Elcon Energy Presentation

thank you thank you before I introduce Dr remes I just want to give a little bit of background uh to the presentation and to the purpose of the presentation um in terms of background Dr raes and I have been working for over a year now as we've been pursuing the strategy of bringing Innovative new technologies and new companies to the industrial park and we've been identifying companies around the world that um do things in the sustainability and Recycling and green energy space and tonight's presentation is going to be focused on one such company which has an interest in coming here uh Dr raes himself who's a former Chief Architect and CTO of ge's Water Division very large multi-billion dollar uh business he is a recognized worldwide expert in water process and Technology adviser to governments corporations and entrepreneurs and he will represent elcon in this current presentation um Lakewood is attracted to Elon both culturally and location wise as he showed during his presentation uh one of their large Target customer bases is the pharmaceutical industry and Lakewood is well situated along the pharmaceutical belt that runs essentially from Philadelphia up to New York um today's presentation is intended to introduce this concept to Lakewood the public and to the committee and to gain an expression of interest from the committee in pursuing investigating bringing this company to lakeood It Is by no means the end or the culmination of a process it's rather more the beginning of that process and it is a precursor to the company being able to uh enter into discussions and permit applications with d and EPA if they come here this company will mean growth for our industrial parks leading Innovation and high paying jobs tonight again as I said at the beginning of this process and Dr raes uh I know he crafted a tight presentation but given the fact that there's cake here behind us I think he's going to be even quicker than we have anticipa uh he has been gracious enough to offer to stay till the end of the meeting and so I would ask that public comment which we encourage and we requested and that's why we publicized this for over a month now so that people can come out and ask their questions and get educated about it uh that the initial questions at least be done during the public portion which will follow a few steps further along the agenda for can everybody hear me or do I need to go near the mic so than uh mayor and council members thank you very much for the opportunity to talk about elcon energy um my background is uh looking at clean water Clean Energy Technologies and clean environmental Technologies and when I was with G I came across a company from Israel which was very very interesting uh typically when Waste Water treatment is done you normally put in a lot of energy into the water to treat the waste water typically I was going around the world and looking at Technologies which actually extract energy from waste water reuse that energy in a sustainable manner so that it consumes Zero Energy actually it becomes net process it actually puts energy back on the grid and cleans water to a pristine distal water condition this is a very unique technology as we are looking at clean tech Technologies and green energy and green sustainable Technologies this is one technology which was developed in 2003 in Israel by an entrepreneur called Z elat who was PhD from Cornell University in New York and was the F was as Chief technology officer of blue solar which is a First Solar Company concentrated Solar Company and he invented this technology and it's a patented technology by us patterns So currently this um let me go into my presentation quickly basically elcon is located in Israel right now they have three operating facilities in Israel treating um was from pharmaceutical companies like Tava Taro aam and other fertilizer companies in Israel and uh to start founded in 2006 uh to 2003 it's headquartered in Hyer Israel and it's got very strong Financial backers to kind of test and validate this technology and it's a very seasoned technologist very knowledgeable technical people who have been running this company currently we are from Israel we are building a third facility in Israel which is in the southern part of Israel called rato I maybe didn't spell it correctly that's we are building a third facility and a fourth facility is being right now being permitted the permitting process in Italy to handle in Italian industry in pharmaceutical industry and the first anchor tenant for Italy Italian plant is at once again T pharmaceutic now what is this technology typically most indust know we all want Industries but it's like human beings we need to eat food to survive but also we generate waste same thing every industrial plant will generate waste but how do you deal with it in a very sustainable environmental friendly manner is what this technology is about what the way it is handled today is when you look at non-hazardous liquid you get liquid waste you get Solid Waste both hazardous and nonhazardous right now the way it is handled is most of the actually is being the waste typically what it contains is Metals there are some metals in the waste water there are some Organics but the Organics are technically energy and the third one is salts you have like most pharmaceutic company material can contain magnesium chloride calcium chloride sodium chloride those types of chloride salts and sulfate and phosphate salts and today what they're doing is they're not recycling all this they're basically shipping it down let somebody else deal with it but what we are doing right now is in this right now there's no recycling there it takes a lot of energy to treat that water and also very high disposal cost which is actually costing companies a lot of money now this Elon energy process is able to handle both solid and liquid waste coming in what it does is it transforms if we fundamentally believe matter can neither be created nor destroyed it can only be transformed if we fundamentally believe in that basically what we have done is in the manufacturing process we take fresh water we take energy we take raw materials mix it and make a product in the product make the process of making the product we generate waste all Industries do that but the way it is handled right now is this technology takes that waste and extracts value from that brings it back to the original condition let's talk about water the waste water which contains Organics metal sauce and other salts in the waste water and Organics it extracts the Organics and extracts the salts from