15. B. 5. WASTE TIRE PYROLYSIS DEMONSTRATION AT INDIAN RIVER COUNTY
LANDFILL
Director Mehta recapped the Memorandum of January 12, 2010, conveying how the
Customer Convenience Center (CCC's) and Landfill have been providing a disposal service of
waste tires for the residents of Indian River County, and how they are routinely shipped to the
Wheelabrator facility in Winter Haven, FL, at a cost of $85.00 per ton. Currently there is an
accumulation of approximately 12,000 tires, and it would cost about $15,000 to transport them.
He revealed that staff had been presented with an opportunity to demonstrate a pyrolysis unit for
waste tires at the Landfill Facility; the joint venture would be with E Fuels, LLC, and Preservation
Energy, LLC; would be at no cost to the Solid Waste Disposal District; and noted that the
demonstration would consume the existing inventory as well as all incoming tires over the next six
to nine months. He felt this would not only be an opportunity to handle the current inventory, but
to view the technology.
There was a brief discussion as to why Indian River County was chosen to demonstrate the
technology, whether the Disposal Fee would be eliminated if this technology would go
nationwide, and the production of char -ash.
Jim Jackson, Managing Member of Preservation Energy, LLC, disclosed that this was not
a new technology, and that consideration had been given to taking this nationwide, and eventually
international.

Carl St. Cin, Engineer and Managing Member of Preservation Energy, LLC, clarified that
the char is 20% to 30% of the volume of weight of material coming into the process. He said that
if the material cannot go to market, then consideration would be given to putting it into the landfill,
but only after it was tested and the customary disposal fees paid.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Davis, SECONDED by
Commissioner Flescher, the Board unanimously approved
and authorized the Chairman to execute the Agreement
with the Joint Venture (JV) between E Fuels, LLC and
Preservation Energy, LLC. This includes a demonstration
of the Waste Tire Pyrolysis technology at the Indian River
County Landfill for a period of six to nine months. A
Notice to Proceed on the project will only be issued upon
submittal of the necessary insurances, bond/letter of credit,
and environmental permits for review and approval by the
County Attorney and staff, all as recommended in the
memorandum of January 12, 2010.
