THERMOSELECT TECHNOLOGYTHERMOSELECT TECHNOLOGY

• 43 patented processes - over 300 patent awards worldwideworldwide

• Produces energy rich synthesis gas used to– Generate electricity– Manufacture alternative fuel

• Recycles waste 100% into commercially useful productsNo ash is produced; no landfill is required– 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

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 experienceBased 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– 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.
