1.00 Introduction
2B Green BioEnergy Corporation (2B Green) has retained E3 Energy Partners LLC to prepare a
Comprehensive Technology and Project Plan for a proposed biodiesel production facility to be
located in the Port of Dalhousie, New Brunswick.
The 2B Green biodiesel plant will have a capacity of 70 million litres per year. The plant
capacity will be built out in modules of 100,000 litres per day, or approximately 35 million litres
per year, and can be expanded beyond 70 million litres per year if markets warrant. The plant
will be located in a new 9,200 square meter building to be constructed by the Port of Dalhousie.
2B Green will occupy approximately a quarter (2,540 m2) of the building with the remainder of
the building to be available for other tenants. Storage tanks will be constructed inside
containment berms to the north and west of the building. Loading terminals for biodiesel
product and raw materials will be installed for truck, rail and ship.
This Comprehensive Technology & Project Plan has been prepared in support of 2B Green’s
efforts to develop this project.

Comprehensive Technology & Project Plan Page 2-1
The plant will have access to rail, truck and ship transportation for receiving of raw materials and
shipping of finished product. Storage tanks constructed at the plant site will provide capacity for
4 million litres of raw oil feedstock, 4 million litres of biodiesel, 0.75 million litres of glycerin,
1.0 million litres of methanol and 300,000 litres of catalyst. Plant utilities will include boilers,
chillers, compressed air and a nitrogen generation system. Power, water and sewer will be from
existing services adjacent to the project site.
The cost for this project, through all phases is estimated at $36.9 million.
3.01 Process
3.01.01 Introduction
The proposed project is a new biodiesel production facility owned by 2B Green
BioEnergy and scheduled to be constructed in the Port of Dalhousie, New Brunswick.
The projected final production capacity of biodiesel is 70 million litres per year
(MMLPY) from various feedstocks, including beef tallow and choice white grease.
The E3 FullSpectrum Biodiesel processor is built for batch processing with an advanced
processing technique for maximum range in raw material and maximum yield. This
means that the processor is very flexible and can handle any raw material that contains
fatty acids such as ordinary vegetable oils but also crude palm oil, used cooking oil
(UCO, WCO), animal fat and fish oil with a Free Fatty Acids (FFA) content up to 12%.
A high level of automation allows the operator to easily switch from one raw material to
another by changing processing recipes. The processor can operate both as a stand alone
unit or in conjunction with a large number of other units.
The processor is delivered with a performance guarantee specifying quantity and quality
which guarantees that the biodiesel produced will meet ASTM D6751 or EN 14214
standards as long as the raw material specifications and operating instructions are
followed.

Comprehensive Technology & Project Plan Page 3-3
R1, R2, R3 represent the carbon chain of free fatty acids. Theoretically, 1 part of
triglycerides needs 3 parts of methanol to make 3 parts of biodiesel and 1 part of glycerol.
The reaction temperature needs to be controlled to around 70-80 ºC. A higher
temperature increases the reaction rate to make biodiesel faster, but it also increases the
possibility of side reactions which leads to low biodiesel yield and quality.
The produced glycerin is a heavier liquid and it settles out from the biodiesel after the
reaction is completed. Biodiesel can then be obtained by separating glycerin by draining
or other separation methods, such as centrifuging.
The raw oil should be water-free or at very low water levels, since hydrolysis reactions
may occur along with transesterification reaction. Hydrolysis will turn the glycerides
into free fatty acids which will react with and consume the alkaline catalyst added into
the reaction. This side effect not only reduces the catalyst activation, but also forms
soaps which cause many problems in the biodiesel process.
The Process Design Criteria that is the basis for this Project Plan is included as
Attachment 7.02.
Raw oil is normally delivered in bulk to the site by tanker truck or rail car and
stored in dedicated storage tanks in the tank farm. The feedstock will be
automatically transferred from the storage tanks to the processors through a
charge pump controlled by the operator.
Biodiesel Product
The biodiesel product is normally stored in dedicated storage tanks and collected
in bulk by tanker trucks or rail cars. Transfer of product from the process to
storage, and from storage to collection vehicles, will be through dedicated loading
systems. The system totalizes the flow of the biodiesel and provides overfill and
grounding protection for the truck or rail car.
Methanol
Fresh methanol is normally delivered in bulk to the site by tanker truck and stored
in a dedicated storage tank. A dedicated grounding monitoring system protects
the unload system and truck, and redundant level monitoring systems prevent tank
overfill. The methanol transfer from storage tanks to processors is a sealed
system automated by the processor control system.

