1 PAE - Physical adsorption and emulsion separator system Internationally patented LGA/TÜV expert reports on functions

2 IMPORTANT BENEFITS TO THE ENVIRONMENT AND OPERATIONS BENE DEMULGON fields of application In: waste water with emulsion risk businesses in particularly sensitive areas (e.g. drinking water protection zones) direct sewage disposal into a body of water (lake, stream, ground water) or seepage sewer disposal without subsequent treatment plant Legal regulations According to the EN standard in table B.2, the following applies for businesses without any connection to the sewerage system. "Waste water from the separator may not be disposed of directly in surface bodies of water. ( ) (sewage disposal is only permitted) when the waste water ( ) has undergone additional treatment." Furthermore, this standard stipulates that the "cleaning with the HD device, rotation cleaner and removal of large quantities of paraffin, wax or similar as well as rust protective treatment" are only permitted with an emulsion treatment step or further waste water treatment. BENE DEMULGON, the physical adsorption and emulsion separator system, fulfils these criteria. Unlike conventional treatment systems (e.g. chemical separation systems) it accomplishes this: without outside energy and with minimum operating costs. BENE DEMULGON is the ideal alternative to chemical emulsion separation systems. With similar cleaning performance, ecology and economy achieve a healthy balance without chemicals. Cleaning performance Treatable materials 0.5 to 1.7 mg/l total hydrocarbon contents on adding 5,000 mg/l hydrocarbon Test with LGA/TÜV Practical tests prove the system's effectiveness, even with extremely contaminated and emulsified waste water. very good adsorbability adsorbable not adsorbable Petrol Diesel Addition of 5,000 mg/l Cleaning performance mg/l Superfuel Motor oil Synthetic oils Kerosene Vegetable fats Animal fats Benzene, toluene, xylene Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons Automobile cleaning detergent Soaps Heavy metals Drilling oil (depending on product) Precise areas of use on request

3 BENE DEMULGON compact Physical adsorption and emulsion separator system Highest cleaning performance Patented Easy to use Minimum use of additional materials Low operating costs Lowest maintenance Minimum production of hazardous waste Optimum coupling with other BENE products BENE DEMULGON is used in conjunction with coalescence or fat separators. From an ecological and economical point of view the most sensible option is to install behind a: TURBO high-performance separator BENE SECURON or fat separator machine BENE LIPON These remove oil or fat from the danger zone and, in doing so, achieve: optimum pre-treatment. even longer service lives of the BENE CARBIX active unit. guarantees optimised cleaning performance.

4 BENE DEMULGON functional principle Guiding plates divert the waste water to the cartridge. Cleaning process: The highly active BENE CARBIX active unit, an extremely strong-pored polyurethane frame waterproofed with vacuum-metalised adsorbents, absorbs oil and oleophilic residual materials from the water. The highly-porous structure guarantees high flow rates. The vacuum-metalised adsorbents guarantee a huge surface with fine pores on which the contaminants come together into large drops due to molecule-molecule-attraction (London dispersion force). These contaminants detach themselves from the BENE CARBIX and either float or settle. BENE CARBIX active unit pulverised, agglomerated, highly active granulate-active carbon strongest physical adsorption force surface with excellent hardness properties for long service life freely accessible micro-pores extremely high pore volume enormous, efficient loading capacity maximum filter surface over the smallest carrying structure area (3 g of this active carbon will cover the surface of a football field) substrate: reticulated, pre-defined synthetic pores with defined pore size optimised flow rate BENEfits of BENE DEMULGON over chemical emulsion separator systems BENE DEMULGON is physical adsorption and emulsion separation, that is, it works according to the principle of adsorption. Benefit during operation: the only maintenance task compared to other chemical separation systems is replacing the BENE CARBIX active unit (depending on usage) Economic benefit: annual savings of up to 20,000 EUR in operating costs at normal waste water usage Benefits to the environment: only small quantities of "fixed, fat and oil-lubricated resources" (ASN German waste code number) when changing the BENE CARBIX active unit no large quantities of environmentally damaging hazardous waste no expensive disposal no electrics, control systems or outside energy

5 USES OF BENE DEMULGON Restaurants Automobile factories Industrial plants Scrap yards Fast-food restaurants Motorway service areas Auto yards Bus yards Transportation companies Forwarding companies Construction yards Fire departments High-pressure cleaning plants with especially high pressure Use of defined detergents and tensides Military barracks Ground water remediation Car and truck washes Garages with wet floor cleaning and motor cleaning Refineries, oil-processing industry Industrial, commercial sites Transformer stations Power stations Including all companies not connected to the sewerage system
