAT ENERGY AND

FMA ENERGY, ENVIRONMENT &
SUSTAINABILITY SUMMIT 17 PRESENTATION
SEPTEMBER 15 - 17, 2013
2013. AGRIPOWER, INC. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
Many thousands of enterprises pay to dispose of
Biomass and other waste materials generated by
their own operations.
They also pay for electricity and natural or propane
gas or diesel fuel oil to produce heat and hot water
and to power and heat (or cool) their businesses.
Many are looking for an affordable way to comply
with environmental laws that regulate the disposal of
their waste materials.
Many want on-site Energy Security, Reliability
Resilience and Self-Controlled Operation.
The Problems

AgriPowers Product Line
Our product line consists of:
Waste to Heat Only (HO) Systems.
Waste to Combined Heat and Power (CHP)
Systems.
Customer Generated Waste Heat to Power
Only (PO) Systems.
AgriPowers unique and proprietary Waste-to-Energy (WTE)
HO and CHP Systems use Biomass and many other types of
waste materials as fuel.
They provide secure, on-site, reliable, base load Heat Energy
and electricity.
The Heat Energy is suitable for heating, hot water, steam and
numerous Co-Generation applications.
The CHP Systems also generate from 125 kW to 3,000 kW
(3 MW) of electricity.
The PO Systems generate from 125 kW to 10,000 kW
(10 MW) of emissions free electricity.
Our core technologies are well established and provide
significant operational and economic benefits.
Our Systems are non-condensing and do not require water, steam
or high air pressure (or technical or safety personnel) to operate.
AgriPowers Solution

Acceptable Fuels
The Systems can utilize a wide variety of waste
materials as fuel including:
Wood pallets and crates
All types of untreated wood waste (pallets, utility and
road clearing trimmings, sawdust, sanding dust,
forest residuals (slash), etc.)
Cardboard and paper
Construction and demolition debris (plywood, painted
wood, etc.)
Discarded fruits and vegetables
Agricultural by-products
Poultry and other manure
5
We use unique, proprietary, superior and proven
extended, dual-zone, variable temperature
combustion technology.
We use unique, proprietary, superior and proven high
temperature technology from Waste Heat Generator
( WHG ) manufacturers such as Pratt & Whitney, GE
and other specialty manufacturers.
We utilize a proprietary, superior, proven software
operating system and know-how.
Our Systems are non-condensing and do not require
water, steam or high air pressure (or technical or safety
personnel) to operate.
Our Technical Advantages
6
7
Their primary (lower) extended combustion chamber provides
longer dwell time to completely and cleanly combust the fuel and
enable compliance with EU requirements.
Their high temperature extended (upper) combustion chamber
cleanly and efficiently combusts volatile chemicals. Reduces
pollution and enables plywood (glue) and painted and creosote
treated wood to be used as fuel.
They can operate from 2,200F down to 1,000F which is below the
chemical reaction point of many troublesome emission materials.
They use a unique over-, under- and mid-fire air design that
provides greater flexibility to cleanly combust a wide variety of wet,
dry and mixed fuels.
Minimal residual ash (1 - 3%); automated stoking and ash removal.
Their proven software enables maximum operating flexibility,
continuous System optimization and constant emissions
compliance.

Combustor Features
We use several Waste Heat Generators (WHGs) obtained from
Best of Breed suppliers (P&W, GE) and contract manufacturers
that are selected for our customers specific requirements.
Some high temperature WHGs operate at 600F instead of at 200F
for greater heat, hot water and steam outputs.
Some of our WHGs use a high efficiency hot oil system instead of
a low efficiency hot air system.
These WHGs will produce considerably more net electrical output
and greater customer value in high temperature, high humidity
locations which is where most Biomass is produced (e.g., output of
about 120 kW vs. about 70 kW).
The WHGs flexible design enables them to be operated in parallel
so we can offer our customers customized Systems with from one
up to six WHGs.

