4. 4 www.biomicrobics.com What is FAST® Technology? As the industry standard, FAST® technology is an aerobic, pre-engineered, wastewater treatment unit with 100% submerged, fixed-film, packed-bed media bioreactor. Ideal for low/peak, toxic shock, or heavy loading, FAST® technology successfully treats any domestic and high-strength wastewater containing degradable organics. Our scaled-up MyFAST® and MacroFITT® systems provide alternative wastewater treatment options for large applications and municipal (public) treatment plants.

Successfully used for over 40 years, the FAST® process lessen the impact of harmful influent ammonia levels by consistently reducing the total nitrogen at exceptionally high removal rates. The SFR® feature of the FAST® Technology provides alternate modes of operation include intermittent operation of the blower to reduce electricity usage up to 50% and recirculation of nitrified wastewater to the primary settling chamber for extra denitrification. The stability of the FAST® treatment process with fully-submerged, fixed-film media and the effectiveness of activated sludge treatment helps in certain applications due to the unique characteristics of the wastewater; and, where there may or may not be infrastructure available. The effluent meets secondary quality requirements and can be distributed to a soil treatment system or water reuse applications (with drip-tubing irrigation or other non-potable use). Its biosolids treatment and sludge digestion enable cost- effective treatment with less maintenance. Engineered to fit most treatment applications, High-Strength Sewage Treatment Plants (HS- STP® ) systems are ideal for new construction, existing tanks, or renovation of failed systems, including those projects located in environmentally sensitive areas or limitations with distance to groundwater and/or smaller dispersal field size requirements.

7. www.biomicrobics.com 7 Integrated Water Treatment Technologies BioMicrobics products are an integrated water strategy for the rural/urban environment. Residential onsite water‐focused systems and products can have significant potential benefits beyond the utility bills for property and homeowners. For example, compared to conventional water‐efficient homes built using low‐flow fixtures, those residences with water capture, treatment and recycling systems could save a third (due to treated greywater being circulated to the toilets ) or more in total water consumption, while generating only one‐sixth the peak sewage. Water reuse enables municipalities to decrease the displacement/discharge into surface waters, and the demand on the local potable watershed. This could lead to lower fees for the residents, less maintenance, while significantly stretching allocations for reduced water. Decentralized technologies to create permanent infrastructure that provide:  More cost‐effective and provides longer‐term options  Easier to maintain with no added costs of treatment operators  Protection of public health & the environment  Onsite water reuse opportunities to reduce dependencies on potable water sources  Solutions for remote locations and ecologically‐sensitive areas Ecological water management systems and both decentralized residential and commercial wastewater (i.e. blackwater/greywater) treatment technologies can satisfy project goals and provide more options for using treated water. With a long, proven history, these systems perform exceptionally well in achieving the new higher levels of nitrogen removal, net‐zero water goals, and optimal effluent quality with automated, energy efficiency. With more than 70,000 installations in over 70 countries, BioMicrobics’ brings together the best elements of “Water Sensitive Urban Design”, and “Integrated Resource Planning” to deliver a new generation of water utilities. Our team consists of industry experts and provides additional experience to maximize value to the end‐users of our systems. With this worldwide emphasis on environmental concerns and improving water quality, our pre‐ engineered, pre‐packaged, certified, “Fixed Integrated Treatment Technologies” (FITT®) are the result of decades of real‐world operating history and proven results that offer significant environmental benefits…FITT® for the purpose intended.

9. www.biomicrobics.com 9 Supplemental Aeration Lixor® can be used with some High Strength Wastewater Applications to provide additional treatment: Visit www.biomicrobics.com for more info on systems, specifications, product drawings, resource library, & more! LIXOR® submerged aeration devices provide additional oxygen transfer without the inconvenience of clogging or changing the diffusers. LIXOR® is a remarkably effective “course‐bubbler” and mixing system. Extremely low‐maintenance and surprisingly efficient, LIXOR’s non‐clogging, Venturi‐type diffuser supplies air for simultaneous aeration and mixing in a variety of wastewater applications. Low‐cost pre‐ aeration, aeration, sweetening and mixing are just a few of the cleverly‐ designed LIXOR’s impressive list of potential uses. Wastewater Aeration 101 Aeration is the process of dissolving oxygen into water. In wastewater treatment, adequate aeration and mixing is a key component of successful system design. Dissolved oxygen enables aerobic bacteria and other microorganisms to quickly biodegrade and digest incoming organic matter, significantly reducing the concentration of pollutants in the wastewater. Each LIXOR submerged aeration system is designed to achieve reliable aeration and mixing performance efficiencies. Individual or multiple LIXORs may be used in many ways as part of your overall wastewater plant design to help achieve desired treatment goals. Each LIXOR system is easily installed into new or existing basins and is equipped with a reliable regenerative blower, the system’s only moving part. LIXORs add a new dimension of flexibility and performance in wastewater system design and upgrades. Figure 1 LIXOR® devices in an aeration tank

10. 10 www.biomicrobics.com SaniTEE® & MyTEE® Screening Info Visit www.biomicrobics.com for more information on systems, specifications, product drawings, resource library, and more! SaniTEE® 8” & 16” Diameter sized “No filter technology on the market is easier to maintain than these!” Effluent filters protect absorption areas from premature clogging and failure due to the release of non- settleable solids and/or non-degradable flushed materials from the septic tank. Effluent filters are installed on the outlet of the septic tank or the last septic tank in-series before distribution to the absorption area. Installation of septic tank effluent filters is an inexpensive method to enhance the effectiveness of a septic tank. These screening devices prevent floatables, large amounts of FOG (fats, oils, and grease), and/or solids from leaving the tank and help to: • extend the life of your system(s) • reduce clogging material • improve flow conditions • allow flexibility in designing the system As an important feature in the treatment process, these screening devices prevent large solids and coarse material from causing undo wear on water treatment equipment or interfering with treatment processes. • Easy, "slip-in" Installation and CIP Maintenance - Installed directly in the outlet tee of tank prior to the drainfield or the treatment tank, these screening devices comes standard with swabbing feature for Clean-in-Place (CIP) maintenance. • Angled Slots resists blinding and prevents clogs inside the filter housing better than mesh-type screens. • Patented Keyhole Weirs (on the SaniTEE® ) provides consistency of flow despite surges. How the Screening Devices Work  As the wastewater enters the tank, light-weight floatables rise to form a scum layer at the water surface;  Sediment and heavy solids settle to the bottom to form the sludge layer.  The ‘clarified' water enters the screen by passing through angled slots.  Screened water is discharged for further treatment in the Treatment Zone. TO CLEAN: any solids that become trapped in the angled slots can be easily dislodged with a simple pull of the swab handle(s). Extension rods can easily be added to handles for a custom fit.

13. www.biomicrobics.com 13 ADDITIONAL OPTIONS: ABC®-N Anoxic Biofilter Clarifier Denitrification Device  Additional TN Removal The ABC® -N denitrification device is designed primarily for use as a denitrification (nitrate reducing) device when exceptional levels of nitrogen reduction are required. A carbon feed system (by others) supplies a carbon source, and the ABC® -N promotes the growth of bacteria that denitrifies nitrified wastewater from most wastewater flows. The ABC® -N system combines naturally occurring bacteria (biomass) with an external carbon source to denitirify wastewater that has been nitrified by an upstream aeration system such as FAST® . This is a continuous process provided; the biomass is supplied with food (carbon) and oxygen (nitrate molecule) in a suitable environment. The ABC® -N process consists of the treatment module with re-circulation pump and assembly. The re-circulation pump and assembly mixes nitrates (NO3) and carbon throughout the media inside the tank. Bacteria grows on the media and uses the nitrates as oxygen, thereby transforming the nitrates into harmless nitrogen gas (N2). Dead bacteria and non-biodegradable waste settle and accumulate in the bottom of the septic tank as sludge for periodic removal. Key things you need to know for your system: The flow for a residence is usually determined at the local regulatory level. Typically each bedroom is assigned a value for the number of GPD of wastewater it will contribute to the overall sewer.  Local Regulatory Guidelines  Number of Persons of occupancy ABC®‐N Available Sizes ABC®-N 0.5 500GPD 1990LPD ABC®-N .75 750GPD 2839LPD ABC®-N 1.0 900GPD 3410LPD ABC®-N 1.5 1500GPD 5680LPD ABC®-N 3.0 3000GPD 13160LPD ABC®-N 4.5 4500GPD 17026LPD ABC®-N 9.0 9000GPD 34053LPD

