1 TCC Setting the Global Standard for the Treatment of Oily Waste

2 TCC Environmental Care with Financial Return Thermtech AS set the global standard for the treatment of oily waste; from drill cuttings, from refinery sludge and from production pits. The goal is reached with the TCC, the only friction based thermal separation technology which recovers for re-use the different components of the waste. The treatment with the TCC offers both the best environmental and commercial options. The TCC operates both onshore and offshore.

3 The troubles with Oily waste The oily waste is hazardous waste The relevant legislation is complex and differs all over the world The handling of the oily waste is cumbersome and presents potentially HSE issues Different solutions, none ideal: Bio remediation Landfill Re-injection Incineration Discharge to Sea Limited to no reuse of valuable components Conflicting interests in the value chain Associated costs are perceived as (very) high 3

4 The TCC combines cost efficiency with environmental benefits Re-usable clean oil Clean Solids Oily waste Clean Water Eni and Total consider the TCC as Best Available Technology (SPE ), since the value of the recovered oil covers the cost of the treatment. 4

5 The TCC is the most advanced thermal desorption technology operating both onshore and offshore M-I SWACO (*) Halliburton (*) TWMA Total Waste Management Alliance Ltd. (*) Baker Hughes Scomi Oiltools SAR AS Norsk Gjenvinning North Refinery Refining and Trading Holland BV Newalta ORTEC AA Services (*) M-I SWACO, Halliburton and TWMA have a manufacturing license agreement. M-I SWACO brand name is TCC-Hammer mill; TWMA brand name is TCC-Roto mill. 5

6 The method for generating heat is what makes the TCC a truly unique technology In the heart of the TCC, the process mill, oil and water evaporate with the heat generated by friction. The results: The recovered clean oil is similar to the original oil; Recovered clean solids and water; Ability to meet the most stringent discharge limits; Small footprint; Flexible and modular design; Safe and reliable; Requires both minimum maintenance and manpower. 6

7 The TCC is designed to meet the most stringent environmental and industrial requirements safe, compact, reliable and hassle free quality and re-use 7

8 In the TCC the oil and water evaporate and separate from the solids The frictional heat from the high mechanical shear significantly reduces the risk of fractionating the oil in comparison to all other Thermal systems 8

9 The TCC operates both onshore and offshore. As fixed unit in waste treatment plants, and as mobile compact unit. 9

10 TCC - Recovered oil Oil input: Several base oils are used in OBM Different pollution may affect the oil Oil output: Oil is recovered from oil condenser and water condenser The oil has been proven re-usable BTEX pollution in feed collects in the light fraction output and can be treated separately

12 Solids recovered from the TCC Solids input: Depending on the lithology of the borehole; Barite and bentonite from the drilling mud Solids output: Fine, inert powder Depending on local legislation, between 0,3%w and 1,0%w oil (or even less) Can be used in building materials, asphalt, concrete, etc

13 Water recovered from the TCC Condensates from the separation process Free oil is settled from water Discharge depending on area/legislation - Can be discharged from rig offshore - Water treatment required onshore Recovered water is re-used for the rehydration of the recovered solids

14 TCC Friction heat; direct heat without the flames Homogenous mixture without lumps Lower temperature Short retention time Predictable heat transfer Much smaller footprint High capacity Mobile Safe Reliable 14

18 Traditional driers vs. TCC Indirectly heated units: Requires a heat media at a higher temperature than the required process temperature Requires large heat transfer surface. Capacity limited by heat transfer Risk of local overheating Scaling Inhomogeneous product Long processing time Directly heated units: Elevated fire/explosion hazard Burned and useless oil 18

19 TCC advantages in comparison with other thermal desorption technologies The recovered base oil is comparable in quality to the original base oil and can be reused to mix new drilling mud; The recovered dried solids are clean and can be commercially recycled; The small footprint eases the displacements and it is perfectly suitable for offshore installations; Rapid start-ups and shutdowns facilitate maintenance and allow for operational flexibility; Safe and reliable operations. 19
