N-Viro International Submits Permit Application for Pennsylvania Alternative Energy Pilot Facility

TOLEDO, Ohio, Jan. 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- N-Viro International Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: NVIC) ("N-Viro"), an environmental and materials operating company that owns patented technologies to convert various types of waste into beneficial reuse products, including the renewable biofuel N-Viro Fuel™ and, N-Viro Soil™, announces it has submitted permit applications with the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, for a pilot facility capable of producing an appropriate amount  of N-Viro Fuel™ to carry out necessary testing at various power generators.

Once approved by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, N-Viro intends to be in production of the N-Viro Fuel™ product and conduct other scheduled test burn demonstrations.  These tests will require the utilization of local supplies of biosolids from municipal wastewater treatment facilities.  The Company expects to receive permit approval and begin production during the first half of this year.

The portable pilot facility will be capable of demonstrating a full-scale production of N-Viro Fuel™.  The Company expects to make use of this pilot for several tests burn applications where N-Viro Fuel™ can be blended with coal, waste coal and even biomass types of fuel.  Additionally, this plant will further validate the N-Viro Fuel™ technology and provide valuable analytical data for future and developing projects.

Timothy Kasmoch, CEO and President of N-Viro stated: "This is a crucial step in the commercialization of N-Viro Fuel™.  Although we are referring to this as a pilot facility, it really is a small scale production unit.  The pilot and production scale facility will accommodate test demonstrations required by power generators in order to receive applicable permits for the commercialization of N-Viro Fuel™.  We plan to use this portable pilot facility in Pennsylvania and throughout the United States in support of our N-Viro Fuel development efforts."
