1. Mine Operations Oily Water Separators

2. Who are we? ●Small high tech engineering company ●Involved in water treatment since 1983 ●Innovative new ways to treat water containing oil and grease ●Sell systems to ● USA ● UK ● Australia ● New Zealand ● Africa ● Europe

3. Clients ●Mining companies ●Oil companies ●Power authorities

4. How Does it Work? ●1000 times force of gravity ●No moving parts ●Separator requires no cleaning

5. How Does it Compare? Source: The treatment of produced water in offshore rig; Comparison between traditional installations and innovative systems; F.E. Ciarapica.

6. Types of Oil Pollution 1. Free Oil ●Free floating oil OR ●Oil droplets greater than 150 micron. ●Free oil can separate by Gravity. 2. Emulsified Oil ●Oil droplets less than 150 micron AND ●Oil droplets greater than 2 micron ●Emulsified oil must be treated with a more powerful separator. 3. Dissolved Oil ●Oil droplets less than 2 micron OR ●Physically dissolved in the water. ●Dissolved oil will NOT be treated by conventional gravity, plate pack type systems. 4. Heavy Oil ●Oil with density >1 ●Oil Stuck to heavy solids

7. & Benefits Features

8. Lowest Ownership Costs ●When making an investment you need to consider the total cost of ownership over the lifetime of your investment: ●Installation, ●Operation and ●Maintenance ●After only 5 years, Ultraspin systems can be HALF THE COST.

9. Our Experience ●~ 800 oily water treatment systems installed. ●~ 27 billion litres of water treated ~ 75 % of the yearly water usage of the City Of Sydney. ●Reclaiming about 5 billion litres of water per year.
