BACKGROUND In 2005, the management team of Heartland Technology Partners, LLC (Heartland) saw opportunity for developing an evaporative process for on-site landfill leachate treatment that would overcome shortcomings of existing processes. Although evaporation technology based on landfill gas as the principal energy source had built a record of technical success since 1991, only about two dozen projects had been developed worldwide through 2005. Limited acceptance of first generation leachate evaporation technology was primarily due to two factors: 1. Costs were generally not competitive with other available options, particularly sewage treatment plants 2. Evaporative processes competed with other technologies for use of available landfill gas and were not compatible with power generation, the most frequently applied commercial use for landfill gas LM-HTTM Leachate Concentrators that eliminate these significant shortcomings are the result of Heartlands acceptance of the challenge to expand the market for landfill leachate treatment systems.

FEATURES OF HEARTLANDS LM-HTTM CONCENTRATOR TECHNOLOGY Highly competitive with costs of other leachate treatment options leading to the lowest cost solution based on favorable capital, operating and maintenance costs Flex-EnergyTM 1 technology allows operation on most any waste heat source, or combinations of waste heat sources, including landfill gas flares and stack gas from power plant engines

LM-HTTM Concentrators may be readily converted from one or more waste heat sources to others a feature that allows the process to operate throughout the life cycle of a landfill and into the post-closure period

PROVEN PERFORMANCE Liberty Landfill Demonstration Project From the first week of July through mid-October 2009, a 500 barrel per day (bbl/day) capacity LM-HTTM Concentrator was run on each of: 1) landfill leachate and 2) produced water from a natural gas well. Performance was demonstrated using waste heat from a conventional enclosed landfill gas flare and, in the case of leachate, waste heat from the stack of an engine within a landfill gas fueled power plant. This highly successful project was run at a host site, Liberty Landfill, which is owned by Waste Management of Indiana and located in Buffalo, Indiana. The Liberty Landfill demonstration program confirmed the tremendous advantages of LM-HTTM Concentrators over conventional evaporators. The compact low momentum - high turbulence features yield outstanding performance while operating continuously over a wide range of feed characteristics producing residual at high levels of total solids. Results show that for typical leachate feed that is between 1,000 and 10,000 milligrams per liter (0.1% to 1.0%) total solids, the volume of concentrate produced in the process is less than 3% of the feed volume; i.e., 10,000 bb of feed would yield less than 300 bbl of concentrate.

Operation on Waste Heat from Landfill Gas Power Plant When connected to the stack of a Caterpillar G3516 LE engine within Wabash Valley Power Cooperatives power plant at Liberty Landfill, 185 bbl/day capacity per megawatt of power generated was confirmed. Thus, a 4-engine power plant in this configuration could be used as the principal energy source for a 600 bbl/day leachate evaporation system. Where turbines are employed, evaporative capacity will be significantly greater on a per-megawatt basis.

Relocation activities in which the demonstration concentrator was moved from Heartlands flare location to the power plant and back to the flare are noteworthy in terms of confirming the portable features of the design including ease of installation and startup. For instance, from shutdown at the power plant it took only 5 hours to disconnect, load, transport, unload, reinstall and restart the concentrator at the flare location.

Treatment of Produced Water from Gas Fields Beyond highly successful results on leachate, the performance of the process on produced water feed at 26% total solids clearly punctuates the attributes of Heartlands simple, reliable and effective process. For example, consider that this feed stream was continually concentrated to 60+% total solids. In contrast, there are no known conventional evaporative processes that could operate continuously in the range of 26 to 60% solids. Indeed, in this instance the feed concentration would be close to the limits for conventional evaporative processes, which, if they could be applied at all, would require the addition of other unit operations such as a crystallizer operating in series with the evaporator to attain 60+% total solids.

In summary, the demonstration program at Liberty Landfill confirmed that all performance criteria that were established as goals in Heartlands development program were met or exceeded. Likewise, the components selected for use in the simple, reliable and cost-effective design operated flawlessly.

COMMERCIALIZATION OF LM-HTTM CONCENTRATOR TECHNOLOGY The success of the Liberty Landfill demonstration project has translated into a series of opportunities for the technology in both leachate and produced water treatment markets that focus on the unique attributes of the concentration process. As one example, a 500 bbl/day LM-HTTM Concentrator system has been sold for use at South Canyon Landfill in Glenwood Springs, Colorado. This system, for which permit approval is expected during spring of 2010, will use stack gas from a wood burner as the principal energy source to affect evaporation. C&D wood and yard waste delivered to the landfill will be sorted and ground as fuel. This project, based on yet another renewable fuel source, clearly demonstrates the versatility of Heartlands proprietary technology. In addition, a series of leachate treatment projects based on waste heat from flares, turbine and engine stacks are also under negotiation. In a strong and exciting thrust into produced water markets, Heartland will be moving the Liberty Demonstration Concentrator to RN Industries (RNIs) Piceance Creek produced water management facility in Rio Blanco County, Colorado. With this permit already in place, the concentrator will be relocated, installed and immediately put into service this winter treating produced water from two of Americas largest energy companies. Because this 500 bbl/day capacity unit is small compared to the volumes to be managed in the produced water treatment market, Heartland is commissioning design and construction of a 1,000 bbl/day (42,000 gpd) unit to replace it at this site as soon as fabrication is completed. In the meantime, the smaller unit will be used to demonstrate Heartlands, RNIs and possibly other allied companies technologies for: 1) recovering clean water for reuse in gas field operations; 2) recovering products for sale to gas field developers and operators; and 3) obtaining data for operating mono-fill landfills dedicated to disposal of solid residuals produced in the LM-HTTM Concentration Process. Parallel with development of the system at RNIs facility in Colorado, Heartland will also develop a 6,000 bbl/day (252,000 gpd) project with Waste Management, Inc at a landfill in Pennsylvania. Receipt of the permit for this landfill to receive solids generated by treatment of produced water in Heartlands process is expected this spring. Further, Heartland will develop another project in Pennsylvania at a gas well site owned by a major energy company. Heat energy for these systems can be any available combination of natural gas, waste heat from natural gas compressor plants and/or renewable fuels such as wood waste. Heartland is proud of the outstanding performance of our proprietary concentrator systems when managing extremely high total solids concentrations in produced water feed streams. We believe that it speaks well of our ability to manage landfill leachate, which, in comparison, is relatively simple to process. We also recognize that our solid waste customers might have interest in developing mono-fill landfills dedicated to disposal of solids generated in Heartlands produced water concentration systems.

Heartlands next scale-up decision beyond the 6,000 bbl/day unit is whether to build single larger units or gang a number of smaller modular units to achieve 25,000 bbl/day (1,050,000 gpd) capacity, which is typical of capacity required to serve the produced water market. The target is to have at least one 25, 000 bbl/day unit operating commercially in 2011. To put this in perspective in regard to sizing mono-fill landfills to serve this market, a conservative low-side estimate is that a single 25,000 barrels per day produced water LM-HTTM Concentrator facility would generate about 850 to 900 tons/day of solids. For Solid Waste Management Companies, whether your interest is purchasing LM-HTTM Concentrators for treating landfill leachate, or in developing mono-fill landfills to host or support Heartland owned and operated produced water projects, we look forward to opportunities to work with you. As always, your interest in our technology and services is greatly appreciated. For additional information, please contact:
