2 Flotech / Greenlane Company Overview

3 Flotech The Flotech Group founders started a business in 1983 to provide machinery installation services to the then burgeoning Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) industry in New Zealand. The organization operates internationally, offering solutions for: Industrial Heat Exchange Gas Purification, Drying and Conditioning Gas Compression Technical Support, Field Services and Spare Parts

4 Greenlane Biogas Greenlane Biogas is known as the global leader in biogas upgrading solutions. Our team has been developing biogas upgrading projects for more than 20 years. Development and implementation of market leading biogas upgrading technology is the major driver for the Flotech Group. Biomethane CNG Station - Sweden

5 Engineering professionals Greenlane Biogas has a unique vertically integrated technology, design and manufacture with supporting installation and commissioning services. Our clients are serviced by a worldwide AfterCare team. Permanent staff include: Process engineers Instrumentation and electrical (E&I) engineers Mechanical, pressure vessel and structural engineers Rotating equipment specialists Skilled, experienced craftspeople in our fabrication and assembly shops Experienced managers and supervisors Quality assurance professionals Flotech FPSO Project - Singapore

6 Biogas/ Landfill Gas Upgrading

7 Biogas Upgrading Biogas is produced by the anaerobic digestion of organic matter such as manure, sewage sludge, industrial waste, the organic fractions of household waste, etc Biogas can be upgraded to be a substitute for natural gas The typical gas composition of biogas and biomethane are as follows: Biogas CH 4 : ~60% CO 2 : ~39% N 2 +O 2 : <1% H 2 S: ppm H 2 O: Saturated Siloxanes: Trace Biomethane CH 4 : >96% CO 2 : ~1% O 2 : <0.4% Total inerts: <4% H 2 S: <1 ppm H 2 O: <1 ppm Siloxanes: <1 ppm

8 How Water Scrubbing Works The raw biogas is compressed, then fed to a scrubbing vessel where it is contacted with water. CO2, H2S, siloxanes and other trace contaminants are preferentially absorbed by the water. Absorbed methane is flashed off, in a vessel at a lower pressure and recovered by returning it to the start of the process. Product gas is further purified by a proprietary TSA, before being analyzed and delivered to the customer.

9 Technology Comparison Process Benefits Disadvantages Physical Solvent (other than water) Physical Membrane (high pressure process) PSA / VSA (pressure swing adsorption or molecular sieve) Water Scrubbing (with PSA/TSA purifier) 1. High absorption rate 2. High CH4 yields possible 3. Can deliver biomethane at low pressure 1. Low capital cost 2. Simple plant 3. Experience upgrading LFG 1. Can remove some inert gases, often with an additional process module 2. Low efficiency version cost effective on small scale 1. Excellent safety; proven performance 2. Reliable, simple and easy to maintain 3. Low capital and operating costs 4. Siloxanes effectively removed 1.Safety solvent is dangerous to handle 2. Complex process difficult control system 3. Prohibitive capital costs for new equipment 4. Biogas / LFG contaminants cause foaming 1. Low biomethane purity 2. High energy consumption 3. Membranes foul and require replacement 1.Media becomes fouled and needs replacement 2.Process difficult to control problems maintaining high CH 4 recovery 3.Bed fluidization causes dusting of media 4.Upstream H 2 S removal required 1. Practical capacity limit of ~2500 Nm3/h 2. Does not remove inerts (e.g. O 2 and N 2 )

10 Flotech Water Scrubbing Technology in Focus Water used as the scrubbing agent - Water scrubbing process upgrades raw biogas to vehicle fuel or pipeline standards efficiently, and with less impact on the environment Biomethane quality exceeds recognized international vehicle fuel standards and natural gas quality specifications. Hydrogen Sulphide - Flotech s innovative, patented polishing process is proven to reduce biomethane H2S carryover to less than 1 ppm in the biomethane. Siloxanes -Flotech s system removes siloxanes to the levels required for reliable use for internal combustion engines Track Record - Flotech has the longest and best track record in the industry

11 High Availability Biomethane Systems Greenlane biomethane plants have the highest availability in the market. Twenty years of experience and seven generations of design have translated into a set of standard systems with no surprises. Issues around biogas liquids handling, contaminant fouling, biogas composition variations, etc., have been solved. Repeating proven designs with reliable components controlled by verified software is our recipe for eliminating operational risk. Remote monitoring and management ensure plants perform as expected.

City of Hamilton, Ontario Rimu System Installation This installation will become a key reference for Ontario s proposed biomethane program. Greenlane Biogas Upgrading System Hamilton, Ontario

19 Our Philosophy Flotech is committed to continuing to lead the biogas upgrading market. Our first focus is ensuring biomethane quality, so that the biomethane produced is fully interchangeable with natural gas for either vehicle or natural gas pipeline applications Secondly, we maximize the value of the biogas resource, by providing 98%+ CH 4 yield with the highest plant availabilities in the market. Thirdly, we have standardized our system offering to six capacities and leveraged our global supply chain to minimize capital costs while maintaining market leading quality. Finally, our systems have been designed to minimize operating costs, including power consumption, maintenance costs, the supervision requirement for operators, and total plant consumables Greenlane MANUKA - Motala, Sweden
