2 CAMBI IN BRIEF Developed from 1989 Treats municipal and industrial biosolids and biowaste prior to anaerobic digestion. 31 plants for > 25 mill. people/ mt dry solids/year 1700 GWh/y of renewable biogas capacity Green energy replaces tonnes of fossile CO2 emissions yearly 80 employees Plants in 14 countries worldwide Turnover 2012: abt. 400 mill. NOK

3 CAMBI S BUSINESS AREAS Biosolids: Plants for enhanced biogas production from municipal & industrial sludge Biowaste: Plants for biogas fertilizer from source-separated organic waste Biorenewables: Biogas production from organic residues Ligno-cellulosic biomass pre-treatment for bio-ethanol & biogas Operations: Cambi Operations provides support and operation services to maximize plant performance

4 Cambi Integrated Municipal Sludge Treatment Typical WWTP Typical Cambi scope for this area

5 ADVANTAGES BY CAMBI THERMAL HYDROLYSIS

6 Cambi Plant Locations

7 CAMBI R&D Projects Universities Ensure flow of new ideas New products and services Continous improvements IP

8 THERMAL HYDROLYSIS Proven by International R&D Independent R&D proving Thermal Hydrolysis to be Best Available Technology (BAT) for AD: UMB Univ. Norway SLU, Sweden Univ. of Valladolid, Spain Braunschweig Univ., Germany Virginia Tech, USA Tohuko Univ., Japan Tsinghua and Tianjin Univ., China Pontifical Catholic Univ. of Valparaiso, Chile Various pilots around the world Cambi Pilot Plant, San Francisco

10 Hvordan har vi industrialisert? 1. Lab. forsøk 2. Pilot anlegg 3. Demonstrasjonsanlegg 4. Markedsutvikling 5. Prosjektutvikling 6. Industrialisering og standardisering

11 Hvordan har FoU vært en del av utviklingen? 1. Første pilot anlegg var helt mislykket 2. En litteratur studie satte oss på rett spor igjen 3. Tidlig FoU preget av eksperimentering 4. I moden alder er FoU systematisk

12 Hva skal til for at forskning blir næring? 1. Virkemidler til alle ledd i utviklingskjeden 2. Mindre opphengt i tema forskning 3. Teknologi nøytralitet 4. Markedsanalyser? Behov?

13 Hva slags forskning blir næring? 1. Systematisk forskning viktigere dess større vi ble 2. Måtte dokumentere 3. Måtte forstå det naturvitenskapelige grunnlaget 4. Tilstrekkelig oppfinnerhøyde IP strategi 5. Nært samarbeid mellom drift og FoU (dynamitt)

14 Standardization B2 in coming alive!

15 B2 Interface Points: Electrical Feed Sludge Feed Steam Feed Condensate outlet Foul gas outlet Final Effluent Feed 2 Digester Feed outlets Vessel Drains 3rd Digester Feed outlet (optional)

16 B6x3

17 B12x4

18 DAVYHULME, UK Cambi THP B12-4x5 reactors 8 x 7500 m3 digesters

19 CAMBI XXL: Washington DC Original design: 9 egg-shaped digesters, 600 million US$, cancelled Final concept: Cambi + 4 cylindrical digesters, <400 million US$, under construction

20 R&D AND DUE DILIGENCE HAS BEEN EXTENSIVE Decade of anaerobic digestionfocused research under leadership of Dr. Sudhir Murthy, DC Water Included testing of TH/digestion process and many other digestion process options Virginia Tech primary role (Novak-Wilson). Besides digestion, considerable dewatering and related research activities Work includes overseas testing at Cambidigestion plants, and the products at those plants 20

23 Cambi erfaringer. Be persistent and don t give up Avoid financial (short-term) investors too early. Patient and knowledgable owners are required Give papers at conferences Work with universities and research institutions Do not leave your customer/project until successful Earn a good reputation Do what you say BE LUCKY.
