INSTALLATION AND OPERATION OFTREATMENT PLANT CONVERTING WASTE TO

DIESEL USING CLPD TECHNOLOGY

1. INTRODUCTION

The project involves the treatment of solid organic and inorganic waste into DIESEL.The process is known as Catalytic Pressure-less Depolymerization (CLPD) andhenceforth will be referred to as CLPD Technology. Since its first inception inGermany, more of this CLPD plants are already in operation in Germany, Italy, USA,Bulgaria, Canada, Spain and Mexico. These plants practically run by itself, as thediesel produced is use as fuel for the plants.

International Consulting Service (ICS), Abu Dhabi, who holds the marketing rightfor the technology, provides the opportunity to Treasure Legacy Sdn. Bhd. (TL) tolead the development of CLPD plant. Initially the focus will be in South East Asia,starting with Malaysia. Now we are studying the possibility of introducing thistechnology to other parts of Asia.

The estimate cost to build and install one plant in operation is RM132 Millions. Thefirst of this plant will be built in Tepoh, Terengganu as the State Government ofTerengganu had given a firm support for this project to be done in the state. The statelandfill is located is located in Tepoh.



2. PROJECT BRIEF

The objective of this proposal is to provide a brief and general outline for theimplementation of a CLPD Plant, besides giving an in depth understanding of theprocesses and how the plant works.

The salient points are as follows:

2.1 The CLPD Technology can virtually convert both organic and inorganic wasteto diesel.

2.2. The size of the plant varies according to volume of OUTPUTS ranging from500 liter per hour to 10,000 liter per hour. The size and the number of theplants to be built depend on the volume of waste available to process daily. Inthe beginning CLPD5000 will be installed. This can be upgraded later shouldthe volume of waste inputs increases.

2.3 TL as the technology holder, will implement, manage and monitor all thedevelopment and day-to-day operation of the plants. TL will be responsible toprovide the Diesel technology, operating and maintaining the Plants, as wellas responsible for the financing exercise. TL as the main partner will beresponsible to raise the funds and supervise the financial and accountingaspect of the business.



3. THE EXISTING WASTE TREATMENT TECHNOLOGIES

Before we go into the CLPD Technology proper, let us examine thevarious forms of waste treatment technology presently available in the market,namely:

3.1 Landfill- Very common method of disposing of waste

3.2 Incineration Waste to Energy, Energy to Waste Converts waste into heat, gas steam and ash

3.3 Recycling Methods- Items are usually composed of a single type of material making it

easy to recycle into new products e.g. plastic, used tire, paper, etc

3.4 Biological Reprocessing- Composting process- Biological composting and digesting processes to decompose

the organic matter, resulting organic material is then recycle ascompost and the gas emission is collected and used forgenerating energy

3.5 Bio-chemical processing- After biological fermentation, part of the biomasses are diverted

by various chemical methods in Bio-Ethonal process and Bio-Diesel process

3.6 Energy Recovery- Chemical methods using Pyrolysis, Gasification and Advanced

Plasma Treatment methods

3.7 Avoidance and Reduction Methods- 3R-Solution by Reduce, Reuse and Recycle



4. WHAT IS CLPD?

IT MEANS CATALYTIC PRESSURE-LESS DEPOLYMERIZATION (OILING)

New crystalline catalysts combined with a highly innovative process technology nowallow the competitive production of biologically regenerating raw materials!

The future way of economic all production of high quality synthetic Diesel fuel:

After years of intensive catalyst and process research the breakthrough ofreproducing the natural way of fossil oil production within a process durationturned down from hundreds of millions of years to now only 3 (three) minuteshas finally becomes a reality.

This causes the synthetic Diesel fuel produced by this method to be fullycompetitive.

With most of the input materials the quality of the synthetic fuel produced bythis new ground breaking method is even higher than that of regular Diesel fuelavailable at gas stations.

Cost per litre of Diesel produced between USD 0.125 0.1375 withoutGovernment subsidies.

Elimination of almost all environmental pollution through inorganictransformation of harmful substances into salts and crystals, based on the ionchanging characteristics of our proprietary catalyst.

For the first time this method now allows active environmental protection aswell as optimized energy production from industrial residuals, waste andbiologically regenerating raw materials in perfect combination and free of anyconflicts.



5. CLPD TECHNOLOGY IS A TRULY GREEN TECHNOLOGY

Our proposed waste treatment technology is using worldwide patented of de-polymerization process that runs in relatively low temperature range up to 3500 C andoperates with the inside system pressure in less than 1 atm.

5.1 The main function of CLPD waste treatment plant is to process any type oforganic waste and capable to reduce the size of the waste up to 97% fromthe original based volume.

5.2 The side effect from the process is producing high quality renewablesynthetic diesel (not bio-diesel) with CETANE value of 60 as compared topetroleum diesel with CETANE value of 52, (Super Diesel has CETANEvalue of 56.

5.3 The synthetic diesel produced from the CLPD plant is different to theBio-fuel and B5 diesel. The Bio-fuel is produce from the Crude Palm Oil(CPO) as input based material whereas B5 diesel is the blend of 95% ofpetroleum diesel and 5% of CPO. On the other hand, our syntheticdiesel is produced from the plantation waste such as waste from the palmtree, empty fruit bunches, palm kernel pressed cake and kernel endocarpas input material.

