Presentation Outline
• Introduction to FASC and the KDS
Micronex™ Technology
• Processing Results for Different
Materials
• Biomass Power Plant Concept
• Summary
About First American
• Founded in 1995, First American
Scientific Corporation (FASC) is a leading
equipment manufacturer and provider of
innovative systems that increase
profitability and reduce the
environmental impact of materials
processing.
• The KDS Micronex™, FASC’s patented
grinder-dryer, efficiently and
economically processes a wide variety of
raw materials and wastes into fine, dry
powders.
Introduction to the
KDS Micronex™ Technology
• KDS stands for Kinetic
Disintegration System. The KDS
Micronex™ is an high volume
grinder that dries WITHOUT
needing any heat input.
• No heat is needed because the
forces causing size reduction also
dry the material.
• KDS Technology uses LESS total
energy than conventional drying
and grinding combined.
Benefits of the KDS Micronex™
KDS Micronex™ customers benefit by:
• Simplifying on-site grinding and drying
operations into a single compact, and
easy-to-operate system that has low
initial and operating costs
• Creating high-quality, dry, virtually
pathogen-free powders that have value
as industrial feedstocks, fuels, fertilizers
and animal feeds.
• Reducing disposal and handling costs of
and long-term liability from materials
that were previously non-recyclable

The KDS MICRONEXTM Process Flow
Raw material is dropped
into the throat of the mill
The KDS MICRONEXTM Process Flow
An air-lock gate reduces dust
and eliminates blow-back
The KDS MICRONEXTM Process Flow
Material moves to the Torus
and is subjected to repeated
violent collisions with the
spinning rotor and strike plates
The KDS MICRONEXTM Process Flow
 Material is fractured and
pathogen destruction occurs
 Water vapor and water
droplets are released during
the fracturing process

Cyclone
The classifier allows finished
product to pass through to the
cyclone and forces oversize
particles to be reprocessed

Biomass Power Plant Design
Using KDS Micronex™
to produce fuel
Biomass Power Plant: KDS is part of the
Total Solution – KDS as Fuel-Maker
• Electricity produced from Biomass
fueled power plants helps reduce
global warming.
• Biomass Power Plants are
becoming increasingly popular as a
way to reduce Greenhouse Gas
Emissions.
• About 1000 Wood-fired power
plants in the U.S in the 10 - 25 MW
range.
Biomass Power Plant: KDS is part of the
Total Solution – KDS as Fuel-Maker
• KDS is an excellent fuel-maker for
biomass power plants.
• KDS can make dry, pulverized
biomass for fuelling suspension
burners, very economically.
• First American's joint venture AGES
has quoted a power plant in
California burning horse manure mix.
