In addition to confirming all the technical aspects, key conclusions of the Director of Engineering and Principal Scientist for EBASCO Services* from his technical and economic evaluation of our commercial pyrolysis plant in Redwood City, California are listed below: (emphasis added)

* EBASCO Services, Inc. ... a premiere engineering company in the power/industrial world and the largest Engineering/Construction company in the world at the time.

• "The problems associated with [the other systems] have convinced most experts in the urban waste disposal business that a reliable pyrolysis system is many years away." 

• He goes on to say "The obvious question then is what caused the problems with these systems and what is different about the [PES] technique which makes it ... succeed?"

• • • "... the [other systems] are complex systems developed by scientists and designed by highly sophisticated engineers ... Additionally, the scale-up from ... a demonstration plant to a full-scale commercial plant, required major design assumptions."**

** In translation, that means their complexity and unsuccessful scale-up design led to constant operational failures and massive cost overruns.

• • • "The [PES] system, ... is of an uncomplicated design. ... The design provides for 

      • • operational flexibility and 

        • easy maintenance, and is of 

        • modular concept which precludes scale-up problems ..."