Comprehensive Technology & Project Plan Page 3-4
Crude Glycerin
The crude glycerin is normally stored in a dedicated tank and collected in bulk by
tanker trucks. Transfer of crude glycerin from the processor to storage, and from
storage to collection vehicles, will be through over-ground process piping.
Sodium Methylate
Sodium methylate used in the process is typically sodium methoxides dissolved in
methanol. The methylate is purchased from chemical suppliers and normally
delivered in bulk by tanker trucks.with a concentration around 30%. Delivery of
methylate from tank to processors is automated via over-ground piping.
Additives
Additives generally include antioxidants and wintering agents. Addition of
antioxidants increases the biodiesel stability for relatively long-term storage.
Wintering agents typically reduce the cloud point of biodiesel and increase its
cold flow properties.
Additives are purchased from available fuel additives suppliers usually pre-
dissolved in biodiesel. Onsite preparation of high concentration additives is
another option by adding the additives into biodiesel with a set ratio.
Wastes
The waste products from the biodiesel production will be spent filter media,
which will need to be changed every 3-5 weeks. Waste will be contained in
dedicated storage equipment and transported by road vehicles for disposal off-site
at a certified facility.
Further information about the material handling and storage is given in Attachment 7.02
design criteria.
Energy consumption values based on one metric ton of biodiesel produced are shown
below:
Details for the energy balance are shown on the Mass/Energy Balance (Attachment 7.04)
and on the design criteria included as Attachment 7.02.
The site is bounded to the north by containment disposal cells used to contain dredged materials
from the port; to the south across the rail tracks and William Street to the town property. To the
east is the lagoon that separates this peninsula from the lands that had been occupied by the pulp
and paper mill and to the west are the waters of the Bay of Chaleur.
Development of the project site will require cutting and grading of approximately 10,000 cubic
meters of soil, all of which will be reused as fill on the project site. Approximately 10,000 cubic
meters of clean engineered fill will be brought onto the site for stabilizing and leveling of the
developed project area. Development of the project site will primarily be the responsibility of
the Port of Dalhousie.
The plant area will be graded such that the land rises slightly at the lot boundaries and all rainfall
on the property will be collected and treated prior to discharge. The plant yard and tank farm
will be paved with concrete suitable for the truck traffic anticipated.
Rainfall on the site will be collected and treated appropriately prior to discharge. Rain falling on
the building and collected in downspouts will be discharged directly to a stormwater outfall to
the north of the property in the drainage basis on this property. Rainwater falling on the truck
traffic area will be collected and passed through an oil / water separator prior to discharge into a
bioswale to the north. Water falling on the truck and railcar loading areas will be collected in an
underground vault which will be pumped out upon confirmation that the contents are not

Comprehensive Technology & Project Plan Page 3-6
contaminated. Water falling onto the tank farm area will collect in dry sumps which will be
pumped out to the bioswale outfall upon confirmation that the contents are not contaminated.
The access road to the plant will tie into existing streets at the southeast corner, which is the
intersection of William and George Streets. Rail car access will be provided by installing a
switch on the track just to the east of the road intersection, and running a spur along the southern
edge of the plant to the tank farm. Ship and barge access will be through an underground
pipeline to a loading facility on the West Wharf.
The plant site will be fenced with an automated gate. Security cameras and communication
equipment to secure the site will be installed.
Utilities will be obtained from the various agencies serving the area. Electrical power will be
obtained from the local utility who will install their plant transformer at the site boundary. Water
for fire suppression and potable uses is available at the southeastern boundry of the site. Sanitary
sewage will tie in to existing sanitary conveyance lines.
The 2B Green portion of the building will house the process equipment, offices, laboratory and
control systems. Two tank farm areas will be constructed, one to the north of the building for
day tanks and methanol storage, and the other to the west for the main storage tanks. Truck
loading and unloading equipment will be installed between the west tank farm and the building.
Rail loading/unloading equipment will be installed on the new rail spur at the south end of the
west tank farm.
The process building to be constructed is generally 61 by 150.8 meters and will be approximately
13 meters high at the roof peak. The eave height of the building will be 7.62 meters. This
building will be a metal clad, steel frame building. The building will be designed to meet all
aspects of Canada’s National Building Code. The building will have roll-up doors on all sides
for installation of the equipment and movement of service materials.
Inside the building, about 80% of the 2B Green floor space will be an open area for installation
of the process equipment. In this area, the FullSpectrum Processors will be installed along with
some of the auxiliary process equipment.
The west bay of the building will have a two story office, control room, electrical room and
utility area constructed within the main shell. On the ground floor, this bay will have an area
devoted to the storage of hazardous materials in totes, an area for installation of process utilities
including the plant air compressor, process boiler, chillers and nitrogen supply system, an
electrical room for process electrical equipment and a rest room. On its second floor, spaces will
be built to house the plant office, the process control room and laboratory. Space will also be
provided for parts and maintenance equipment storage.
The tank farm for the plant will be built along the north and west sides of the site. The west tank
farm will consist of two feedstock tanks, two biodiesel tanks and one glycerin storage tank. The
north tank farm will contain a methanol tank, a catalyst tank, two biodiesel holding tanks, and
two process vessels. The tank farm area will include space for future day tanks and a future
spent methanol tank. All tanks will be installed on a concrete foundation designed for the lateral
loads appropriate to the port area.
The tank farm area will include secondary containment for all tanks. The secondary containment
will be divided into two sections, one to protect the biodiesel and feed stock tanks and one to
contain the methanol and catalyst tanks.
The main containment area will be surrounded by a wall one meter high with sufficient volume
to contain the largest tank plus a 24 hour 100-year rainfall event. The methanol containment

