  1. On-site Anaerobic Digestion For The Food Sector2nd April 2014 www.clearfleau.com

  2. Private Limited Company – Set up in 2006 British Based - Bracknell (& Cambridge) Process - focus on liquid Anaerobic Digestion Market – for industrial clients: Manufacturing Industry - Dairy, foods, beverage / distillery and biofuels sectors Scotland, England, plus Ireland and EU Clients – Supplier to Diageo, Nestle, Olleco Project Delivery - design & build / operate Trials Unit – containerised mobile digester Project Partners- Ener-G (CHP / BOO) / Koch (Membranes) / UTS Biogas (Higher Solids AD) CLEARFLEAU – AN OVERVIEW 2

  3. Process – Focus on liquid residues + solids on range of industrial sites Market - Current projects include: Milk & Dairy Products Confectionery & Food Distillers & Brewers Biofuels, Fats & Oils On-site AD - Commercial Benefits On-site energy supply Biogas from COD removal Possible grey water re-use Revenue and cost reduction Wider environmental benefits

  4. UK AD Market - 3 Core Sectors: Municipal: landfill diverted materials diverse feedstocks Farm: slurry and crop residues lower cost technology Industrial: bio-degradable materials on-site heat & power Food & Drink Sector Opportunities: Escalating energy costs Treatment capacity limits Effluent discharge consents Revenue generation potential Scottish ban on landfill disposal EVOLVING MARKETPLACE

  5. Carbon Benefits of AD AEROBIC TREATMENT High Methane Emissions HIGH STRENGTHProduction Residues and Co-products LOW STRENGTH Divert fromSewer Discharge ANAEROBIC DIGESTION PROCESS CO2 BIOGAS DIGESTATE NUTRIENTSCarbon Reduction CO2 GAS TO GRID GAS TO CHP POWER SAVING Carbon Reduction CO2 CO2 HEAT SAVING Carbon Reduction HEAT SAVING Carbon Reduction

  6. Financial Drivers for On-site AD On-site cost reduction • Discharge fees • Energy savings • Operation costs Government support • Renewables incentives • Grants (feasibility only) • Carbon reduction (tax?) Return on investment depends on incentives / cost savings BUT - Development of smaller scale AD now at risk due to DECC degression of under 500kW FIT rate from April 2014.

  7. Mobile AD Plant - Designed for On-site Trials Small Scale Production Plant (SSPP) Containerised plant Feedstock, power & water Treats up to 2m3/day 9m3 reactor & thickener Full process control Gas metered & flared off Internal lab facilities Operated for over 3 years Trials in 2014: Food, Brewery, Distillery & Fish Oil sectors SMALL SCALE SOLUTIONS

  8. Small-scale Solutions Support from WRAP: • Brewery Co-products • Containerised AD unit • Membrane thickening • Plug and play solution • Biogas to on-site boiler Diverse Opportunities • Micro-breweries • Speciality Cheese • Ice cream & desserts • Pharmaceutical • Food ingredients
