Coat heated in low oxygen environment to produce synthesis gas, that was burned for heating and lighting in the 1800s, and burned for electricity in the 1900s. • Gasification used for the past 50 years in the production of fuels and chemicals. • Waste Gasification used in treatment of hazardous wastes, and in conversion of MSW to Medium Calorific Value (MCV) fuel. EFTA_R1_01521308 EFTA02444459 Primary Advantages of Gasification • Ability to produce consistent, high-quality Synthesis Gas (Syngas) that can be used for energy production; • Ability to accommodate a wide variety of gaseous, liquid, and solid feedstocks; • Major components of Syngas are C412, and CO2, with low levels of N2 and CH4.

Residue and Ash/Slag Handling Incineration Bottom ash and fly ash collected, treated, and disposed as a hazardous waste. Gasification Slag is non-leachable, non-hazardous and suitable for use in construction materials. Fine particulate matter recycled to gasifier or processed for metals reclamation. Wetherhold, B., On, D., and Maxwell, D., "A Comparison of Gasification and Incineration of Hazardous Wastes", prepared for US Department of Energy by Radian International LLC, 30 Mar. 2000 EFTA_R1_01521313 EFTA02444464 Gasification System Design 1. Gasification System operate by feeding carbon-containing waste materials into a heated chamber, with a limited and controlled amount of oxygen. This creates reducing conditions in the Gasification Reactor. 2. At high operating temperatures in the Gasification Reactor, chemical bonds are broken by oxidation and steam reforming at temperatures sufficiently high to promote rapid reactions. Gasification Reactor temperatures in range of 1,550 to 3,500 °F. Primary components of Syngas created in Gasification Reactor are CO and H2, with lesser amounts of H2O, CO2, N2, C114, H2S, and HCl. Waste materials are converted from solids to gases, they are not burned. Therefore, Flue Gas is much cleaner for Gasification Process. Slag has the consistency of glass, and Sulfur may be recovered in elemental form, which may be sold. EFTA_R1_01521314 EFTA02444465 Key Elements to a Successful Gasification Facility • Sorting Line required to remove high ash content materials such as metals, glass, concrete, brick, rock, and soil; • C&D materials should be diverted. Plastics and wood can be separated from CEtD and transported to Gasifier; • Shredder and pelletizer required to produce good quality, more uniform pellets, and to reduce moisture content of waste to about 20%; • Two stage Gasification required, (1) Conventional Gasification to convert solids to syngas; and (2) Ash slagging unit required to convert carbon in ash to syngas, increase BTUs of syngas, and convert ash to slag; • Cyclone required after Gasifier to remove particulate matter from syngas prior to combustion in Boiler; • Boiler with Steam Turbine more efficient than Gas Turbine; and • Air Quality Treatment system typically consists of Acid Gas Removal Unit, Electrostatic Precipitator, Bag House with Carbon Injection, and Stack.
