1 Managing Tactical Water Purification Waste Streams TerraGroup Corporation

2 Purpose To outline and provide information on the design, advantages and capabilities of the MMFFS TM 3000 system with respect to multiple support situations.

3 Presentation Outline Background Problem Regulatory Drivers Case Study: U.S. Army Forces Command MMFFS Advantages & Capabilities Treatment Technologies & Schematic Performance Data Summary

4 Background Military field operations require water for multiple needs Two current Reverse Osmosis Water Purification Units (ROWPU) in service: 3000 GPH and 600 GPH ROWPU Operation and maintenance procedures generate 4 types of wastewater: RO reject RO backwash ROM Cleaning Waste Chlorinated Product Water

Gallon Per Hour Reverse Osmosis Water Purification Unit (ROWPU)

6 600 Gallon Per Hour Reverse Osmosis Water Purification Unit (ROWPU)

7 The Problem…... Training exercises produce waste materials. EPA regulations prohibit raw discharge of waste. Discharge regulations impact training and readiness Mission critical assets diverted for this purpose Affected budgets supporting involved logistics FORSCOM identified Permitting issues impacting training and readiness in 1996

8 …one current solution

9..and an even worse solution

10 Regulatory Drivers US EPA: –40 CFR –Discharge permits are required –Environmentally Sensitive areas Individual States: –Different Interpretations –Effluent parameters & concentrations differ –Source Water Conditions

11 U.S. Army Forces Command Goals Education & Communication Between ROWPU Units and installations Between Installation permit writers and States Identify Regulatory Concerns Pursue permits where needed Pursue technology-equipment fix where needed

12 U.S. Army Forces Command MMFFS Program Work with installations and states to ensure ROWPU operations meet regulations Allow by the manual training thereby maintaining readiness Reduce operational costs and return equipment to its original purpose Implement or adapt commercially available technology and solutions MMFFS 3000 in transport configuration in an M /2 ton Trailer.

13 FORSCOM Solution = MMFFS MMFFS meets all FORSCOM requirements for equipment fix. Designed for transport in M105 trailer Unit Weight: 2,400 lbs.. Footprint: 8L x 6 W x 5 H Set up in under 30 minutes One troop operable Configurable for two flow rates 120 GPM max - high flow path 66 GPM tortuous path Totally self-contained Designed for use with 3K ROWPU

14 MMFFS 3000 Advantages Proven treatment technologies –Aeration, Filtration, Adsorption, Oxidation/Reduction Adaptable to many situations Simple operation and maintenance Cost effective –Eliminates need to containerize/haul contaminated wastewater –Pays for itself in 1 year/200,000 gallons processed. * * U.S. Army Forces Command, 2000, MMFFS 3000 Payback Analysis, Contract # DAKF11-99-D-005, TO 022
