Carbotech PSA system Page | 6 BIOFermTM Energy Systems A Viessmann Group Company www.BIOFermEnergy.com info@BIOFermEnergy.com TECHNOLOGY DESCRIPTIONS BIOFerm™ Energy Systems provides a range of anaerobic digestion systems for varying waste streams and energy needs. Our complete range of anaerobic digestion technology can be seen below. COCCUS® is a complete-mix anaerobic digester operating in the 8 – 13% total solids (TS) range at mesophilic temperatures. A variety of feedstocks can be processed to create mixtures with the appropriate solids content for the COCCUS®, such as liquid manure, biosolids, food waste, energy crops, and other low -solids waste. COCCUS® digester tanks are available in different sizes and can be combined to meet the needs of individual projects; the organic waste processing range is ~ 7,000 tons per year and up, depending on tank size and expansions. BIOFerm™ Dry Fermentation digesters process high-solids organic materials such as food waste, yard waste, manure on straw, and other stackable organics. Although feedstocks may arrive at varying solids contents, the ultimate input material mix ideally falls within the 25-35% TS range. During the batch-style digestion process, organic input material remains stationary inside the individual rectangular fermentation chambers, eliminating the need for moving parts. The modular construction design allows our Dry Fermentation system to be scaled according to the amount of organic material available at the particular operation. Operating in the mesophilic temperature range, a minimum of 8,000 tons of organic waste per year are typically processed with this system. Compact and small-scale, the EUCOlino anaerobic digester is shipped from the supplier and arrives on site as a complete, pre-assembled containerized unit. EUCOlino is ideal for operations with limited amounts of biomass or a small footprint; its ability to process a wide range of feedstocks make s it a great fit for: municipalities, campuses, wastewater treatment facilities, food processors, dairies, and more. This system can be scaled to process between 1,000 – 6,000 tons or organic waste per year, and also operates at mesophilic temperatures. Page | 7 BIOFermTM Energy Systems A Viessmann Group Company www.BIOFermEnergy.com info@BIOFermEnergy.com COCCUS® Digester Technology COCCUS digester potential site overview The COCCUS® digester tank was first developed by the Viessmann Group member, Schmack Biogas GmbH, for efficient biogas production from food wastes, liquid manure, biosolids, agricultural waste, energy crops, and other low solids organics. BIOFermTM offers all biogas technologies of the Viessmann Group, including the COCCUS® system. COCCUS® is a complete-mix anaerobic digester typically operating in the mesophilic temperature range. This digester is utilized for input materials with low solids content, including percolate liquid from high solids anaerobic digestion. Retention time in the reactor varies by type of substrate and is established to maximize efficiency in 1) PASCO Feeder 2) CALIX 3) EUCO plug-flow digester 4) COCCUS continuous stirred-tank reactor 5) CHP 6) Transformer 7) SULA final storage Page | 8 BIOFermTM Energy Systems A Viessmann Group Company www.BIOFermEnergy.com info@BIOFermEnergy.com methane production over time. The digester design incorporates an effluent re cycle line to assist in system buffering and improved biogas output. The complete-mix COCCUS® digester is equipped with two to three large REMEX® paddle mixers and incorporates a gas storage headspace region above the liquid tank. The digester achieves optimum biogas yields by ensuring homogenous horizontal and vertical mixing of organics through the slow and continuous movement of the REMEX® paddle mixers. This mixing motion additionally prevents sedimentary and surface layers from forming inside the anaerobic digestion tank. With extremely low power consumption rates, REMEX® paddle mixers are constructed from high quality durable parts which provide for low maintenance and failure rates. The process results in well mixed effluent for post-digestion nutrient recovery systems. In addition to the optimized plant control and two independent heating loops, the large paddle mixers inside the COCCUS® digester contribute to its high efficiency. The mixers are controlled via variable frequency drives, which enable modulation of the power consumption of the mixers in response to the input material to save mixing energy. The drive motor of the mixer is mounted onto the outside wall of the COCCUS® so that only the long-life, self-lubricating polyamide bearings are located inside the fermenter. Internal view of COCCUS® featuring REMIX® mixers and wooden roof structure for desulfurization Page | 9 BIOFermTM Energy Systems A Viessmann Group Company www.BIOFermEnergy.com info@BIOFermEnergy.com BIOFermTM Dry Fermentation Anaerobic Digestion Technology The BIOFerm™ Dry Fermentation technology differs from traditional wet digester tank systems that utilize liquid feedstocks and physically stir and agitate materials with moving parts. In systems with internal moving parts, some organic materials, such as long blades of grass, or contaminant inorganic materials, such as plastic bags, may become tangled causing mechanical problems or failure. Further, many inputs must go through pre - processing, like grinding or sorting, before use in a wet system. The industrial-scale BIOFermTM Dry Fermentation technology can recover energy from almost any kind of organic material. This system holds organic input stationary and requires little additional