Atlantium Advantage… Red Herring’s List: “Companies Driving the Future of Technology” 3

Water Disinfection Technologies Today Advantages Issues Chlorination Disinfection by-products; Taste in food; Relatively cheap; Ineffective against Cryptosporidium & Giardia; Widely used and Creates issues for downstream processing - accepted membranes Ozonation Effective; Disinfection by-products (Bromates); Hard to Accepted for some control with water quality flux; Difficult working industries environment; Lots of hidden costs Membranes Reliable; Wide acceptance Heat exchange Reliable; (pasteurization) Wide acceptance Conventional UV Environmentally Friendly; Acceptable Expensive to buy & operate; Stops microbes only above certain threshold; Sensitive to chlorine; Backwash treatment and bio-films breed hidden costs over time Extremely high operational & maintenance costs Microbial Kill 1 -3 log range; Deposits & fouling of quartz sleeves; High maintenance; Questionable reliability; Issues with monitoring and control 4

What is the big news about HOD? n Great solutions are simple solutions n Conceptual change in conventional thinking… “Water inside the Light” “Light inside the Water” 5

Conventional UV Many Lamps; Non-Uniform Light Distribution Microbial Escape Routes 6

HOD Technology Principle “The liquid wave guide” Same principle as in optical fibers: “Total Internal Reflection” No microbial escape routes No lamp fouling due to scale from heat No mechanical cleaners to jam & maintain No mercury in the water from broken lamps 7

HOD’s Out-of-the-Box Design 1 Out-of-the-water light sources 2 Air cooled dry chamber 3 Dual sensor configuration for accurate monitoring 4 Central quartz chamber traps light photons 1 1 4 2 3 3 Light beams represent how the fiber optic Total Internal Reflection principle works 9
