Electrochemical and UF Treatment:

Recycle Oil & Gas Wastewater for Crop Irrigation

1

• OriginClear Inc. founded in 2007: a pure technology company.

• Went public in 2008 on OTC Bulletin Board.

• Developed and proved a breakthrough high-speed water

cleanup technology, Electro Water Separation™ with

Advanced Oxidation (EWS:AOx™).

• In 2015, began to…

– Commercialize the technology: OriginClear Technologies

– Consolidate water services companies: OriginClear Group

• EWS:AOx scaled and proven.

• Expert team pursuing partnerships worldwide.

• Active in Asia, Europe, US:

• OriginClear Technologies Ltd., Asian subsidiary established,

commercial status

• Active opportunities in Europe

• Malaysian JV now operational

• Strategic discussions with majors in Bakersfield area.

• “Sour well” remediation being proven in Texas

2016: Technology Status

• EWS:AOx™ is a technology train for cleaning polluted water.

– Originally designed for extracting algae from water

– Then applied to recovering oil from produced water and

• 2016: Advanced Oxidation (AOx) added as a final stage,

addresses complex pollutants.

• EWS is modular: It can be incorporated into an existing waste

treatment system or designed as a stand alone equipment.

What is EWS:AOx™

3© 2016 OriginClear Technologies, Inc.

• Selected and specifically designed MMO anodes are a core specificity of EWS. Theyare used as Oxidizers both in the generation of H2O2 (ROS) as well as chlorinespecies in the Advanced Oxidation Process and in the generation of gas bubbles forElectro-Flotation.

– HF Reactors (right) for gas separation and oxidation

– ECR Reactors (below) for mixing and enhanced contact

Key Elements in the EWS system

• Effective on:

– Suspended Solids

– Oil and Grease (petroleum

hydrocarbons)

– Ammonia

– Dissolved Organics

EWS:AOx™ Applications

• Scalable technology: from table-top lab units to existing large

infrastructure retrofits.