liquid , lowering the operating cost and susceptibility to damage. Organic waste is simply stored inside the fermentation chambers and sprayed with a solution—percolate—containing micro-organisms to optimize the digestion process of substrates. Digester Design BIOFermTM Dry Fermentation systems have a rectangular floor plan comprised of a series of modular, vehicle- accessible fermentation chamber units each with 114’ x 23’ x 17’ dimensions. Due to the small nature of the setup, a skid-steer loader or small tractor are typically the best candidates for loading. Organic input is continually digested inside the chambers while biogas is recovered. The modular construction approach allows the implementation of several chambers, which creates a higher and mor e consistent biogas quality; this is especially important for obtaining a higher production capacity. It also allows the system to be designed to scale according to the amount of organic material available to the particular operation, or how much energy production is desired. All engineering components are located in a separate te chnology area of the building. The BIOFermTM Dry Fermentation system is distinguished by pairing a wet fermenter (COCCUS®) to the process; the system is then capable of handling liquid feedstock in addition to dry wastes. These liquid feedstocks include FOGS (fats, oils and greases), dissolved air flotation slurry, and other low solids input. The percolate that filters through the input material is collected and stored in a COCCUS ® continuous stirred-tank reactor (CSTR) tank near the fermentation chambers. Biodigester 1: BIOFermTM Dry Fermentation System for food and yard waste at the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh Page | 10 BIOFermTM Energy Systems A Viessmann Group Company www.BIOFermEnergy.com info@BIOFermEnergy.com The COCCUS® has a dual membrane roof system that acts as gas storage bag, holding the biogas at constant pressure. Biogas is also captured from each chamber and routed through a piped ventilation system to the dual membrane roof of the COCCUS®. The concrete fermentation chamber is air- and gas- tight to prevent the infiltration of oxygen—the presence of which would cause the methane producing bacteria to become inactive— as well as the leakage of biogas. Feedstock Preprocessing A unique feature of the BIOFermTM Dry Fermentation process is the ease of which feedstocks can be utilized for digestion; it is unnecessary to screen, shred, or grind input material, unless recycling or composting is desired. Only large contaminants need be removed if so desired (i.e. large lumber, concrete, etc.). Feedstock is initially received and stored indoors in either a process area of a MRF or in the mixing area of the fermentation building. The unloading area typically provides sufficient space for feedstock handling vehicles including: roll-off trucks, side and rear load residential collection trucks, front load commercial collection trucks , etc. Once substrates arrive in the mixing area, the facility operator is responsible for ensuring correct fermenter loading procedure. The receiving area allows visual inspection of incoming feedstocks by site personnel as it is unloaded and before relocation to fermenters or temporary storage areas. Large materials that fit the following criteria will be manually removed as residue: materials incompatible with the digestion and composting processes, inputs that may damage process equipment (e.g. concrete and asphalt, treated wood waste), or inputs which are visible household hazardous wastes. These residues will be removed to a temporary storage area from the anaerobic digestion facility via front-end loader and removed to appropriate end uses. A stackable feedstock mixture with a total solids content greater than 2 5% is maintained during the process. Volatile solids—organic loading strength—are monitored as material is loaded into fermentation chambers. Other BIOFermTM Dry Fermentation System Page | 11 BIOFermTM Energy Systems A Viessmann Group Company www.BIOFermEnergy.com info@BIOFermEnergy.com key parameters, such as pH, toxic substances, and salts, are also monitored prior to introduction to the digesters with the addition of assorted organic materials. Feedstock Options As mentioned, the BIOFermTM Dry Fermentation system is well suited for materials with a solids content of greater than 25%. Most materials that can be stacked can put into the fermentation chamber. Some organics feedstock options for BIOFermTM Dry Fermentation include, but are not limited to: Food waste Yard waste, such as grass clippings, leaves, brush, tree clippings, etc. Solid waste from agricultural operations Other solid organic waste materials Mixing chamber at Biodigester 1 Page | 12 BIOFermTM Energy Systems A Viessmann Group Company www.BIOFermEnergy.com info@BIOFermEnergy.com EUCOlino Anaerobic Digestion Technology EUCOlino is a compact, containerized biogas system that allows operations with limited footprints or waste streams to utilize biomass for energy generation through anaerobic digestion. The system’s versatility allows it to process a wide range of feedstock including, but not limited to: biosolids, food waste, yard waste, agricultural waste, manure, and renewable biomass. Each fermenter is 200 m3 and can be combined in a modular fashion based on the input material and available feedstock; gas utilization, such as Combined Heat and Power (CHP) units, are sized accordingly. Every system configuration may optionally be equipped with a feeder, separator, and macerator pump. EUCOlino is simple, flexible and