The plasma arc process uses an enclosed reactor to gasify feedstock in the absence of oxygen through pyrolysis. This produces synthesis gas (syngas) as well as slag and recoverable metals. The syngas can be used as fuel or to produce liquid fuels and chemicals. The slag becomes rockwool or other materials. The plasma arc reactor exceeds EPA emission guidelines and produces near pure products. It has extremely low maintenance costs due to its long life cycle of 50 years, making it economically viable for large-scale operations.

6. Plasma Arc Technology
WHAT IS PLASMA?
Fourth State of Matter,
Ionized Gas Created by Converting
Electrical Energy into Thermal Energy,
Creates Extremely High Temperature /
Energy Levels,
Thermal Arc at 30,000 to 33,000 Degrees
Fahrenheit,
“Fourth State” of Matter,
Ionized Gas at High Temperature Capable
of Conducting,
Lightening is an Example from Nature.
6
7. Chemistry
Basic Chemistry Plasma Chemistry
Matter is made up of molecules With these high temperatures
(above 2,250 Degree Fahrenheit),
Molecules are two or more molecules exposed to a plasma are
atoms held together ionized and broken into individual
atoms.
Atoms are held together Atomic
Bonds These atoms can then be re-
combined into simple compounds
when temperature is lowered.
Atomic Bonds have a certain
amount of energy – the Bond
Energy It does not matter what molecule is
exposed to plasma, all will
dissociate.
If the Bond Energy is exceeded,
the Bond Breaks
7
8. Plasma Arc Technology
PYROLYSIS:
Without Oxygen, materials in furnace don’t combust,
Pyrolysis – Dissociation of Compounds into their elemental atoms
and reforming them into a fuel gas-referred as “Reversed Nano
Gasification”.
Oxygen is a by-product and not part of Process versus
Incineration /Atmospheric Gasifiers that requires Oxygen (all
others).
Oxygen is not part of the process but a by-product.
8
9. Plasma IS More Efficient
Plasma is more efficient than older methods of gasification.
The Carbon to Carbon Bonds are more difficult to break. This can
not be done easily in conventional Atmospheric Gasifiers due to their
low temperatures – that is why Char is formed. Plasma breaks these
bonds so all of the carbon is converted.
The Plasma Reaction is Endothermic. Therefore, all of the Energy
required for the process is available for recovery later.

17
18. DuTemp CTL Plants DO NOT Differentiate Between
the Quality of the Coal
DuTemp CTL plants do not differentiate between the quality of coal. Our concern is
the actual chain of Carbon Molecules. Our process is not combustion but Pyrolysis
or the dissociation of molecules or breaking apart of “Molecular Bonds”.
18
21. Some of the Advantages of Plasma Arc Reactor
DOES NOT Differentiate between the Quality of Feedstock;
ANY TYPE of Carbon is Considered Feedstock;
Moisture in Coal is a Plus in this Process;
Coals BTU’s are NOT Important in this Process since it is NOT Combustion;
In the Absence of Primary Feedstock, Plant can Switch to Other Sources of carbon
base materials
Feedstock without Limitation;

23
24. Plasma Arc Technology
The End Product from the Reactor are Always the Same. The
Ratios may Vary depending on Changes in Chemistry or carbon
chains.
WHAT GOES IN MUST COME OUT..
ORGANICS: Turn to Syngas as a Fuel or Chemical Raw Material;
INORGANICS: Turn to Vitreous Slag that is Non-Leaching and
exceeds EPA Tests;
METALS: Are Recoverable in Ingots or Billets in Reducing
Environment.

