  2. Agenda • Industry Challenge & Response • Company & Technology • Solutions & Products

  3. The Challenge - 1 • Freshwater is under clear and imminent threat ! • Water quality problems persist, and increase, due to natural events, as well as man-made activities. • Long term trends, as well as tragic unforeseen events, effect water quality in both developing and developed countries: • Growing population, urbanization, industrialization, agricultural demand, infrastructure deterioration, climate changes. • Earth quakes, storms & floods, tsunami, industrial accidents, even intentional dumps as well as war and terror !

  4. The Challenge - 2 • Millions of people around the world are effected by poor drinking water quality, many get sick and even die as a result. • Water pollution has health as well as non health impact on society – both are translated to tremendous costs. • A 2007 report from the world bank titled “China – Environmental Cost of Pollution” demonstrated that: • Combined costs of environmental pollution in China is ~ 100 Billion US$, or about 5.8% of GDP. • Water pollution is causing growing levels of cancer in children – what cost is that to society's hearts ?

  5. The Need • Human waste, industrial wastes & chemicals, agricultural pesticides and fertilizers are in many cases sources of pollution. • Many rivers, lakes and ground water sources are becoming or could become increasingly contaminated. • Some contamination event are abrupt – happening without any warning. • New pollutants, as well as synergies between pollutants , are not easily detected and pose a new threat. • Current water quality monitoring does not provide protection to public health – it is too narrow and takes too much time to be effective.  There is a need for a paradigm change !

  6. Industry Response • Water quality monitoring equipment is an important, evolving & growing segment within the water / environmental technology industry. • The industry is adopting new monitoring technologies to enable broader, more sensitive and quicker detection of pollutants. • Increased sampling as well adoption of new continuous ‘on-line’ monitoring are becoming industry ‘de-facto standard’. • A new “Early Warning” segment is evolving in order to provide a time-relevant protection against contamination disasters.

  7. Target Markets Primary target applications / markets: • Raw & drinking water quality monitoring & early warning. • Emergency, routine (field, lab, on-line). • Water utilities, water authorities. • Environmental & health protection agencies. • Security agencies.

  8. Target Markets Secondary target markets: • Wastewater, desalination, industrial & process water. • Desalination plants, beverages companies, industrial companies, treatment plants. • Efficiency and quality control improvement.

  9. Our Company • Vendor of water quality monitoring technologies & products. • Headquarters are in Israel. Operates internationally. • Private company, founded in 2001 by Dr. Nirit Ulitzur - a biology expert. • Equity investment by Whitewater in 2008 – an Israeli investment group focusing on water technologies. • Israel’s Chief Scientist Office supports CheckLight’s R&D. • Scientific research is headed by Prof. (Emeritus) Shimon Ulitzur (Technion Institute), a leading scientist in the field of microbial luminescence.

  10. Mission & Vision Mission – enable global water utilities & related organizations to protect and ensure drinking water safety & quality by developing, manufacturing and delivering innovative early warning solutions which detect a wide range of contaminants quickly, efficiently and cost-effectively. Vision – bioluminescence-based monitoring will become a global industry standard to be adopted by environment protecting organizations around the globe.

  11. Management Team • CEO – Mr. Eyal Mor (BA), 20 years experience in leading high-tech companies into global markets. • CTO & Founder – Dr. Nirit Ulitzur (PhD., Stanford PostDoc), an expert on water quality testing based on bacterial luminescence. • Chief Scientist – Prof. (Emeritus) Shimon Ulitzur, worldwide reputation (>30 years of research, >70 publications) in microbial luminescence. • VP BD & Marketing – Mr. Moti Blau (MCIM, MBA), over 18 years of international business development, marketing & sales. • VP Operations – Mr. Nir Hertzman (MBA, Elct. Eng.), over 15 years of operations management in various industries.

  12. Core Technology - 1 • Non-pathogenic luminous marine bacteria are used as sensors (bioluminescence). • Substances in water effect the bacteria which in response change the intensity of emitted light. • Light change is measured using a sensitive Luminometer. • Core know how relates to bacterial behavior in response to chemicals’ presence in water. • Proprietary reagents sensitize the bacteria and stabilize their operating conditions. • Unique technological integration for on-line monitoring (electronics, mechanics, software, biology).

  13. Core Technology - 2 • Various applications: Toxicity, AOC, BOD, Biocide etc. • Detection of a wide range of contaminants. • Detection at very low concentrations. • Highly reliable results within minutes. • Long term storage in active state. • Optional deployment - field or laboratory. • Very easy to use with minimal training. • Basic technology (ToxScreen) has been verified by EPA’s ETV. “Bacteria-based biosensors are ideal for use as early warning screening tools for drinking water security” (EPA).

  14. AquaVerity • Comprehensive, Early Warning Biomonitoring System to ensure water safety and quality. • Continuously detects contamination events and issues real-time alerts. Significantly reduces the threats & risks associated with water contamination. • Composed of hardware, software and consumables. Includes both continuous (on-line) and portable equipment.

  15. AquaVerity - Tiered Response Observe water quality change - broad, continuous. Increasing: Certainty, Response. Cost CCB-TOX Automated Sample Collection Confirmation Bioassay. TOX-SPOT / TOX-SCREEN Chemical Analysis. Public Healthy / Remedial Action

  18. CCB-TOX • Key element of any Early Warning System. • Automatic water toxicity biomonitor . • Continuously monitors chemical contamination events. • On-Line - sends alerts in real-time. • Sensitive to a broad range of contamination events. • Reliable, cost-effective, & easy to operate

  19. TOX-SPOT Easy to use portable toxicity biomonitor. Early warning of dangerous water contamination in emergency situations (spills, accidents, sabotage or terrorism).

  20. TOX-SPOT LUM-KK-01 Rapid on site screening. ~15 minutes to determine changes in water quality in raw and treated drinking water .

  21. TOX-SCREEN Rapid lab detection of chemical toxicity in various water sources. Screening of multiple samples. Semi-quantitative determining toxicity degree. Organics & heavy metals differentiation.

  22. Early-AOC Test Kit Rapid Assimilable Organic Carbon measurement - within 2 hours. • Monitor water at various pre- & post-filtration steps • Optimize timing of filter backwash • Provide early warning of membrane bio-fouling • Predictive indication of bacterial re-growth • Early warning of changes in bio-stability • Reduce operation & maintenance costs

  23. Early-BOD Test Kit Rapid Biochemical Oxygen Demand measurement - within 3-4 hours. The level of luminescence is proportional to the concentration of utilizable organic carbon in the sample.
