BIOTEN Corp.

Bioten Process

Producing distributed renewable energy by converting wood mill wastes

into electricity and useable heat

2

Patented Bioten Process

The Best Biomass Technology Available: Because: It is environmentally correct It is economical in a small size It requires no process water It has no liquid discharges It is efficient for its size It is modular and moveable It is safe It is proven