T3 Module and Waste Heat Generator
12
This graphic shows one of AgriPowers CHP Systems (the AG-375), mounted on two tractor trailer chassis
(that are not included). Depending on its size and configuration, the typical mid-size AgriPower System will
usually be transported on three trailers. The first trailer will usually contain: (1) the Fuel Feed Hopper; (2) the
Combustion Chamber; (3) the Fans and Filters Module; and (4) the Automated Control Module. A second
trailer will usually contain: (5) AgriPowers proprietary T3 Technology Module (it stands for Thermal Treatment
and Transfer) and the Auxiliary Equipment Module; (6) Waste Heat Generator #1; (7) Waste Heat Generator
#2; (8) Waste Heat Generator #3; and (9) the Utility Interconnection Module. The third trailer will typically
contain site specific Balance of Plant and related equipment.
Ease of Transport; Rapid Installation
13
They are prefabricated, modular and transportable; the skid
mounted components can be placed on the chassis of tractor-
trailers, enabling them to be easily and inexpensively brought to the
customers sites and remote, off-grid locations (and disaster sites)
where the fuel is located.
They can be easily and quickly installed and fully operational (or
dismantled) at the customers site and are controlled by the
customer.
They are exempt from or in compliance with applicable national and
local permitting regulations.
They are scalable and can provide additional low-cost electricity,
heat, hot water and/or steam (or air conditioning or refrigeration) to
satisfy our customers various requirements (i.e., customized
solutions).
Our Systems - 1
14
They can combust most types of Biomass and many other types of
waste in an environmentally friendly and carbon neutral manner.
Their proven technology reduces maintenance, operating costs and
downtime.
They are reliable and have an uptime rate of >95%.
They are fully-automated and their operation does not require
expensive, on-site engineers or technicians.
They substantially reduce the cost and market risk of obtaining
diesel fuel oil and natural and propane gas.
We provide our customers access to worldwide installation and
service networks capable of monitoring and maintaining their
Systems on a 24/7 basis.

Emission Control Flexibility
The basic combustion chamber comes with a multi-clone
air filter that catches most fly ash.
A baghouse filter can be added to catch very small fly
ash particles and will satisfy virtually all federal and local
permitting requirements (PM2.5).
FOR HIGH VALUE OPPORTUNITY FUELS (GLUE, PAINT,
CREOSOTE, ETC.):
A urea or lime spray system can be added to neutralize
problem emission materials.
A catalytic converter can be added to neutralize very
difficult emission materials.

Using Biomass as a fuel helps to combat climate change. Thats because
Biomass is often considered carbon neutral because the carbon dioxide
released when it is combusted is eventually absorbed by other Biomass as it
grows. So, unlike natural gas or fuel oil, Biomass releases no net carbon dioxide
into the atmosphere. It is a closed-loop energy source, simply re-circulating the
carbon dioxide already within the Earths carbon cycle. And its a perpetual,
renewable fuel source.
Combusting Biomass Is Carbon Neutral
23
Our Systems Can Use A Wide Variety Of Commercial Waste As Fuel

Heat Energy and Co-Generation have many valuable
uses:
Heating (buildings, greenhouses)
Hot Water (hospital, college and hotel kitchens,
showers, laundries, swimming pools, food processing)
Steam (buildings, breweries)
Air conditioning (commercial buildings)
Refrigeration (supermarkets, food and flower storage
sites)
Water purification and desalination (disaster and
military sites)
Making ice (disaster and military sites)
Drying and bonding (kilns, lumber mills)
Pre-drying excessively wet fuels (paper and pulp
sludge, municipal sludge, spent grains)
Co-Generation Applications
27
AgriPowers technology produces significant cost-savings for its
customers by:
1) Reducing waste disposal expenses;
2) Producing low-cost electricity and Heat Energy suitable for many
Co-Generation applications;
3) Reducing diesel fuel oil and natural and propane gas costs; and
4) Generating tax benefits, carbon credits, grants and subsidies.
THE RESULTING CUSTOMER SAVINGS ARE EXPECTED TO PROVIDE A
COMPLETE RETURN ON INVESTMENT (100% PAYBACK) IN ABOUT 3 TO
4 YEARS (BEFORE TAX BENEFITS, CARBON CREDITS OR SUBSIDIES).
Additional Benefits:
We do NOT use food crops or animal feed for fuel.
Reduced commodity risk; to the extent that our customers generate
their own waste as a reliable fuel source, they eliminate the market risk of
obtaining diesel fuel oil at an uncertain price.
