  7. Municipal: ARP Process Overview Process Inputs: Centrate ~ 1,000 ppm N Caustic, Brine, Flocculent, Power Pretreatment Solids Removal Softening Rough Capture Process Outputs: Spent Softening Brine Solids Return Ammonium Sulfate Concentrated Regeneration Solution 7,000ppm Pretreated Centrate Process Inputs: Caustic Acid Power Ammonia Capture: Adsorption Capture Regeneration pH Adjustment Process Outputs: Treated Centrate N <100 ppm • Compared to conventional biological reduction methods, ARP: • Costs 80% less to build • Costs 60% less to operate • Requires less than 1/3 the space • Reduces plant energy usage up to 10% • Substantially reduces carbon emissions • Provides for beneficial reuse of recovered ammonia 7

  8. Municipal Market Potential for ARP • Nitrogen/Ammonia Latest Regulatory Problem for Wastewater Plants • Leading Cause of Dead Zones Worldwide (areas devoid of aquatic life) • Currently being regulated in NY / PA / DE / VA / DE / MD / District of Columbia • Similar reg’s pending in states of Illinois, Oregon, Washington, California and Florida • Revenue Model based on four options • Design / Build / Own / Operate (D/B/O/O) – ‘privatization’ • Design / Build / Operate – 26th Ward project • Direct Equipment Sales • Direct License – specific application or territory (royalty) • Potential Revenue based on tipping fees from D/B/O/O model • Based on current revenue projections using $4 lb. ammonia removed tipping fee • Top 20 markets potential: $ 680 M annually • Top 50 markets potential: $ 1.9 B annually • Projected global water/wastewater market 10 times US market 8

  9. ARP Near Term Market Potential • New York City project – 26th Ward WPCP Brooklyn • First commercial project • $12.5m project (includes 1 yr of operation) – total project being financed by City • 500,000 gpd centrate / recovering 1.2m lbs. of ammonia annually • Expect to convert project into long-term operating contract • Based on $4 per lb of ammonia removed • NYC generates total of 4.2 mgd from all eight dewatering plants • Revenue potential for treating all 4.2m gpd of NYC centrate = $400 M / 20 yr. Contract • 40% EBITDA margin to TMEN • Additional opportunities being negotiated • Washington Area Sewage Authority’s Blue Plains POTW (3 mgd centrate) • Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago (5 mgd centrate) • Strategic partnership with larger companies well placed in Company’s target markets 9
