4 TOOLS Investment in state-of-the-art research infrastructure is fundamental to the commitment of Degrémont Technologies to advance the field of water treatment. Multidisciplinary teams of scientists and engineers have access to all the tools necessary to develop practical solutions to real-world problems. Advanced Analytical Services Project Chemists at DENARD work in a lab equipped with a range of advanced instrumentation to fully characterize both water and wastewater samples in order to produce the essential data required to meet a client s water treatment needs. Consultative Treatability Studies are conducted to develop process operating parameters and to predict full-scale performance. ICP - OES Analysis Computational Fluid Dynamics Modeling DENARD s team of Designers & Research Engineers utilize the latest CFD-modeling software to optimize equipment design and model plant hydraulics. The tool is useful in simulating a range of complex phenomenon including UV Reactor Design, Cannon Mixer bubble generation, Dissolved Air Flotation and Integrated Fixed Film Activated Sludge systems. CFD modeling (Aquaray SLP UV reactor) Degrémont Technologies has proven water treatment solutions practiced throughout more than sites worldwide.

5 Pilot Testing With a fl eet of over 30 fi eld-scale pilot units ranging from UV reactors to clarifi cation systems and handling fl ows up to 350 gpm (80 m 3 /h) Degrémont Technologies conducts pratical, on-site studies for determination of process performance prior to full-scale investment. This approach has proven successful on thousands of the most diffi cult municipal and industrial applications worldwide. Collimated Beam Testing The emergence of UV irradiation as a viable strategy for disinfection of water and wastewater has created a need for evaluation of UV dose requirements to achieve specifi ed effl uent quality criteria. DENARD has developed a comprehensive collimated-beam test protocol for generation of laboratory dose-response data, which is then used to derive a design UV dose for full-scale systems. Combining the use of a standardized protocol with advanced sample characterization such as particle size distribution analysis, DENARD aims to increase client confidence in UV system performance by ensuring the reproducibility of test results and allowing meaningful comparison of data. Bench Scale UF Fiber Production Aquasource s RDI Department is equipped with a dedicated spinning unit. Independent of the commercial production equipment, researchers are free to evaluate formulation improvements and explore new UF fi ber development dedicated to diverse applications.

6 RECENT WATER TREATMENT INNOVATIONS Dedicated to increasing public confidence in the world s most precious resourcewater, via execution of targeted research programs. OZONIA Intelligent Gap System Ozonia s newly developed IGS dielectric technology is expected to revolutionize the industrial ozone generation field a critical milestone as ozone is increasingly applied in advanced wastewater treatment applications for control of micropollutants such as endocrine disrupting compounds and pharmaceutical wastes. The exposure of an oxygen carrying feedgas to a plasma made of dielectric barrier discharges leads to the formation and enrichment of ozone. By adjusting the character of the applied microdischarges and the fraction of total applied power throughout the dielectric layer, the IGS design increases the quantity and efficiency of ozone production. The key advantage of the IGS dielectric technology is the significant reduction in power consumption to produce the equivalent weight percent of ozone as compared to conventional designs. Further advantages of the IGS dielectric design include greater weight percent of ozone production (up to 14%), accelerated burn-in period and reduced sensitivity to trace impurities like moisture and hydrocarbons. AQUARAY 3X UV Disinfection Technology Increasing environmental awareness and the growing market for wastewater reuse has accelerated the implementation of UV Disinfection. The Aquaray 3X technology combines the use of LP Amalgam lamps (160W UVC) and a patented vertical lamp reactor design to deliver maximum disinfection capacity with significantly fewer lamps and a compact plant footprint. A novel flow pacing controls feature supports variable lamp output and row-by-row operation to allow optimized disinfection while maximizing energy savings. As a green alternative to the use of chlorine, the Aquaray 3X has already generated real financial gains for users. In 2006, it was awarded the Frost & Sullivan award for Technology Innovation of the Year in the US Emerging Water and Wastewater treatment category. AquaDAF High Rate Clarification Technology Our patented AquaDAF dissolved air flotation system has revolutionized conventional clarification practices. Operating at rise rates upwards of 30 m/h, the AquaDAF plant footprint is two to three times more compact than conventional flotation units. Originally specified for drinking water clarification applications, the AquaDAF is now proven for a diverse range of treatment applications including tertiary Phosphorous removal and spent filter backwash and seawater applications.

7 PROACTIVE Planning today for tomorrow INEA & ALTEON Advanced Ultrafiltration Membrane Technologies First launched in 1984, Aquasource s R&D Program delivered the LIFEA cellulose acetate membrane technology which resulted in the world s fi rst Ultrafi ltration plant for drinking water treatment at Amoncourt, France in Recent development of the INEA cellulose acetate membrane provides improved permeability and a 12% increase in the fi ltration surface within each module, signifi cantly reducing capital investment costs. The ALTEON hydrophilic polysulfone membrane with its ability to withstand more aggressive cleaning regimes makes it ideally suited for direct surface water fi ltration, wastewater reuse and seawater desalination pretreatment applications. Biolysis O Sludge Reduction Technology The Biolysis O technology was developed to reduce the quantity of biological sludge production from activated sludge systems, addressing a critical fi nancial and environmental concern of today s wastewater treatment plants. Incorporating the use of a specially designed mixing reactor and a variable Ozone dosing strategy allows operators to fine-tune performance requirements yielding sludge reduction that ranges from 30 to 80%. 2PAD Two Phase Anaerobic Digestion Technology Degrémont s 2PAD Two-Phase Anaerobic Digestion technology is US EPA certifi ed for the production of Class A biosolids, facilitating land application without restriction. By separating the acid and methane producing stages, the digestion process efficiency is greatly enhanced, yielding maximum pathogen destruction, increased biogas production and signifi cant reduction in total hydraulic retention time. Ultimately this translates into increased energy effi ciency, smaller digester volumes and / or increased sludge loading rates. Use of the high-rate Cannon Mixer system ensures peak digester performance and reduced operating costs. Flue Gas Desulfurization Wastewater Biological Treatment Process The growing environmental movement to introduce Clean Air legislation aimed at reducing sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide emissions from coal-fi red power plants, has accelerated Degrémont Technologies development of a biological treatment process targeting the removal of pollutants captured in the wastewater stream purged from the air pollution control equipment. Key to this patent-pending process is the staged reactor design and automated controls which select for the growth of distinct microbes within the naturally occurring population for sequential removal of nitrogenous compounds and heavy metal contaminants such as Selenium and Chromium, which have proven difficult to remove with conventional physical chemical treatment.