SLAG: Can be Spun into Rockwool for Insulation,
Fibers have Multiple Uses (Hydroponics,
Tiles, etc), Turn to Frit for Blasting Media,
Cast into Tiles or Used as Aggregate;
METALS: Pig Iron, Billets. Very Easy to Analyze
and Provide Chemical Certification.
25
26. Coal the Most Abundant Fossil Fuel in the World..
LOCATION OF THE WORLD’S MAIN FOSSIL FUEL RESERVES
26
28. Heat Balance
The Carbon content of average Coal (on net basis) will dissociate or thermally
depolymerise into 180,000 to 196,000 cubic feet of synthesis gas per net ton, having an
energy value of 300 BTU per standard cubic foot of gas.
The heat rate for ATONN combined cycle power generating system is expected to be
about 42.277 or lower, generating 8,160 kW per ton of Coal that is processed.
The processing of 1000 tons of Net Coal per day or 41 tons per hour will release 8,118,000
cubic feet of synthesis gas per hour with a total BTU value of 2,435,400,000 BTU/HR.
At a heat rate of 7,277 the ATONN combined cycle gas turbine system will generate a
gross of 334.56 Megawatts of Electricity per hour, twenty-four hours a day.
When we deduct 104 Megawatts of this electric current to maintain the plasma arc and for
other plant requirements, we are left with available supply to the grid of 230.56 Megawatts
per hour (5,533.44 Megawatts per day).
Heat Recovery through Freon Driven Turbines are added value and can increase the power
production between 5% to 7%.
Disclaimer: All above numbers must be verified through FEED Study and Turbine selection.
28
29. CO2 Capturing
Gas separation occurs 2 times during the Syngas production process: right after
gasification itself and during burning the Syngas for power generation purposes.
DuTemp Reactors will separate most impurities up front during the gasification
itself. Therefore, there are less pollutants in produced Syngas versus the
Atmospheric Gasification which cannot scrub out any impurities during first phase
of gasification and must goes through expensive clean-up in a later phases through
scrubbing techniques that are proven too costly. In the said system (by others),
produced Syngas (only up to 32% conversion rate based on the carbon molecules) is
highly contaminated with all different components including lots of CO, CO2,
Sulphur and Metals due to uncompleted process. The presence of such impurities
make it very difficult and expensive to manage the Syngas Clean Up.
In order to separate the CO2 from the smoke-stack, the plant must be equipped with:
Alkyl base Amine Unit , or
Membrane Base Amine Unit
Both type of Amine Units will shut down with the presence of impurities, especially
metals in the processed gas.
The gases produced in our power plants would not effect the performance or
efficiency of Amine Units as there are no impurities present in the gas (Impurities
are scrubbed out upfront and in the reactor and water filtration).
29
30. CO2 Capturing (cont’d)
CO2 separation success rate in in ATONN systems' power generation Smoke-Stack
is 98% or better that it is far below US-EPA mandates.
All other known systems including Atmospheric Units (such as GE, Duke, Shell,
Texaco, Sasol, Conoco, Chinese Gasifies, Eastman Kodak) or those using
Atmospheric Units with Plasma Torch (Westinghouse Systems and most others
claiming they are selling Plasma Technologies(, cannot use the Amine Units
efficiently due to impurities in their produced Syngas (first phase) and in their
Smoke Stack (second phase) that will cause Amine shut down quickly. The
captured CO2 requires sequestering process due to hi contaminants and difficulties
with Amine process.
CO2 sequestering is experimental, expensive and not a viable solution for 21 st
century.
When the costs of Scrubbing and sequestering are added to a project value
(CAPEX), the project financially is bankrupt.
It is our opinion that the U.S Government shall not be responsible for CO2
Sequestering or its associated costs as it will permit bad practices.
30
31. How to Eliminate Nox, reduce CO2 Foot Print and Increase
Efficiency in Power Plants?
DuTemp will consider using the following blends of gases in its power
generation units:
40% Syngas
12% Hydrogen
48% Pure Oxygen
No Air is permitted in the Power Plant’s fire chamber thus no Nox.
With Using this Model, your finished products from the Smoke-Stack are:
Near Pure Water that will be recycled back to the Plasma Reactor or Hydrogen
Plant for self consumption;
Steam through use of Freon Driven Turbines, its heat is extracted to produce
electricity and also the steam will be condensed to produce more water.
Near pure CO2 will be captured by Amine Unit for sale. If no market for sale, CO2
will be recycled back to Plasma Reactor.
This balance is not possible with any other fuel for power generation except near
pure Syngas produced in DuTemp’s Reactors.

36. Business Model - I
Coal Conversion Plant through Plasma Arc Reactor to convert 2000 to 3000 MT/day of net
Coal and produce 530 MWH to 720 MWH Electricity, (all numbers are assumptions and not
valid until evaluated through FEED Study);
The Coal Conversion facilities will be designed for 24/7/365 operation by using one spare
additional Reactor for maintenance;
Total Reactors are either 5 x 1000 MT/day or 7 x 1000 MT/day (Size of Reactor’s processing
capacities are based on MSW. When consuming Coal, processing will be reduced by 50% of
its actual feeding capacity but the SynGas production is 4 to 6 times higher);
One Reactor is on Standby for the maintenance of Other Reactors working on-line;
Power Generation Equipment may vary, but for this assumption, we propose 3 x GE Frame-
7FA or Dual GE Frame-9FA Power Plants;
Secondary Power Generation through Freon/Propane Driven Turbines are viable and increases
the yield between 5% to 7% (additional investment required).
36
37. Business Model - I / Advantages

