2 GLOBAL WATER CRISIS 780 million people live without access to safe drinking water million people die each year from water related diseases. 96,5% of the word s available water is seawater or brackish. Only 3,5% is fresh water available. Solar powered Desalination is the solution Conventional desalination (Reverse Osmosis) requires a large amount of energy to desalinate water and therefore is not sustainable in areas of the world where energy comes at high cost or is not available at all. Solar powered desalination is the solution as nowadays solar energy is the cheapest source of energy and is particularly abundant and effective in areas with limited or unaffordable access to energy. GENIUS WATTER DESALINATION SYSTEM The Genius Watter Desalination System is an innovative, solar powered and battery free, reverse osmosis water desalination and purification system. Capable to process any kind of water and making fresh water available to people, farmers and industries at almost zero cost per liter. Designed to be an extremely reliable and long-lasting solution (over 40 yeras) Designed to be Plug & Play with no need of local civil works Operates in total autonomy Remotely monitored and managed 2

4 HOW IT WORKS MAIN COMPONENTS The GENIUS WATTER system is located inside a container and includes the following main components: Photovoltaic system Made of high efficiency and long lasting Genius Watter solar panels (over 40 years lifespan), properly sized to meet the entire system s energy demand. New generation reverse osmosis equipment Designed to operate only daytime, under variable power regimes. Special inverter and stabilizer Transforming all the available solar power into stable 400 VAC, 3 phases-50 Hz power, suitable to feed any kind of electrical load. Microprocessor To make the whole system totally autonomous by monitoring and managing the parameters of all components according to the solar energy available. 4

REMOTE MONITORING AND ManagemEnt A remote monitoring and system management to guarantee the system s perfect functionality over the next 40 years in-house 24/7 operation and maintenance service: 1.

Prevents any system s breakdown by managing its performance parameters; 3.

Sends to clients real time and monthly performance reports of the system s functionality (quantity and quality of water produced); 5.

MAIN FEATURES OF GENIUS DESALINATION SYSTEM Durability: The high quality components and system design provide a reliable source of fresh water, 365 days/year, for over 40+ years of durability.

5 REMOTE MONITORING AND ManagemEnt A remote monitoring and system management to guarantee the system s perfect functionality over the next 40 years in-house 24/7 operation and maintenance service: 1. Actively monitors and manages all parameters of the system which is equipped with a microprocessor and a proprietary software, with an active internet or satellite connection; 2. Prevents any system s breakdown by managing its performance parameters; 3. Reduces at minimum level the need of local maintenance interventions, which are directly coordinated by the O&M service ceneter; 4. Sends to clients real time and monthly performance reports of the system s functionality (quantity and quality of water produced); 5. Provides training, wherever necessary, to local staff to execute the most simple and frequent operations (i.e. changing fi lters). MAIN FEATURES OF GENIUS DESALINATION SYSTEM Durability: The high quality components and system design provide a reliable source of fresh water, 365 days/year, for over 40+ years of durability. Economical Sustainability: The best solution to make fresh water in islands and remote areas of the world, at an extremely low cost. Environmental Sustainability: Thanks to the remote monitoring and control service that guarantees the systems functionality without need of specialised local intervention during its whole life-span, the system is ideal for communities as well as hotels and resorts located in remote areas and in developing countries. Eco-friendly: NO fuel consumption, no chemicals, no batteries used. The system is powered 100% by the sun, free of charge. Capacity: Genius Desalination System can be sized to produce any quantity of water needed, from 5 m 3 /day to m 3 /day of fresh water. Quality: The system is able to desalinate and purify almost any type of water (even contaminated) and to re-mineralize it as needed for any purposes (drinkable for humans or animals, irrigation, industrial and tourism). 5

6 TYPICAL APPLICATIONS OF GENIUS DESALINATION SYSTEM Drinking Water For People Drinking Water For Animals Genius System can be ideal to grow livestock in a sustainable and costeffective way. This leads to the possibility for the farmers to produce milk and meat, creating a sustainable rural economy. From 5 m3/day to m3/day of fresh water, serving up to people Water For Irrigation Water for Industry and Tourism The low cost of the produced fresh water as well as the capacity to adjust its level of salinity and conductibility makes the Genius System the ideal solution for hotels, resorts, water and csd (carbonated soft drinks) bottling companies, pharmaceutical industries, food industries and fisheries productions. Genius System can make available large volumes of fresh water to irrigate hundreds of hectares with an extremely low cost of water. Genius System can be ideal to irrigate cultivated lands, golf camps, vineyards. Genius System effi ciently feeds drip irrigation system. Genius System can transform hectares of semi-arid areas into fertile and green lands, making them ready to be cultivated, creating jobs and a sustainable rural economy. 6

7 COMPARISON OF GENIUS DESALINATION SYSTEM Vs DIESEL DESALINATION SYSTEM Diesel SYSTEM GENIUS SYSTEM Power (kw) Volume of Desalinated Water Power (kw) Volume of Desalinated Water Time (h) + low initial investment - high costs of fuel for the whole lifespan of the system - high need of frequent maintenance - short lifespan of diesel generators (< hours or 3 years) - short lifespan of membranes (average 3 years) - need of local competent technicians for periodical overhauls - high cost of water, increasing over time - environmentally harmful Cost comparison over 20 years Diesel Desalination System SUPPLY OF TURN-KEY SYSTEM Turn-key system + Long-term remote monitoring and maintenance service. Benefits: Lowest cost of water Long-term system productivity Long-term full assistance on operations Fuel Opex Capex Genius Desalination System THE GENIUS WATTER SUSTAINABLE APPROACH Time (h) - High initial investment (the same quantity of daily water has to be produced only during the sunny hours, compared to the 24 hours production of a conventional diesel system) + no fuel or energy cost for 40+years + battery free + extremely low maintenance costs of the system over time + no need of any overhauls or extraordinary maintenance of the PV system + long lifespan of membranes (average 8-10 years) + no need of skilled local technicians as the whole system is 24/7 remotely monitored and managed + very low cost of water + environmentally friendly & sustainable SUPPLY OF WATER Supply of water under a long-term contract (inclusive of all the system s maintenance costs). Benefits: Strong cost savings on the water bill for over 40 + years No investments needed Zero risk for the Client Purchased water cost from Utility Total water cost from Genius Watter System (including O&M) Cost of water purchased from the Utility Cost of water purchased from Genius Watter Cost of Water SAVING Cost of Water SAVING 0 Years Years
