Air Pollution Control Events

Tri-Mer's Rod Gravley presented a talk on Multiphase and Multiscrub VOC Control Technology
at the International Wood Composites Symposium, March 31, 2009. The presentation included
operational reporting and test results for three 2007 projects. Rakesh Govind, Professor of
Chemical & Materials Engineering, University of Cincinnati, presented "Review of Biofiltration
as an Alternative to Thermal Oxidation, and its Implications for Climate Change" at AWMA 2009.

Rod Gravley, Technology Director for Tri-Mer Corporation, delivered a talk on MACT
compliance in the fiber and hard board industry at the International Wood Composites Symposium
in Seattle. The presentation included field test and full scale application results.

These Industry-Leading Companies Chose Tri-Mer for VOC Control

Roseburg Forest Products manufactures and markets building materials and specialty
products that include lumber, plywood, engineered wood products, decorative melamine,
MDF, particleboard and specialty panels. Roseburg chose a Tri-Mer MultiPhase Biosystem
for VOC control at its 100 million ft. capacity MDF facility in Holly Hill, SC. Read the
MultiPhase Biosystem story, published in the November, 2009 issue of Panel World,
about Roseburg's application.

Collins Lumber Corporation, a supplier of lumber, building materials, custom millwork,
wooden trusses and wall panels, chose a Tri-Mer MultiPhase Biosystem for VOC control
at its Klamath Falls, Oregon facility. Collins was the first privately-owned forest products
company in the US independently certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC).
The FSC is the only certification system endorsed by major environmental organizations,
including the World Wildlife Fund, Greenpeace, Rainforest Alliance, National Wildlife
Federation, and the Wilderness Society.

Stimson Lumber Company is one of the oldest continuously operating forest products
companies in the United States. Its Resource Group manages 500,000 acres of company-
owned timberland, consistent with the Sustainable Forestry Standards of the AFPA.
For its hardboard manufacturing facility in Forest Grove, Oregon, Stimson chose a
Tri-Mer MultiPhase BioSystem for VOC control.

Rod Gravley delivered a talk at the AWMA South Coast AQMD conference in
Montebello, CA. The title of the presentation was SO2 and Fine Particulate Removal
Using the Cloud Chamber Scrubber (CCS) and other Tri-Mer Technology.

"Heat Recovery, Air Pollution Control, and CO2 Reduction – an Integrated Approach" was the
title of a talk given by Rod J. Gravley, Tri-Mer Technology Director and Kevin D. Moss, Business
Development Director at the GMIC Energy Technology Seminar, Glass Problems Conference.

Heat recovery has often been evaluated as a stand-alone option for energy reduction. Tri-Mer
Corporation has worked with several companies to evaluate the advantages of heat recovery in
conjunction with air pollution control and CO2 reduction strategies. Heat recovery from air and
oxy fired melters was examined in terms of potential to generate steam and electricity.
In addition, the impacts to air pollution control equipment (sizing and cost) and CO2 reduction
was discussed. Data was presented that supports payback analysis as a function of site-wide
glass melting capacity and energy costs. Capital and installation costs for an integrated approach
was also presented, along with basic process integration strategies.

Rakesh Govind Ph.D delivered a talk at the Panel & Engineered Lumber International
Conference & Expo in Atlanta. The topic was New Biofiltration Technology for MACT Compliance.

Time is of the essence in complying with the air emissions regulations of the MACT standard,
Table 1B Subpart DDDD of Part 63: Add-on Control Systems Compliance Options. Fortunately,
there is a cost effective, reliable, and proven technology that combines the best of in-bed
bioscrubber and aerobic digestion with the increased removal efficiency of micron-scale mist
scrubbing. This unique technology (patent pending) is less expensive to install and less costly
to operate than older approaches. It offers high removal rates on high inlet concentrations of
VOC yet requires a relatively small equipment footprint. It creates no NOx compounds and
generates minimal waste.

The presentation described this cost-effective technology developed by Tri-Mer Corporation,
for MACT compliance in the fiber and hard board industry without the cost of a thermal oxidizer
or biofilter system.

Kevin Moss, Business Development Director, CCS Systems, was a featured speaker
at the Hotbels Glass Industry Seminar in Lexington, KY. The presentation was titled:
"Cloud Chamber Scrubber (CCS): New Glass Projects and Approaches."

New projects and applications were discussed, including PM, SOx, and NOx removal
plus heat and energy recovery options. A preview of a selected results is available at
www.tri-mer.com/ccs_case_study_glass_1.html This was the 22nd annual Hotbels seminar
and was a forum for engineering and technology progress throughout the glass industry.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A presentation titled “Cloud Chamber Technology for the Glass Industry” was given
by Kevin Moss at the Glass Problems Conference at Ohio State University in Columbus.
This is the 67th annual Glass Problems Conference and is a leading venue for the introduction of
significant new technology. The presentation covered CCS operation and performance results
for container glass ovens, fiber glass, and fiber optics production.

The Cloud Chamber Scrubber (CCS) was the featured technology in two presentations given
at the Faster Freight - Cleaner Air Conference in Long Beach, California. John Pardell, V.P. and
principal of Tri-Mer Corporation and Dr. Clyde Richards, scientist and inventor of the CCS,
were on-hand for the occasion. The presentations preceded the announcement of the excellent
results for CCS in capturing stationary diesel emissions on a full-scale demonstration project
sponsored in part by the state of California at a train yard near Sacramento.

One presentation focused on using the CCS as part of a system to remediate emissions from
locomotives during repair in high-activity train yards. The other presentation reported on current
activity regarding the use of the CCS for ships at dock that are running their diesel generators for
on-board power. Both locomotives in train yards and ships at dock are major sources of stationary
diesel emissions in California. Official test results were released by the state of California and made
available on state regulatory websites.
