Agenda
> Super Boiler – TMC – AHRS progression > TMC for Boilers
─ Applications ─ Commercialization
> TMC for Non-Boilers ─ Applications ─ Markets ─ Commercialization
> Solar Cooling Developments
3
What Is The Super Boiler?
Compact Boiler Design
Advanced Heat Recovery System
(AHRS)
Ultra Low NOx
CombusCon
Includes Transport Membrane Condenser (TMC)
4 4
Final TMC Design - Boilers
> Up-flow TMC Version 2.0 ─ Modular design ─ Skid design
> Easier assembly and servicing ─ Water inside tubes with staged
downward flow ─ Space saving above boiler
mounting ─ More compact ─ Less ductwork ─ 33 HP modules
5
Operational Boiler Demonstrations
> Specification Rubber ─ >15,000 hours of operation ─ ~19% reduction in fuel cost/GHG emissions ─ ~5% reduction in feed water
> Clement Pappas ─ >10,000 hours of operation ─ ~15% reduction in fuel cost/GHG emissions ─ ~5% reduction in feed water
> Baxter TO ─ >4000 hours of operation ─ ~15% reduction in fuel cost/GHG emissions ─ ~5% reduction in feed water
> ORNL ─ 95% efficiency ─ 50% recovery of water vapor
6
Upcoming Boiler Demonstrations
> Richardson Brands Candies > Expected:
– ~94% efficiency – 40% recovery of water vapor
> China Lake > Expected:

Commercialization for Boilers
> Commercialization Agreement ─ Boiler OEM vs. Heat Recovery OEM
─ Signed in August 2009 with Cannon Boiler Works
> Exclusive for boilers
– CBW is an elite supplier
> Non exclusive for other industrial applications
– CBW is a supplier but not an elite supplier

Commercialization for Boilers
> Ultramizer • Media Campaign in trade journals with magazine ads
and electronic banner ads online
• New website landing page
• http://www.cannonboilerworks.com/ultramizer.html
• Representative on-line training tools
• Representative training in August 2010
• Live webinars
• Targeted customer lists in cooperation with area representatives
• First Ultramizer ‘Ceremonial Start’ September 9, 2010

Non-Boiler Applications
> TMC is applicable to any low grade heat application with moisture content >15% ─ Membranes can be optimized
> Water vapor recovery > Heat recovery
─ Higher moisture = Higher recovery > Up to 80% recovery of water vapor
─ Temperatures over 200 F = Use of Economizers ─ Dual TMC applications
11
Non-Boiler Applications
> Applicable Markets ─ Scrubbers (wet and dry)
> Fume > Particulate > Acidic streams
─ Drying processes > Pulp and paper > Food > Pharmaceutical > Chemicals > Dairy > Slurries > Municipal sewage
─ Humidification (res/com/ind)
─ Corrosive gas heat recovery
─ Biomass production
12 12
Existing Non-Boiler Projects
> Transport Membrane Humidifier
> Avoid water hook-up cost, mold & filter fouling/ maintenance with conventional humidifiers
> Increase furnace efficiency (~15%)
> TMC for coal fired power plants ─ Development of two-stage TMC
> Optimized H2O recovery > Optimized heat recovery
─ 80% water recovery from exhaust gases
13 13
Existing Non-Boiler Projects
> TMC for non-boiler applications ─ Funded by CEC/SCG/DOE ─ Focus on commercial applications
> Laundry or drying > No additional pressure drop on the process
─ Demo fall 2010 – L&N Costume
> Industrial energy/water recovery ─ Focus on material development for contaminated industrial
exhaust streams > Corrosive environments > Metallic substrate with ceramic membrane layer > Robust design required
─ Pilot-Scale TMC testing at GTI
14 14
Existing Non-Boiler Projects
> Low grade heat recovery ─ Focus on large scale industrial
> Use development from ORNL project > High moisture content > High particulate content and corrosive > Larger bundles are required > Robust design required
─ Domtar – partner and potential host site
> Industrial TMC development ─ Focus on industrial
> Ceramic tubes only > Contaminated waste streams > Advanced membrane for fouling resistance > Standard bundle length, up to 300HP boiler equivalent
size.
