3. The Company and its Objectives
Innovative Technology Systems Inc. (ITS) a Kansas, USA based company has a biodiesel
solution to fit the diverse needs of a biofuels producer from small laboratory and farm scale
units up through integrated, modular systems scalable to 150,000 MT per annum or larger.
The larger modules can be integrated with pre-treatment systems to allow utilization of bio-oils
with varying quality and composition. Utilization of a ITS pre-treatment module ensures the oil
used will produce EN14214 or ASTM D6751 specification biodiesel. The ITS biodiesel
systems are powered by electricity which reduces process emissions, simplifying the
permitting process and allowing the system to be installed and operated indoors. The ITS
biodiesel modules have a sophisticated control system that can be operated locally at the
panel or remotely in a control room or potentially at an offsite central control facility. The
control system can optionally be integrated into an existing control system at a refiners facility.
The modular fabrication reduces the time to delivery, install, and commission a biodiesel
refinery, shortening the conventional construction period from 16-20 months to 9 months from
the time of contract signing and receipt of deposit.

5. Worldwide Demand for Biodiesel
Biodiesel Emerges as a Global Industry:
The global market for biodiesel is entering a period of rapid, and transitional growth. Biofuel mandates
in Europe and the United States have created strong demand for sustainable biofuel production. In
the BRIC nations of Brazil, India and China, key government initiatives are spawning hundreds of new
opportunities for feedstock development, biodiesel production, and export. In the year 2007, there
were only 20 oil producing nations supplying the needs of over 200 nations. In 2012, more than 200
nations will become biodiesel producing nations and suppliers. The world is entering a new era of
participation by emerging market nations in global green energy production for transport fuels.
Biodiesel feedstock markets world-wide are in transition from increasingly expensive first generation
feedstock's such as soy, rapeseed and palm oil to alternative, lower cost, non-food feedstock's such
as Jatropha and Millettia. As a result, a surge in demand for alternative feedstock's is driving new
growth opportunities in the sector. Biodiesel producers who are able to source oil from their own
plantations will have a significant competitive advantage in the global marketplace.
Slide 5
6. The ITS Solution
Advanced Equipment for the Evolving Biofuels Market:
ITS has re-defined the traditional biodiesel refinery and construction methods through the
development of low cost, fast build modular refineries, which can use a sustainable supply of
feedstock’s that are not subject to the same price pressure as food grade crops.
The opportunity is to create biodiesel using sustainable and acceptable feedstock's in a low-
cost process that can be easily expanded through modular add-on expansion. The use of our
equipment will allow our clients to transition a biodiesel business away from traditional food-
grade crops such as crude palm oil, rapeseed and soy, to jatropha, Millettia Pinnata, and
Silver Leaf, through to algae and other sustainable and eco friendly future feedstock's.
Our advanced equipment and additional value-added processes will enable our clients to
develop a profitable business that will transition through the evolving biofuels industry. ITS is
on the cutting edge of biofuel technology development, and is committed to developing
solutions that create a competitive advantage.

14. Feedstock Pre-treatment Systems
ITS can provide feedstock pre-treatment systems to process a wide variety and quality of
biodiesel feedstocks. ITS offers two systems; a neutralization process for feedstocks with less
than 5% Free Fatty Acids (FFA), and an esterification process for feedstocks with FFA levels
between 5% and 50%.
The low FFA system is designed to refine crude oils with FFA levels less than 5% down to 1%
or less which is required by the transesterification process, and remove phospholipids found in
crude vegetable oils.
The neutralization process uses Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) and a proprietary liquid catalyst to
neutralize the FFA’s and remove the Phospholipids. The process produces a Soapstock
product containing the refining by-products
