17 <br /> APPLICATION <br /> The ash from typical wood waste is a very useful soil additive, and as such offers a <br /> commodity that can be marketed to plant nurseries, farms, etc. as a potting soil additive. <br /> This beneficial reuse aspect of the residual ash may be important to the overall <br /> profitability of the Air Burners System in certain applications. Recycling our resources is <br /> not only socially and politically imperative, but it often reaps the additional benefit of tax <br /> incentives or tax credits. Solid waste landfills are diminishing rapidly, and permits are <br /> difficult to secure for new sites. The Air Burners System provides an affordable and <br /> environmentally sound alternative to indiscriminate depositing of wood debris into <br /> landfills. <br /> In the past, diseased animal carcasses were usually buried and forgotten. Little was <br /> known about the agents that caused the deadly diseases, which have wiped out many <br /> herds of cattle and entire chicken farms. What is important to understand is that certain <br /> pathogens have been known to survive over fifty years in the soil where they have been <br /> buried along with animal carcasses that perished from the disease. The only known <br /> practical approach to the elimination of diseased carcasses is high temperature <br /> incineration. Air Burners Air Curtain Systems are ideally suited for this task and have <br /> repeatedly been employed for that purpose with the approval of the US, Canadian and <br /> certain foreign authorities. <br /> Air Burners' systems are the preferred on-site disposal devices for animals affected with <br /> such diseases as BSE, CWD, Foot & Mouth Disease (FMD), Sheep Scrapie, Anthrax, <br /> Ebola, etc. The residual ash resulting from the incineration process, which destroys all <br /> teeth and bones as well, is a safe ash material that can usually be applied to the land, <br /> as it has been fully sterilized by the extreme temperatures applied. It is understood that <br /> the prions which are believed to cause BSE or CWD are fully destroyed as well by virtue <br /> of the high firebox temperatures. The mobility of our systems permits their placement at <br /> the location designated for animal euthanasia, or at the slaughterhouse, thereby <br /> avoiding the over-the-road transport of diseased animals to fixed incineration facilities. <br /> Air Burners, LLC Brochure, Pages 4 & 5, Jan 2002 <br />
