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.

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