SOLVENT GREEN WASTE PROCESSING SYSTEMS
Sun Combustion, Inc., in its continuing effort to provide its customers with the best and most innovative problem solving environmental technology, has entered into a joint co-operation agreement with Solvent Green, Inc. Solvent Green, Inc.'s environmental technology provides another innovative solution to difficult waste handling and disposal problems plaguing industry and agriculture. SOLVENT GREEN, INC. Solvent Green, Inc. is engaged in commercializing a technology that processes Hydrocarbon / Organic-based wastes in an environmentally friendly way and converts them into commercially valuable commodities. This is accomplished utilizing a “zero-emissions” process that turns Hydrocarbon / Organic-based wastes into Hydrogen, Carbon Dioxide and Argon gases with little residual material remaining. Solvent Green Inc.’s process allows the Hydrocarbon / Organic-based waste producer to process their Hydrocarbon / Organic-based waste products on-site and convert them into value added components for reuse and / or sale. BACKGROUND Hydrocarbon / Organic-based wastes are generated in many industrial and agricultural processes as a by-product of their normal manufacturing and operating processes. Hydrocarbon / Organic-based wastes include: hydrocarbon solvents, chemicals, scraped tires, used motor oil, animal waste, meat renderings, municipal solid waste and landfill gases. Historically, wastes generated from industrial processes, agricultural operations and municipal solid waste collection were transported off-site at significant cost to the waste producer and then utilized as inexpensive fuels or buried in landfills. Waste liquid solvent material is typically taken to cement kilns, furnaces, boilers, etc. and / or co-generation facilities and utilized as a fuel or just incinerated. The solids from agricultural wastes (e.g., meat and bone meal) and municipal solid wastes are usually burned in boilers and co-generation facilities and / or buried in landfills. Methane gas, produced by digester systems, is burned as a fuel to produce steam, electricity, etc.
INDUSTRIES THAT GENERATE HYDROCARBON / ORGANIC WASTES
EXAMPLE: There are over 50 SIC companies with processes that produce hydrocarbon based solvent wastes and they include: pharmaceuticals, paint companies, automotive parts cleaning companies, adhesives and specialty / bulk chemical companies, plastics manufacturers, and others. In fact, there is 5.6 Million tons of candidate material (material that could be processed by the Solvent Green process) produced annually in the United States alone. There is another 7.2 million tons annually produced in the European Union. The total current market for hauling and incineration of all of this material is $1.6 billion per year. Note: The EU has recently passed the “Solvent Directive” that mandates disposal of solvents within a member country’s borders. This represents an $80 billion infrastructure problem for the EU members that Solvent Green’s technology can address. Other markets like scraped tires, used oils & greases and municipal solids represent even larger markets for the application of the Solvent Green process. WHAT IS THE SOLVENT GREEN PROCESS? Solvent Green is a proprietary process that converts Hydrocarbon / Organic-based waste, derived from liquid and solid wastes (e.g., spent hydrocarbon liquids and industrial solvents, organic material from landfills, agricultural and municipal solid waste), into the primary component gases of Hydrogen, Carbon Dioxide and Argon; all of these component gases have significant revenue generating value as saleable commodities. These Hydrocarbon / Organics-based wastes can be handled alone or in combination and the entire Solvent Green process is emissions free with little residual material remaining. Why was THE Solvent Green PROCESS Developed? The Solvent Green Process was developed to provide an “Emissions-Free” alternative to the traditional methods of handling Hydrocarbon / Organic-based waste material and to extract the inherent value of these Hydrocarbon / Organic-based waste streams in the form of “clean-energy” and / or the useful products that can be derived from utilizing this unique process. What Materials can THE Solvent Green PROCESS Convert? The Solvent Green process can convert most Hydrocarbon / Organic-based waste produced by industry and agriculture. These Hydrocarbon / Organic-based waste streams can be homogeneous or mixed. The liquid waste is converted to vapors and the solid waste is gasified prior to the Solvent Green process; gaseous waste is processed directly. A partial list of candidate Hydrocarbon / Organic-based waste liquids, solids and gases include:
How does the SOLVENT GREEN
Process Work? The Solvent Green process accepts Hydrocarbon / Organic-based wastes in many different forms, either individually or in combination, and processes these Hydrocarbon / Organic-based waste input streams into Hydrocarbon-based gases using either vaporization (liquids), pyrolysis (solids) or directly in the case of gases. The
Solvent Green process then
combines the produced Hydrocarbon-based gases with pure oxygen and steam and
sends them to a catalytic reactor that
reforms the hydrogen /
carbon bond (separates
the hydrogen from the carbon)
of the Hydrocarbon-based gases.
From that point, standard gas separation techniques collect the component
gases of Hydrogen, Carbon Dioxide and Argon.
There
is little residual material remaining from the process and the
process is entirely “Emissions-Free”.

Happens to the Process By-products / COMPONENTS? The

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS
OF THE SOLVENT GREEN PROCESS?
The Solvent Green process provides multiple benefits to the producers of Hydrocarbon / Organic-based waste:
A SOLVENT GREEN, INC. BUSINESS MODEL A Solvent Green, Inc.
business model would be to construct a Solvent Green processing plant on or near
a customer’s site and to own, operate and maintain the processing plant either
solely or in partnership with the host customer.
Solvent Green, Inc. will provide a service by taking a direct feed of
Hydrocarbon / Organic-based waste from the customer’s manufacturing processes
on-site and safely convert the Hydrocarbon / Organic-based waste into “revenue
generating” streams of H2, CO2, Ar and N2.
Solvent Green, Inc. will handle all commercial aspects of the generation
and sale of the by-products / components.