area will be surrounded by a wall 1.5 meters high. The containment structure meets the
requirements of Environment Canada for spill protection.
Equipment for unloading trucks delivering bulk feedstock and methanol shipments to the site and
for loading bulk trucks with biodiesel and raw glycerin will be installed west of the building. A
loading rack with a top loading arm including a platform, gangway and safety cage will be
installed for loading biodiesel. Additionally, the electrical transformer will be installed outside.
3.04 Environmental
In accordance with the requirements of the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act, 2B Green
has contracted CBCL Limited to prepare an environmental screening for the proposed project.
The Project Description, as the first step in this process, is provided as a component part of the
submission to NRCan. Given the industrial context of the site and the information that is
available from recent environmental work undertaken in the area, the identified site appears to be
an entirely suitable location for the development and operation of the project. No significant
environmental impacts are anticipated. 2B Green will therefore be submitting both the
environmental screening federally and the environmental registration documentation provincially
pursuant to the New Brunswick Clean Environment Act to the pertinent authorities in a matter of
weeks.
Following release from the federal and provincial environmental assessment processes, 2B Green
will seek the required approvals to develop and operate the proposed plant under the New
Brunswick Clean Environment Act and the New Brunswick Clean Air Act. At the same time 2B
Green will develop and detail an Environmental Management Plan that will include an
Environmental Protection Plan for both construction and operation, a management plan for the
handling of hazardous materials, a spill protection plan, a groundwater contamination testing and
management plan and a contingency plan.

3.06.01 Electricity
Electricity is consumed by the E3 FullSpectrum biodiesel processor to power the motors
on the process pumps, process instrumentation and compressors, and at the tank farm to
power the motors on the loading and unloading pumps and instrumentation.
3.06.02 Nitrogen
Nitrogen gas is consumed by the tank farm vessels to provide blanket gas for safety and
to supply vapor dilution for methanol removal from biodiesel in the process.
Typical nitrogen consumption is about 113 LPM at 6.2 bar. Based on continuous
operation at 24 hours a day and 350 days a year, the yearly nitrogen consumption requires
57,053 m³/yr, roughly 421,336 kg/yr. If liquid nitrogen is purchased, the liquid nitrogen
volume requires 521,456 litres/year.
Typical energy requirement for the boiler and tank farm warming of a single
FullSpectrum processor system is listed below.
Either on-site produced biodiesel or purchased No. 2 diesel could be used for the boiler
fuel. Typical energy density of No.2 Diesel fuel and biodiesel fuel are around 33.2 and
31.9 MJ/kg, respectively. If the heat efficiency of boiler is 80%, the average boiler fuel
consumptions to each heating purpose for a single processor are:
The table above is fairly typical for staffing for a plant of this type. This level of staffing will
provide 15 people working during a normal day shift and 4 people working evening, graveyard
and swing shifts, for a total of 27 employees.
During commissioning, start-up and plant outages additional labor should be planned on from
engineering and contract resources.

E3 FullSpectrum™ Biodiesel Process
The E3 FullSpectrum™ biodiesel process is a batch process designed for maximum flexibility in
processing a wide variety of oils and fats into biodiesel. The process is developed around modular units
of 100,000 liters per day that can be paralleled to provide a variety of plant sizes and configurations.
The process can be customized with a variety of pre-treatment and purification options that allow
acceptance of low quality oils with the capability to process them into high quality biodiesel with
relatively high yields.
Options:
Degumming, drying & filtering feedstock oils & fats
Feedstock pretreatment from 0 to12% and / or 12% to 100% FFA
Integrated FOG rendering (trap to brown grease)
Advanced purification via distillation
Basic Plant

Basic Plant Process Details:
Oil Pre-Treatment Oil is treated to reduce free fatty acids, dried to remove water, and filtered to
remove solids. Acid esterification is used for FFA below 12%, and glycerol
esterification is used for FFA levels from 12 to 100%.
Transesterification The pre-treated oil is processed in a single stage batch reactor, using high-
shear mixing. The use of high shear mixers allows for a faster initial reaction
rate, and quicker separation of glycerol. The process also allows for re-
treatment of off-spec product, and recycling of glycerol for catalyst use
reduction.
