1. 1 Seair Diffusion Systems Inc. Pulp & Paper Solutions June 2009

2. 2 Diffusion towers used to replace traditional blower systems Reduce aeration power consumption by up to 80%, which frees up more power for production line and ultimately increases overall plant production Achieve higher dissolved oxygen levels, which allows for more use of high-value hardwood feedstock Reduce maintenance Started by testing (and subsequently purchasing) a small unit, now the much larger SA600 is being used DO levels over 3-4 ppm versus 0.6-1.4 prior to SA600 start-up Initial implementation at Canfor`s pulp mill in Taylor, B.C. Pulp & Paper

3. 3 Diffuse ambient air, through Seair’s patented diffusion tower, into mill aeration pond Primary objective is to increase pond dissolved oxygen levels Current Pulp & Paper Applications

4. 4 Increase dissolved oxygen (“D.O.”) levels to … Operational and Business Drivers …achieve/maintain compliance with discharge water standards …Convert anaerobic pond to aerobic condition, thereby facilitating biological cleaning/remediation …be able to run more frequently/longer on higher value, but oxygen consuming, hardwood feedstock …reduce/eliminate odour Higher D.O. levels achieved with significantly lower power consumption than alternative methods (up to 80% horsepower reduction relative to coarse bubble blowers) Extremely low maintenance requirements Allows maximum reuse of water

5. 5 Started by testing (and subsequently purchasing) a small unit Subsequently added the much larger SA600 Aeration pond D.O. levels over 3-4 ppm versus 0.6-1.4 prior to SA600 start-up Installation at Canfor`s pulp mill in Taylor, B.C. Case Example – Canfor (Taylor, B.C.)

Hardwood species have higher BOD loads than softwood. Hardwood production has improved dramatically the last year.

11. 11 Craig Thomson Energy and Environmental Supervisor Canfor Mill, Taylor B.C. “System at its finest”

12. 12 Mill has 2×1800Hp aeration blowers. Pond pushed passed design, straining aeration system Installed 2 Seair SA600 systems to diffuse ambient air into aeration pond Trial Installation at Millar Western`s pulp mill in Whitecourt, Alberta Case Example – Millar Western (Whitecourt, Alberta)

13. 13 Tank based protocol used to determine residence time and efficiency. Millar Western - Implementation Objectives Test determined a success, DO remained above 3 ppm for excess of 20min. Demonstrated the resonance time of the microbubble and transfer efficiency.

14. 14 Black and White liquor oxidation Other Applications Pulp oxidation and bleaching with oxygen and ozone. Color removal for water. Effluent oxygenation for discharge Water recycling. Make up water treatment