No need for Cooling Towers and thus, less Water Consumption; Water quality for usage is not important.
50 years Life Expectancy on Plasma Reactors;
Price Tag is about $1.2 Million to $1.4 Million per MW of Power or between $720 Million to $840 Million for
Plant with Power Generation capacity of 530 MWH to 720 MWH (must be verified through FEED Study);
The Cost of Implementation is 1/3 less than IGCC configuration with Atmospheric Gasifier by Others such as

40. Size Does Matter
No Other Company is proposing gasification plants using plasma over 1500
barrels per day production from processing 300 MT/day Coal due to their reactor
size restrictions. Such an operation is not feasible to the market place and does not
impact it in any way or shape.
DuTemp proposes to start with a 50,000 barrels per day production unit through
processing 8000 MT/day of net Coal that can easily be ramped-up to 250,000
barrels per day plants using 33,000 MT/day net Coal. Such an implementation
would gets the market’s attention as it is making a statement with its operational
size.
The most difficult aspect of fuel production after producing near pure Syngas is
the “Compression Units” prior to “FT” process (Liquid Phase). This has been
solved by DuTemp while still a major obstacle for others;
Bigger Plants are more efficient due to the ability to use larger frame power plants.
When comparing the GE LM6000 with Frame-9FA, the Frame-9FA is 300% more
efficient with while consuming the same amount of SynGas.
40
41. Cost of Construction Per Plant
$33,000+ plus per Barrel on Reactors
$22,000+ plus per Barrel on GTL Vessels
First Phase Investment: $2.45+ Billion
Second Phase: $4.8+ plus Billion
(can be self-financed against the income of first phase after 6 months in
operation)
Total Cost for 250,000 bbl/day: $7.25+ plus Billion
Storage Facilities: 15 days
Storage Target Capacity: 90 Days through additional investment.
41
42. Conversion on $$ Basis
One Ton of average Quality Coal is up to $50 USD delivered to Plant;
One Ton of Standard Specs Liquid Fuel being made from Crude Oil is about $700
USD/Ton;
One Ton of CTL Fuel with Near Pure Specs is above $1500+ USD/Ton;
GTL Products are being made from Natural Gas (NG) only at this time;
The Three Major Producers of GTL Products in the world are: Qatar, Iran & Saudi
Arabia while U.S. is a net importer of these products at this time,
There has been Limited Production of GTL in the World due to the High Price of NG in
the past;
GTL/CTL Products are Primary Additive Components for Refiners as Octane and
Cetane boosting components;
Octane and Cetane boosting processes in Refineries are the most costly and dangerous
part of refining;
Refiners are the Main Importers of GTL Fuels around the World;
CTL Plant can complement the Refiners Daily Operations and Reduce their cost of
Importation that will be passed to their consumers;
Coal to Liquid Plants compete directly with Gas to Liquid Plants (GTL);
CTL production costs are 1/3 less than GTL production costs due to lower price of
feedstock. 42
43. Strategic Storage Facilities
If and When the Investor can build and maintain 90 days fuel storage base on 5.0
Million bbls/day usage, it will become a strategic reserve in and around the world;
50 million barrels storage facility would control the prices in the market place,
Governments and Refiners may consider a monthly rental agreement for such
reserves in excess of $10.0 Million plus per month;
Storage Shelf Life: Diesel Gasoline Jet-Fuel
From Refineries: 6 Months 6 Months 6 Months
From CTL Plants: 8 Years 8 Years 8 Years
Biodegradable from Standard Refineries: NO
Biodegradable from CTL Plant: YES
43
44. Other Components From Syngas Downstream Productions
The ox synthesis process is also known as hydroformylation. It involves
the reaction of CO and H2 with olefinic hydrocarbons to form an
isomeric mixture of normal and isoaldehydes.
It is an industrial synthetic route for the conversion of olefins (in the C3-
C15 range) to produce solvents, synthetic detergents, flavorings,
perfumes and other healthcare products, and other high value commodity
chemicals.
Over 2000 components can be made from these chains;
Toys made from Syngas components are free of all hazardous materials.
This is a $33.0 Billion USD per year industry.