easily integrated into already-established operations. The modular small-scale design makes EUCOlino perfect for projects with limited space available. Additionally, this system is shipped to the client as pre-fabricated containerized units allowing for minimum on-site construction and assembly. Substrate Feeding EUCOlino can be interfaced with multiple feeding options. For example, feedstocks may be slurried and pumped to a holding tank to ensure uniform feeding. Alternatively, higher solids material can be augured directly into the digester; solids are stored in a hopper above the auger for this batch feeding process. Alternatively, the organic material can be collected and directly fed into the digester via a feed hopper. Depending on the composition of the feedstock, the hopper holds enough material for two days and automatically feeds the digester unit approximately once an hour. The liquid substrate, i.e. wastewater, is pumped directly into the digester where it is mixed with the solid feedstock via the horizontal paddle mixers located within the unit. The ideal total solids—TS%—of the feedstock for EUCOlino ranges from 13-17%. EUCOlino digester Page | 13 BIOFermTM Energy Systems A Viessmann Group Company www.BIOFermEnergy.com info@BIOFermEnergy.com Internal view of EUCOlino system As mentioned, the digesters are pre-fabricated, containerized units shipped on-site and placed onto a concrete pad foundation. A single unit is a complete system and includes all interior piping, insulation , and process equipment. The digester is a continuous mixed plug-flow system meaning that organic material is fed into one end of the digester and emptied on the other. Each digester unit has a total capacity of 200 m3 and processes approximately 1,000 tons of organic waste per year . Additional digester modules may be placed alongside each other in series to increase the total operating capacity to 400 m3 or 600 m3. EUCOlino is operated at mesophilic temperature and is capable of handling the extreme cold temperatures experienced in the United States and Canada. Hydraulic Retention Time (HRT) ranges from 20 to 30 days, depending on the feedstock. EUCOlino consumes approximately 12% parasitic load to power all auxiliary components including: pumps, paddle mixer, feeder, controls, etc. The biogas produced during the fermentation process is collected and temporarily stored in a 25 m3 biogas bag (expandable to 50m3) located in an enclosed container on top of the digester unit; from there, biogas is piped to the CHP container for further processing. EUCOlino’s electrical output depending on the feedstock type and amount. As designed, the digester requires two to four hours of attendance daily for tasks such as: feedstock loading via the PASCO feeding system or a liquid feeder, routine maintenance, and monitoring duties of all components and parameters (including final screening and compost-ready solids production, if included). All biogas system functions are 100% automated, and the control system may be accessed from any computer with an internet connection. Functions can be included to dial an unlimited amount of telephone numbers in case of an alarm. Land Requirement The EUCOlino digester module has a footprint of approximately 800 ft2. All together, the EUCOlino digester along with the feeder, digestate separator, digester and CHP, has a footprint of 100 feet x 15 feet – approximately that of a shipping container.

About BIOFerm™ © BIOFerm™ Energy Systems 2014 Construction of the Allen Farms’ small-scale, plug-and-play digester began in Fall 2012 to process manure and bedding from 136 dairy cows. Herd size and a progressive mindset made Allen Farms an ideal partner for UW- Oshkosh’s and BIOFermTM Energy System’s first United States installation of the small-scale digester system, EUCOlino. The digester’s completion marks a pioneer effort to bring technology previously available only to large industrial facilities to the family-sized farm. The economical and sustainable implementation of the digester opens a new market for U.S. facilities that produce smaller amounts of waste. Plant Dimensions and Process The digester consists of two fermentation vessels, each measuring 55.7’ x 11.5’ x 11.5’, and a PASCO feeding hopper with 13’ x 30’ dimensions. The total footprint is approximately 2,460 square feet, and the system averages a retention time between 25-35 days. Feedstock The plant is designed to handle up to 2,000 tons of the farm’s manure and animal bedding each year supplemented by parlor wash water, lactose pellets, and fats, oils, and grease (FOGs).

The biodigester was installed by the University of Wisconsin - Oshkosh (UWO) and utilizes the dairy’s manure to generate renewable energy and tackle environmental concerns. The project also includes the creation of a public education center and a research laboratory accessible to UWO staff, students, and the public. The project is one of three biodigesters built in collaboration between UWO and BIOFerm™ Energy Systems. Financials & System Components $7 million capital investment for the anaerobic digestion portion. Technology Feature: REMEX® Paddle Mixer The Rosendale Dairy biodigester achieves optimum fermentation through the deep, slow and continuous agitation of the REMEX® Paddle Mixer inside the tanks. This low power consuming mixer ensures homogenous horizontal and vertical mixing, low maintenance requirements, low failure rates, robustness and durability, and the elimination of sinking and swimming layers. The process results in well mixed effluent for post-digestion nutrient recovery systems.