the water and actually cleans up the water to distill water quality so it gets distill water material which can go back to an IND industrial operation or it goes back to the Waste Water treatment plan there's no demand for it and when we look at it we also extracting the Organics and converting that into electricity we are taking the energy and using part of the energy to clean up the water and the rest of the excess energy we're putting it back and the metals actually we are capturing it for reuse potential reuse because right now as you very well know metal prices have gone up Sky High in the last year year year and a half so some of these valuable Metals which are there we're capturing it and actually sending it back for reclaiming the valuable metals and the Sals actually it is good enough for a diin salt so what we do generate is because it's calcium chloride magnesium chloride and sodium chloride those are components of deicing salt so these purified materials can go back into deicing salt application and one of our interest is we would like to basically uh every one of the components that we recover what the valuable components that we can sell we actually planning to sell the waste the water which is dist water we are want to give it back to neighboring industri who want that water inad of buying the water from other utilities they can actually use this water which is actually cleaner than what they get from currently surfaced water now what do we do this is the process I mean I don't want to go into into detail this these slides are available if anybody wants it we'll be happy to share it with you what we do is we bring the waste water in and what we do is we do chemical treatment to recover the metals first because that's a valuable which is a typical chemical process and then we basically extract the Organics using a simple technology called steam stripping we use steam to extract the Organics from the waste water now where does the steam come from initially when we start the process we put a little bit of energy to generate steam once that process gets started the or extracted organ is used as energy to generate more steam so once the we get the process going within a matter of few hours the process becomes self sustaining it doesn't consume any more energy the same the energy is used re reused back to generate steam to clean up the water so it's a completely closed loop system so it's a energy neutral to energy positive technology and we basically take the the the Organics going to a thermal it's a regener thermal oxidizer we convert that into energy and extract that energy to B Steam and basically it's completely Clos glue and then the salt which come out of it goes into a crystallizer which goes into crystallized salt now basically this is a simplified version of it the vapors which are going almost up to 1,000° into the thermal oxidizer or crystallizer and basically you're extracting all the Organics so it becomes pure salt at the end of the day and the energy basically the rest of the energy goes back into cleaning the water now let's compare what is currently out there how are people doing it today why is this technology there are two other Technologies which are used today one is called a biological treatment which you see in the standard wastewater treatment plant where if you go to ocean county or any other wastewater treatment plant you see it's a lot of acreage it's 10 acres minimum of 10 acres of land is needed and so on ours is very small5 acres for the total and the footprint of the plant is only 20 15 to 20,000 sare ft that's all we need it's very compact plan and and incineration takes almost 15 Acres it's a huge operation incineration so when you look at energy recycling both biological treatment and incineration they basically don't recycle the energy we recycle all the energy the energy required typically is around $2 to $40 a Time of waste water that's treated in the case of biological treatment insation takes about $80 a time but whereas our elcon process use less than $5 a t for energy and that energy is actually we get the energy back because we sell the power to the uh CO2 emissions when you start looking at emissions of air emissions is 120 to 150 kg per ton of waste water but whereas our process is almost one6 is 24 tons of CO2 significant CO2 reduction in emissions and when you look at solids can they be recycled in other two processing you cannot it goes to the landfill but here we are recovering the metals and Sals and water is 100% reused so when you look at the sustainability of this particular technology there is no other technology currently available today which is 100% sustainable from a green energy standpoint and an environmental standpoint so this is this is the footprint of the plant you can basically see it's about 3 to 4 M about 12 to 15 ft by about 15 ft and another another about 20 ft High to 30 ft High uh and there's one portion which goes up but this is actually three two facilities side by side so plant will be have this particular size what we looking at in Lakewood so now we may ask why Lakewood uh interestingly enough and I first again Lakewood has been very proactive basically when we were starting with the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection to get permitting process for this Lake wooders basically said they heard about this Ste tech technology they were very very supportive saying that look why don't you consider L and what is interestingly enough is I later came to came to find out is there's a lot of ties between Israeli my friends in Israel as well as Lake there be a lot of TI so that's another reason which is very attractive plus also it's easy when you when you bring early stage when you bring people in for training and so on for them to translate and communicate is a whole lot easier most importantly clients most of our clients are 200 M radius from this area all the way down to Delaware all the way to New York and to Pennsylvania so we are looking at this is the the opportunity that we are looking at we are in the process of talking to d right now D we have gone through almost one year of reviews and basically this is the first step of the process that we want to talk to you about and uh we would love to hear your comments and thank you very very much for the opportunity and I'm happy here this is information of the Personnel like basically it's 15,000 ft we will need about 35 employees it's going to be 24/7 operation and we will be putting about 200 KW right now and it can go up to almost 1 Mega of power to put on the bread green energy thank you thank you is
