• Glorin

Group (“Glorin”) is a fast growing international company that develops and builds sustainable and cost effective solutions for waste utilization and renewable energy production

• Our innovative waste-to-energy plants generate

electricity, heat and/or liquid fuels from waste with minimal impact to the environment

• Our mission is to transform the poisonous

waste into clean energy, recovered resources and revenue

• Glorin has an assembly facility in Slovakia and

development teams in United Kingdom, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Romania and Poland

GLORIN GROUP TECHNOLOGY

Our comprehensive waste-to-energy solution consist of two key components:

• Green Box Technology (“GBT”) mobile waste processing units that dry,

sterilize, and shred MSW and any other type of waste that can be biologically decomposed; units are installed in local towns and/or landfills to produce safe,

• dorless pellets (RDF).
• Blue Box Technology (“BBT”) thermochemical conversion unit that

transforms pellets produced by the GBT units into high calorific value fuel gas without the participation of oxygen; unit capacity can be adjusted based on local needs.

Key advantages of our and proven and tested technology include:

• High efficiency, with complete utilization of material and power resources
• Sustainable, continuous operations that require no outside energy
• Satisfies strictest air emission compliance (approved by SCAQMD)
• Complete tar processing and destruction of dioxins/furans
• Modularity that enables for flexible system capacity using standard modules
• Easy maintenance with low cost of components and high reliability

• GBT units can safely process any type of waste, including MSW

agricultural waste, and construction waste.

• Input waste is dried and sterilized in a disintegrator, and then

shredded based on desired specifications.

• System configuration is flexible, allowing for modification of materials

in any state or plasticity, as well as different mixtures of materials. Base principle of technology:

• Disrupt the surface and activate particles to make them more reactive
• Homogenize waste material that is different in structure (material

composition), grain, weight and has different energy absorption during elastic and plastic deformation

• Dry the waste material
• Hygienize (pasteurize) biomass and waste

Output product:

• Dry

homogenous RDF in form of pellets

• Odorless
• Hygienic
• High

calorific value(18-21 MJ/kg)

• Pellets with bulk density of

500kg/m3 or more

• BBT units provide thermochemical decomposition of any kind of waste

with elevated temperatures without the participation of oxygen. It involves the simultaneous change of chemical composition and physical phase, and is irreversible.

• TCD differs from other high-temperature processes like combustion and

hydrolysis in that it does not involve reactions with oxygen, water, or any

• ther reagents. It is important to note that TCP is not combustion or

incineration.

• Output product is high calorific gas, with wide range of application

possibilities

• Traditional gasification with presence of oxygen

Gasification with presence of oxygen produces gas with low heating value, which has to be burned together with other gas. Because oxygen is present in the gasification process, many unwanted emissions like acid gases, dioxins, furans, NOx, heavy metals, etc. are created and must be cleaned in a complicated process.

• Plasma

Achieves significant volume reduction of the processed material, however

• xygen is again present in the process, and same emissions are produced

during the process. In addition, plasma runs in very high temperatures, which requires complicated and expensive gas handling, which increases both investment and operating expenses.

• Blue Box technology

Gasification in an oxygen starved environment prevents production of unwanted emissions, and no emission cleanup system is necessary. Produced gas has high heating value and can be directly burned in a cogeneration engine or gas turbine. It is the most efficient technology out

• f all available technologies.

Simple schematic describing the BBT system which turns waste into “process gas” using a low emission burner. The gases can then be used to drive steam generators or gas turbines. Additionally, process gas can be reformed and, using the Fischer-Tropsch process, converted into gasoline, jet fuel or diesel fuel. Feed Stock Bin Super-low NOx burner Flue Stack

PROCESS OVERVIEW ELECTRICITY, HEAT LIQUID FUELS

Low/medium temperature process (400o-700o C) breaks down feedstock into dry, high calorific value fuel gas The fuel gas is cooled, cleaned & used in either a gaseous motor-driven electrical generator, as natural gas for heat, or to create liquid fuels Various feedstock preparation and material handling

• High efficiency; sustainable operations requiring no outside

energy

• Low operating costs, technology does not consume any

chemicals, nor water(in fact clean water is produced during the process)

• Plant modularity enables for scalable, large-capacity with

easy maintenance, low cost of components and high reliability

ABUNDANT RAW MATERIALS

Supported raw materials or feedstock include:

• Municipal Solid Waste
• Waste Tires
• Raw Sewage / Sludge
• Non - Recyclable / Overstock Plastic
• Medical Waste
• Hazardous Waste
• Coal or Coal Dust

SCOPE RAW MATERIALS

90% of MSW in World ends up in landfills! This is very dangerous to human health and the environment:

LANDFILLS: A CRITICAL ISSUE

13

Less than 5% of MSW in the World is recycled

UNIVERSAL DESIGN

One universal reactor can be setup for any kind of hydrocarbon feedstock, and produce either pyro oil or pyro gas depending on type of feedstock Typical output products

Pyro Gas Carbon char Pyro Gas Carbon char Pyro Oil Pyro Gas Carbon Char Pyro Oil Carbon black Pyro Gas

PRODUCT APPLICATION

• Pyro gas – clean, methane rich gas, typically used for electricity

generation, but it has a number of different application. Can be used as fuel for heating, generation of chilled water for air conditioning and refrigeration, and also for production of different type of fuels through fischer-tropsch reactor.

• Pyro oil – plastics will generate light oil, rubber waste generates heavier oil.

This oil is similar to standard oil, and can be processed in refineries, but also used for heating and electricity generation.

• Carbon char – char rich in carbon content. Can be used as fuel(similar to

coal), or can be cleaned and activated into valuable active carbon, which has many applications.

• Glorin Group can supply all of the technologies for utilization of

pyrolysis products.

• We have patented Fischer Tropsch technology as well as patented carbon

activation technology.
