Ecosphere Ozonix

• Combines ozone, ultrasound and electro-precipitati
  on in a pressure compensated reactor tank
• Provisional U.S. Patent filed Aug. 2007
• U.S. patent filed Sept. 2008

8
Ecosphere Ozonix Reacton Tank

• Super-saturated ozonated water is flash mixed
  with effluent using hydro-dynamic cavitation
  through a liquid sparger.
• Dual-frequency ultrasonic transducers initiate
  the dissolved gas flotation of oils and suspended
  solids and the conversion of ozone to hydroxyl
  radicals.

9
Ecosphere Ozonix Nano-bubble Technology

• In the presence of an ultrasonic cavitation
  field, ozone decomposes into two hydroxyl
  radicals and oxygen gas. The hydroxyl radical
  will oxidize all known organic compounds in
  nano-seconds.
• Nano-cavitation bubbles imploding provide the
  liquid-gas interface that is instantaneously
  heated to approx. 900 degrees F, which in turn
  oxidizes all known organic compounds in 35-100
  pico-seconds (pico-second is one million of one
  millionth of a second). This phenomenon is known
  as sonoluminescence.

10
Ultrasonic-Assisted Dissolved Gas Flotation

• A continuous ultrasonic field will agglomerate
  small bubbles into larger bubbles with a diameter
  of 1/8th the ultrasonic wavelength.This process
  increases the bubble rise velocity and decreases
  the flotation time for oils and solid particles.
  
• Ultrasonic cavitation cleaves larger particles
  into smaller particles for faster removal by
  flotation.

EcosFrac - A Revolutionary Frac Process

• Eliminates cations, aerobic and anaerobic
  bacteria on the fly at the frac site
• Eliminates costs and handling of caustic
  chemicals at the well site

19
Scaling And Corrosion The Facts

• Chemicals in frac water contributes to scaling
  and corrosion problems
• Metals calcium, magnesium, iron, and
  moreAlkalinity carbonates, bicarbonates,
  hydroxidesHigh ph 8.0 9.5Dissolved salts
  chlorides, etc.
• Calcium and iron combined with carbonate and
  bicarbonate produce the most common types
• of scaling and corrosion

Current Process With Biocides And Various
Chemicals

EcosFrac Eliminates Bacterias

• Aerobic BacteriaGab General Aerobic
  BacteriaOften called slime-forming bacteria,
  produces Polysaccharide biofilm that often
  adheres to the shale and inhibits the flow of
  gasses.
• Anaerobic Bacteria
• Apb Acid Producing BacteriaGrows on metal and
  secretes acid producing corrosion.Srb
  Sulfate Reducing BacteriaProduces Hydrogen
  Sulfide (sour gas) and has the potential to shut
  down a well.

• EcosFrac process eliminates cations, and
  bacterias
• Ecosphere Ozonix process oxidizes heavy metals,
  removes oil sheens, organic compounds, hardness
  salts and cations
• EcosBrine, a clean HCW used to blend with fresh
  clean water for the next frac
• Flowback water is treated on-site or at an off
  site processing facility
• Pre-project sampling and testing, plus
  post-project lab reports

• Current Method
• Costly Biocides
• Chemicals deterioratein shale
• Heavy metals and chemical contaminates can cause
  scale and reduces efficiency of well production

24
Total Water Resource Management

• Objective To create an Eco-friendly Total Water
  Management System that is capable of
  cost-effectively reclaiming water for maximum
  reuse and minimal waste.

• The EcosFrac is an advanced oxidation process
  prior to the frac removing organic compounds,
  cations and bacteria on the fly. Eliminating
  scale and corrosion downhole improves well
  productivity.
• The Ecosphere Ozonix System is a mobile water
  recycling unit to treat frac flowback water that
  removes heavy metals, organics, and cations at
  the well site or at a processing facility
  resulting in EcosBrine and Clean Fresh Water. By
  properly locating mini processing sites in a
  shale play trucking costs are reduced
  considerably.
• EcosBrine results from the Ecosphere Ozonix
  System and is a (HCW) high chloride water to
  beblended at the frac site for recurrent use
  reducing completion costs.
• Clean Fresh Water is the other end product of the
  Ecosphere Ozonix System, which replenishes the
  fresh water source extending the life cycle of a
  vital natural resource.
