REDUCTION IN TIME TAKEN TO DECONTAMINATE PROCESS PLANT FOR MANNED ENTRY

WHAT IS DECONTAMINATION? Simple Answer à Making equipment ready for personnel entry Key issues Benzene LEL H 2 S FeS Residual Oil Residual Solids 0ppm 0% 0ppm Neutralised Removed Conditioned Single Stage Decontamination Process Completed within 12 Hours once temperature is achieved Simultaneous Distillation, Oxidation and Surfactancy Processes for removal/neutralisation of contaminants, de-oiling and conditioning of solids

WHAT IS ZYME-FLOW? Zyme-Flow is a chemical formulation in a range of chemical products supplied exclusively to Denholm MacNamee under licence from United Laboratories LLC., the USA manufacturer and patent holder. The name Zyme-Flow is commonly used by clients to refer to the chemical range and/or the application process Zyme-Flow UN-657 HP G71 Rezyd-X Z-67 Zyme-Ox Z-50 Zyme-Ox K19 Organic Solvent Surfactant & Oxidiser Oxidiser Increase in Organic Solvency Strength increase in Oxidation Strength

CLIENT EXPECTATIONS IN TAR EVENTS For Onshore and Offshore Applications Minimised Decontamination Time Minimum Plant Modifications for Decontamination Process Well Proven, Efficient, Successful Process Minimal Operational Footprint for Decontamination Safe Decontamination Products and Processes Competent, Experienced & Safety Conscious Contractor Personnel Minimisation of Waste Volumes and Costs for Disposal COST & TIME REDUCTION ON TURNAROUND

MINIMISED PROCESSING TIME Time Savings Comparison Traditional Decon Approach Heating & Rigging : 48 hours Chemical circulation: 24 hours Zyme-Flow Decon Approach Heating & Rigging 8 hours Zyme-Flow Vapour Phase: 12 hours Zyme-Flow Approach ZF set up & treatment period (20hrs) Cut treatment time by 72.25% Traditional set up & treatment period (72hrs) Traditional Approach

ZYMEFLOW APPLICATION METHODS Proprietary Vapour-Phase Minimal injection points needed chemical becomes part of steam Quickest entry into de-inventoried equipment Boil Out Most often used for horizontal vessels, especially those in when a large volume of sludge is anticipated Non-entry method leaves remaining sludge non-hazardous Circulation Used to decontaminate specific vessels and piping Can be used if steam is not an option

VAPOUR PHASE DECONTAMINATION FLARE LCGO COMPRESSOR KO DRUM FRACTIONATOR Zyme-Flow HCGO Zyme-Flow Zyme-Flow TOWER PUMPOUT FRESH FEED Zyme-Flow Rezyd-X Permanent Steam Temporary Steam

BENEFITS OF ZYME-FLOW PROCESS No nitrogen purging involved in the decontamination process Chemistry non reversibly oxidises H 2 S Pyrophoric iron sulphides are treated in the process Non-entry process; sludge is treated inside vessel On-site personnel test levels throughout process Water-based chemistry Non-hazardous (HMIS 0-0-0) and no VOC s Wastewater friendly with inherent separation Low BOD/COD effluent Treated sludge is non-hazardous CEFAS & REACH registered

OFFSHORE CASE HISTORY Nexen Scott Platform Project Details ASSET Name: Scott Location: 188km (116 miles) NE of Aberdeen Production: 50,000 boe/d OVERVIEW Zyme-Flow decontamination - Scott Platform V0106 Telford Separator completed in June 2015 Client issues identified as high solids & sludge levels and high LEL. A site visit was carried out in March 2015 and method statements written accordingly to give maximum flexibility and alternates should the need arise.

OFFSHORE CASE HISTORY Nexen Scott Platform Project Results POSITIVES Client was pleased that the boil-out process had clearly proven the chemical capability and the level of success that can be attained. The %LEL remaining in the vessel post decontamination was fully addressed and all internal surfaces were very clean upon manned entry without the need for N 2. Client was delighted with the time saving although permitry was a serious issue. DML started at midday on Tuesday and were finished by 0800 on Wednesday 20 hours total including heating time. Residual solids were de-oiled and removal was significantly quicker and easier than with previous cleans. The project was completed within the decon window allocated without accident, injury or near miss. Overall Client was impressed by the efficiency and performance of the DML/Zyme- Flow operation.

OFFSHORE CASE HISTORY PICTURES FROM CLIENT CLIENT COMMENT Denholm did a fantastic job on that separator, believe me. We are all delighted by the outcome

ONSHORE CASE HISTORY Scope of Work RK FCCU:- 3CDU:- 3DHT:- Main Fractionator, Depropaniser, Debutaniser & Rerun systems Fractionator, Kero/LGO/Waxy Cut strippers, Exchangers, Driers, Condensers Stabiliser, Splitter, HP Separator, LP Separator TREATMENTS AREA:- Amine Unit, SWS, SRU KO Pots, Sour Water Drum OTHER:- Flare Knock Out Drums Planned Manning level and duration =2 x 4 man shifts for 10 days (based on plant release schedule) Actual Manning level and duration =2 x 4 man shifts for 10 days despite minor delays in plant release) Some of the cleanest columns and vessels seen after a decontamination Shutdown Coordinator

BENEFITS SUMMARY Unique & Patented Green Chemistry Focused Experts & Expertise in Process Unit Decontamination Best Practices & Innovative Solutions Continually Developed Minimal Operational Footprint Gives Rapid Entry to Vessel Low Hazard Waste Products from the Zyme-Flow Process Easy Application via Vapour-Phase, Boilout or by Circulation Reduces Turnaround Time & Reduces Overall Costs
