Who We Are A technology company in water. Founded ten years ago. Publicly trading on US OTC as OCLN. Our technology has wide application range, so business model is licensing and joint ventures. Focusing on early adopters, to shorten the adoption process. Electro Water Separation : an award-winning, patented system, developed entirely in-house. 3
Electro Water Separation EWS is a two-stage process. Uses electrochemistry in real time (continuous, no chemicals). Effectively clears up very dirty, very oily water. Thoroughly proven in the field. 2015 field test on East Bakersfield Produced water 4
EWS Architecture First Stage: Single Step Extraction (SSE) Direct contact key to real-time operation Proprietary design of anode nested inside cathode. Choice of donating or non-donating modes. First Stage: contaminated water travels through a series of electrically-charged tubes. 5
EWS Architecture Second Stage: Concentrated material is drawn into flotation tank. Hydrolysis causes microbubble cloud. Material pushed to surface for removal. The entire process is continuous and scalable. Second Stage: Floated sludge recovery at tank surface. 6
2017: Where We Stand Now entering commercial scale around the world with licensees and joint venture partners. Wholly owned subsidiary in Texas, complementary membrane solutions available. In 2016, developed a next-gen Advanced Oxidation Process, AOx. Now rolling out AOx in combination with EWS. 7
What Can AOx Do? Degrade (oxidize) all organic compounds, including the recalcitrant ones (e.g. drugs, pesticides, endocrine disruptors etc.), VOCs, all the way to mineralization. Successfully deactivate bacteria, viruses etc. Oxidize heavy metals. Source: SSWM: Advanced Oxidation Processes 8
OriginClear s Next-Gen AOP Patent filed March 2016 for Advanced Oxidation. Additional patents & trade secrets in development. No reagent injection AOx is a strictly electro-catalytic process for broad range oxidation: indirect and direct oxidation. AOx is the low-maintenance, energy-efficient, real-time way to address the wide array of contaminants in various wastewater streams, including produced or frack flowback water. 9
EWS is unique too Unique electrodes configuration Choice of electrode materials. Donating and non-donating anode High mass transfer & pressurized reactor to keep gas in solution Pressure released in flotation chamber for immediate dispersion of gas Possible retrofit on existing infrastructure 10

Cost / Performance EWS PRIME Specific Energy Consumption (SEC) 0.28 kwh per barrel or 1.76 kwh/m 3 - including EWS & UF US$0.042 per barrel at US$0.15 per kwh EWS PRIME Operating Expense w/o Labor US$0.042 per barrel energy cost US$0.047 per barrel typical process equipment maintenance Total Operating Expense US$0.089/bbl 18
Bottom Line Performance EWS PRIME performed in wide range of environments Gas wells to WTI to Heavy Oil Truck load to truck load (black to yellow) Salinities from 900 to 160,000 ppm Contaminants removed by EWS PRIME TPH is below detection limits of 5 ppm TSS to below detection limits of 3 ppm Gasoline, Diesel, Motor Oil Range to less than 1 ppm Bacteria removal expected to be higher than 99.5% Effective desalination requires total removal of oil and TSS. EWS PRIME is the most cost effective solution. Eliminates plugging and fouling of downstream desalination 19
