ABOUT quasar

PROJECTSCompleted or In Progress

quasar energy group:• In December 2010 quasar initiated the commissioning of its fourth

Ohio facility in Columbus. Operating facilities include:

Akron, Ohio - OperationalWooster, Ohio /OSU-OARDC – OperationalZanesville, Ohio – OperationalColumbus, Ohio – CommissioningRutland, Massachusetts – Under Construction

quasar’s operating facilities are exceeding design capacity by approximately 30% . . .


ANAEROBIC DIGESTION

Anaerobic digestion is a natural process where microorganisms break down organic waste materials (biomass) in the absence of oxygen.

Inputs:Agricultural Biomass (manure, crop waste, energy crops)Food Waste & FOG (fats, oils and grease)Municipal Waste (biosolids)

Products:Renewable Energy – Natural Gas, Electricity, Motor Vehicle Fuel (CNG)Animal Bedding, Peat Alternative, & CompostConcentrated fertilizer that can be removed from the watershed

Reduced Greenhouse Gas Emissions, Cleaner Water, & Cleaner Air

COLLABORATING with The Ohio State University


Solutions: that Address the Problem

Approaches that have been proposed react to the effect of the problem but do not provide a long term solution for the cause of the problem.

Alum Treatment: $$$$ - may temporarily diminish algae

Dredging: $$$$ - may temporarily diminish algae

Hauling Manure: $$$ - addresses the cause of the problem, but is an unaffordable perpetual expense for the agricultural community.

Anaerobic digestion is a self-funding solution that addresses one of the problems – manure mismanagement.


quasar is integrating nutrient removal technology into the anaerobic digestion process to:• Remove nitrogen and phosphorous from the system’s effluent • Concentrate these nutrients as a saleable fertilizer product that can be

shipped out of the watershed • Reduce downstream nutrient loads• Maintain agricultural productivity

Anaerobic digestion is the ONLY solution that is Self-Funding.

25

Nutrient Removal:

P artnering with the region to address the phosphorous loading problem in the Grand Lake St. Mary's watershed.



A naerobic digesters are self-funding solutions with or without grants.

Solutions: that pay for themselves

Anaerobic digesters address a problem while creating a new revenue stream for farms:

Revenue from –Renewable energy sales (energy & RECs)Tipping fees (from food processors)

Financial Savings – Solid byproduct can be used as animal bedding

With Grants –Simple Payback of 3 – 6 years

Without Grants –Simple Payback of 6 – 10 years


Sizing a Project

W hich system size fits the project?

quasar ecoFARMsystems come in 3 standard sizes: F330, F550, F825. The daily through-put and energy generation of a system will vary based on the biomass recipe.

* Note: Actual values will vary regionally. Based on an assumption of $0.075 per kWh for electric and $10.00 per MMBtu for natural gas.


Feasibility:

• Identifying regional biomass • Conducting digestion flask and pilot scale digestion studies on said biomass• Estimating the energy value of key biomass • Developing a preliminary concept/design for the system• Developing a process description and process flow diagram• Determining a construction and commissioning schedule• Creating a site layout, review permitting requirements, etc.• Guaranteeing energy estimates and outputs • Accessing buildable land

q uasar performs a Parameters and Feasibility Study (PFS) for every project. The PFS provides a detailed assessment of the project’s viability by addressing the goals & objectives outlined by the customer that typically include;
