Total Reclaim Systems The Practical Application of Microemulsions (ME) Technology for Waste Minimisation
3
Total Reclaim Systems Microemulsions (ME) Technology EU Environmental Legislation – 16 th July 2004 Ban on co-disposal of waste : Landfill Directive 1999/31/EC New procedures acceptance of waste at landfill : Commission Decision 2003/33/EC Ban on liquid waste : “special” / “hazardous” waste laws tightened Reduces Waste

Total Reclaim Systems LandfillHigh Cost- Requires extensive and suitable area / logistics - No recovery from the waste Mechanical Extraction Low Throughput- Large footprint Thermal Distillation Health and safety Risks - High energy use + Expensive - Slow throughput / logistical problems - Environmental concerns (emissions of CO 2 ) Land-farming /Biodegradation Slow- Requires extensive land area / logistics - No recovery - Cannot degrade high concentrations of oil Solvent Extraction Large volume of organic solvents - Health and safety risks - Slow throughput Surfactant Systems Poor cleaning- Emulsions difficult to handle + separate Current Methods for Remediating Oil Contaminated (Hazardous) Solid Wastes

21
Total Reclaim Systems The system is a Low Energy Process - No excess thermal power / energy requirements Low Cost of treatment plant and chemicals used - Advantageous economics (BATNEEC) Small Compact Process / Same engineering - Mobile skid required (container size) Treat Any Hazardous Waste contaminated by Any Oil Type - Robust process Key Advantages of Microemulsion Technology High Recyclability of organic and aqueous fractions - Few / NO waste products Low Emissions produced - Environmentally friendly (BEP) Synthesis and production of Biodegradable Products - Few dangerous / toxic / persistent / corrosive chemicals - Health + Safety Advantages + Reduced RISK
22
Total Reclaim Systems Access to a global manufacturing and supply network – UK + USA Ops. Supply chain from source to delivery is BS EN ISO 9002 registered Products supplied in UN accredited packaging as required in:- 25L Drums (40 per pallet) 200L Drums (4 per pallet) 1000L IBCs IMCO tanks 23MT Bulk tankers SAS Operations and Industrial Production
23
Total Reclaim Systems Summary Speed and Efficiency - More effective at cleaning faster - Provides better cleaning results No emulsion formation - Produces less waste - Waste more easily managed Potential to Split Microemulsion - Organics released + recovered - Clean waters produced - Prevention Vs Cure Waste Minimisation - Waste volume reduced by at least 70% - Wellbore cleanup pill (50 - 200 barrels) - Simplify operations - Fully integrated Chemical Solution - Sets a new paradigm Fully Integrated System / Process - Wide ranging applications
