International Silica Technologies has developed

breakthrough technology to produce high-purity

amorphous silica from low-value rice hulls and straw,

using a process that also generates a net surplus of

renewable or “green” energy as a co-product.

ExtExtraction of this silica as a high purity product has

been the goal of significant R&D over the years, but

without commercial success. International Silica

Technologies co-founder Larry Shipley has developed

and patented novel technology which transforms the

current rice hull (and rice straw) disposal problem into

a highly pa highly profitable commercial opportunity with a global

reach, by efficiently extracting high-purity amorphous

silica while recovering the valuable “renewable”

thermal energy inherent in these biogenic (bio-based)

agricultural residue feed stocks.

SILICA MATERIALS ARE

IMPORTANT COMPONENTS

IN A WIDE VARIETY OF

PRODUCTS OF DAILY LIFE

Though not widely recognized, silica materials are important components in a wide variety of products

of daily life, ranging from tires to toothpaste, where they impart desirable properties such as abrasion or

abrasion resistance, adsorption, insulation, and viscosity control. These silicates and silicas are produced in

a a variety of forms, are non-hazardous materials, and do not present any significant environmental concerns.

Most importantly, the widely-used amorphous (non-crystalline) silica products do not exhibit health hazards

associated with crystalline silicas. Amorphous silica is non-toxic and occurs naturally in well water and most

foods. As a result, amorphous silicas enjoy an image as safe, noncontroversial and inert ingredients.

Silica Industry

The process to convert the crystalline form of silica to amorphous silica is expensive, fossil fuel energy

dependent, and contributes additional carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. As the cost of fossil fuel continues

to rise, the cost to convert crystalline silica to amorphous silica will continue to increase.

Direct combustion produces a residual waste

stream which in some cases may be classified

as hazardous waste, making disposal difficult.

International Silica technologies patented

process produces pure amorphous silica and

no potentially hazardous waste.

The two patents protect the commercial

opportunity opportunity to supply high value-added, specialty

silica products from “green” feedstocks, with a low

carbon footprint resulting from the production of

net excess renewable energy. International patents

Competitive Advantages

Management realized that co-siting the Company’s initial

production facility in proximity to an available rice hull

supply and a customer for the co-product thermal energy

would represent a highly advantaged strategy. The Company

initiated discussions with senior management at several

major rice companies and cooperatives in the prime

Mississippi Delta U.S. rice processing region to explore

ririce hull supply and co-siting opportunities. In mid

2009, such a synergistic opportunity was identified

with Producers Rice Mill, a 2500 member cooperative

with milling operations in Stuttgart, Arkansas and

Greenville, Mississippi. The Greenville site was

ideally suited for a co-sited International Silica

Technologies facility, with a secure annual supply

of up of up to 88,000 tpy of rice hulls.

StratoSil® is an inherently “green” product with

a negative carbon footprint, being derived from

bio-based raw materials and generating net excess

renewable thermal energy in the combustion step.

In In contrast, production of synthetic industrial silicas

is very energy intensive and can also release substantial

CO2 during the process of converting sodium

ccarbonate and sand into silica. Over time, the net

positive energy balance for the StratoSil® process will

result in increasingly advantaged operating cost

compared to synthetic silicas, assuming steadily

escalating fossil energy costs.