5.4 A CLPD plant with a capacity of producing diesel in the rate of 5000 liter perhour requires three hundred and ten (310) tons of organic waste per day intwenty-two (22) hours of continuous operation. From the waste input, CLPDplant can produces 110,000-liter diesel per day and 3,300,000-liter diesel permonth.

6. TYPES OF WASTE

Domestic and municipal waste landfills can receive only certain types of waste, andcannot receive others, due to their potentially harmful effects on the environment andnegative impacts on the landfill itself.



4.1 Types of waste that can be disposed of in these landfills include:

Domestic waste

Commercial waste

Non-scheduled solid industrial waste

Construction waste

Waste from drain and river cleansing

Waste from road cleansing

Garden and yard waste

Animal carcasses

Waste from sludge treatment plants

Any waste approved by the Department of Environment (DOE)

4.2 Waste types that cannot be disposed of at domestic waste landfills include:

Biomedical waste

Radioactive waste

Asbestos

Lead acid and other batteries

Used vehicle oil

Toxic / scheduled waste

4.3 Waste that can be processed by CLPD Plant by preference:

100% domestic waste in Asia47% organic

15% paper

14% plastic

4% metal

4% wood

3% textiles

3% glas

1% rubber/leather

9% others (e-waste a.o.)



7. HOW A CLPD PLANT OPERATES

Basically each CLPD Plant has two main and distinct operations i.e. Preparation ofWaste Inputs and the Processing of Waste using the CLPD Technology. Eachoperation has different works involved depending on the type of waste used as inputs,as follows:

The CLPD Plant is designed as a highly efficient and closely controlled unit able toprovide all neccessary supplies to operate the CLPD facillity and consists of:

Main input bunkers of unsorted waste material Waste sorting, separation and shredder system Main fraction storages Storages of catalysts and neutraliser CLPD-Unit Tanks for diesel and for water Water treatment system for the bunker drainage water C3i, administration and service &maintenace facillities Infrastructure















7.1 PREPARATION OF WASTE INPUTS

i. Household or Domestic Waste

Household or Domestic Waste (sometimes called Municipal Waste) normallyare brought by lorries to the plant site. The waste may come in variouscomponents, sizes and quantity. As these waste are brought daily, a suitably largearea must be allotted from the very beginning to store these unsorted waste.

These waste are then carried by forklifts and deposited on a sorting platform,where workers will sort out the waste according to type e.g. paper, plastics,wood, stones, glass etc.

Sorting Platforms







Sorting Platforms







Sorting Platforms



Using the sorting platforms, workers will sort the waste manually. They maywork in three daily shifts. The number of platforms to be build is based on thevolume of waste supplied daily and the consumption per day of the CLPD unit.More or larger CLPD units may have to be installed if the volume of waste to beprocessed is huge.

Paper waste can be pressed and formed into bales to reduce the water contentand for easier storage.

ii. Plants branches, wood etcWood and plant materials have to go into a shredding machine before they arebundled and stored.

iii. Used TyresUsed tyres are also shredded before they can be treated in the CLPD unit.

iv. Oil Sludge, Used Motor and Machine OilSludge and used oils which are kept in tanks can be sent straight into theCLPD unit for processing.

7.2 THE CLPD PROCESS AND STORAGE

The CLPD Plant is a self-sustaining energy production platform. It only uses up to 10%of its own energy production to run the plant through a 230kw block-type total energyplant (BHKW).

In the plants closed-process cycle, the input waste materials are mixed with the catalyst,which initiates a catalytic reaction characterized by the following results:

Molecular de-polymerization at low temperatures (290 350o C) and virtuallypressure-free (about 0.1 bar below ambient pressure).

Hydrocarbon conversion rates not previously achievable of more than 80%without the same magnitude of dangerous residual by-products.

Decontamination of dangerous residual by-products (halogens, etc) in a liquefiedprocess that yields salt.

High-quality Diesel Fuel or Jet-Fuel suitable for use in todays engines, and soonalso Gasoline for todays and tomorrows fleet of cars on the road.



The catalytic process produces certain catalyst crystals (processed metal impurities thatoriginally appear in the input waste materials) that must be removed once the high-quality Diesel fuel has been delivered to the production storage vessel. The technology ofthe plant guarantees that the metals and metal connections in the residue of the catalyticprocess (used up catalyst) are merged together and delivered to the plants exit wastevessel. The final product Diesel fuel (which develops exclusively over the vapor phase),is absolutely free from these materials.

Since the approved input waste materials are mixed completely into the reaction oil at atemperature of over 300o C and no further separation possibility exists once in theprocess, no protein molecules (thus no Prions) are present without exiting and reductionto decomposition or into the product, in this case Diesel fuel.

ADVANTAGES

Quality of Product This plants final product is a high quality motor vehicle fuel(Cetane > 56) or fuel oil to be used in less critical uses, and thus has excellent resalevalue.

Efficiency The plants high efficiency (~80%) gives the entire catalytic process apositive energy balance that is to a large extent emission-free and self-supporting from anenergy standpoint.

ADVANTAGES AND BENEFITS OF THE CLPD PLANT

It uses raw materials that have no cost waste and thrash