Part of the process to remove Sulphur from Coal is through adding Oxidants/Fluxes such as
Lime or Limestone, etc. However, one of the best components for this portion of the process is
the use of sludge from waste water that we hope to be used in our plant.

62. Summary
DuTemp proposes to conduct a Front End Engineering and Design (FEED) study for Illinois
Coal,
Part of FEED study would be to gasify 1 Metric Ton of Coal in a Plasma Reactor and log all data,
Produce computer modeling for plants’ operation to verify the viability of processes and set all the
performance benchmarks,
Cost to produce the FEED study is equal to 1.5% of project’s value + $2.5 M USD,
To produce the FEED study for Illinois CTL plant’s first phase, a funding requirement of $27.0 M
is needed from the Government or others or;
To produce the FEED study for Illinois power plant’s first phase, a funding requirement of $12.0
M is needed from the Government or others ,
Duration for this study is 6 to 8 months,
This study will be conducted by DuTemp and will be re-stamped by Jacob, Fluor or Stone &
Webster,
DuTemp will reimburse this cost upon conclusion of financing. However, through support of Coal
Bond or Industrial Revenue Bonds, this fee is paid by bonds in advance or;
DuTemp is willing to assume 50% of its cost if the structure is base on JV Partnership with the
Government,
DuTemp is open to dialogue. This is just a scenario and it is not final position of DuTemp.
We request a check to DuTemp.

64. World Energy Facts
There is only one empire in World’s Energy Markets – Middle East
CTL Plants can offset this balance when it reaches the processing capacity of 150,000 plus Metric Ton
Coal per day;
Eventually the current price of Crude will tumble with these new alternative plants;
To permanently defuse OPEC influence in world energy, Investors must investor in one million
barrels per day production of CTL components;
Total fuel consumption will be over 40% Bio-Fuels by year 2020;
Upon the first implementation, the stock market will shift its financial resources toward Coal
Gasification;
We forecast the implementation of over 1.0 Million bbl/day CTL plants by the year 2015 with proper
funding that can consume 150,000 MT/day low quality Coal;
DuTemp has manufacturing capacity to reach this goal by year 2018;
Secondary manufacturing will obsolete China as a major exporter to the U.S;
Investors can offer high paying jobs and still compete with China and S. Korea manufacturers;
Investors will be able to reach the entire North America through its Hub Networks;
Investors combined in CTL projects will create up to 2.0 Million high scale manufacturing jobs by
2018 in other manufacturing sectors when it is planned correctly;
Same combined projects will create additional 6,000,000 jobs in service industry by 2018;
Region’s main income will be based on export and the health of the economy will be guaranteed until
year 2050;
CTL combined projects when all completed, will increase the Export on manufactured products by
30%.

MORE PROOF THAT COAL AIN’T CHEAP
Duke wins approval for a $3100 / kW Plant
Posted by Sean Casten at 1:54 PM on 27 Nov 2007
From E & E News ($ub req’d): Indiana has approved a $2 Billion, 630 MW integrated gasification / combined
cycle coal plant.
Two Billion divided by 630 MW = $3,174 / kW
If we assume that Coal Equity Investors expect to recover their investment over 20 years with an eleven percent
return, that works out to 5.7 cents / kWh just to pay off the capital for the power plant. Add in another 3 cents or
so for transmission and distribution, and a couple cents for fuel and operating costs, and this plant will work out to
be over 10 cents in retail prices.
This in a state where the current average retail electric rate is 6.79 cents / kWh.
So why was it approved? Simple:
“In the Midwest, Coal is plentiful and low-cost, and finding ways to burn it cleanly is fundamental to
meeting our customers’ demand for power,” Duke Energy Indiana President Jim Stanley said in a
statement. The head spins.
Excerpts of the story below the fold.
Indiana utility regulators approved Duke Energy’s proposed $2 billion coal-fired power plant equipped with
advanced pollution controls about 100 miles southwest of Indianapolis.
The Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission decision followed more than two years of planning by Duke’s Indiana
subsidiary and its predecessor, Cinergy/PSI Indiana, which was acquired by duke in May 2006.
The 630-megawatt, integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) plant, which still must obtain permits from the
Indiana Department of Environmental Management, could begin construction in Knox County early next year
with an expected startup in early 2012, Duke Officials said.
Note: Please se financial figures of $3.1 Million USD per MW power plant’s cost but recently was increased
again. 65