19. www.biomicrobics.com 19 SeptiTech® STAAR™ Filter Systems Unobtrusive and dependable, the SeptiTech® residential STAAR™ (Smart Trickling Anaerobic Aerobic Recirculating) Filter Systems are ETV‐ EPA verified, NSF/ANSI Standard 40 class 1 and NSF/ANSI Standard 245 certified. Whether installed in plastic or locally‐sourced concrete tanks, this decentralized wastewater treatment system utilizes an enhanced, biological, unsaturated media filter process. The passive aeration method sprays oxygenated water over the biofilter media and allows it to trickle through the media for optimum growth. The patented SeptiTech® STAAR™ filter systems high reduction BOD/TSS/TN accommodates peak flows; batch treatment; nitrogen removal; and ideal for direct discharge and water reuse applications. With minimal operator oversight, the automatic operation of the STAAR system uses a PLC‐based controller for continuous operation, time‐dosing, field process customization, automatic recirculation of wasted sludge to the settling tank, self‐cleaning media/processor, and Sleep Mode for enhanced energy efficiency. With an optional UV disinfection system, SeptiTech® technology’s clean effluent is very compatible with shallow drip, direct discharge, pressure distribution, or conventional leach fields.

20. 20 www.biomicrobics.com SeptiTech® STAAR® Treatment Process Wastewater (influent) enters a two‐ chambered primary septic tank for settling and anoxic treatment. Wastewater then flows from the primary settling zone into the bottom of the processing tank via gravity, where it mixes with nitrified treated effluent. With two small submerged pumps, one (recirculation) draws the wastewater combination over the bead media with air passively fed through the venturis intake airline where the aerobic bacteria facilitate nitrification. After trickling through the filter, the other pump (return) sends accumulated “active sludge” from the bottom of the processor tank back ahead of the primary tank to enter with influent to start the process all over again and where denitrification can occur. A portion of the effluent in the reservoir is pumped back to the septic tank for further denitrification. The discharge pump “micro doses” the clarified treated effluent from the decant chamber for dispersal. SeptiTech patented, PLC controlled, onsite wastewater treatment systems for residential and commercial applications. The STAARTM smart technology is known in the industry for its design versatility and ability to accommodate non‐standard applications such as high strength waste and strict effluent requirements.

61. www.biomicrobics.com 61 MyFAST® HS‐STP™ System with Sludge Management Based on the obvious need for cost effective and sustainable solutions, studies have been conducted in cooperation with community and environmental groups to develop less centralized and more environmentally beneficial wastewater treatment systems. The possibility of using a decentralized MyFAST® High Strength Sewage Treatment Plants (HS‐STP™) in place of expanding existing centralized plants makes more sense when focusing on pretreatment or water reuse opportunities. With a self‐contained, MyFAST HS‐STP, it is possible to have access to reliable, affordable water supplies and infrastructure to sustain community growth. Several considerations, including operation and maintenance and sludge management, need to be taken into account with Innovative, decentralized sewage treatment technologies; and Bio‐Microbics has done this by providing Sludge Management zones: BMS (BioSolids Management systems) and AMS (Aeration Management Systems) on such Sewage Treatment Plant as the MyFAST HS‐STP. Decentralized concepts are generally not taught in engineering schools as the centralized approach is generally understood by academics and passed on to students. Universities have been teaching town planners, engineers, architects, graduate students, doctorates, and professors, the art of water and air contamination with little or no question about the ecology or environmental concerns. Unfortunately, there is much in the way of education for conventional or centralized municipal design, but lacks in teaching the benefits of decentralized treatment solutions. Since the education isn’t there, regulatory and financing rules generally discourage their use. With dense urban populations a centralized plant seems well‐suited; however in this economic climate, the thought that smaller communities must have a large complicated treatment plant must be challenged and corrected. Decentralized solutions help to enhance the typical engineering that goes into building for better water management and permit more communities to be addressed by limited assistance funds (US EPA). The approach that the Fixed Integrated Treatment Technology (FITT®) process takes of the MyFAST system is to employ preaeration (AMS Zone) to mix and start to degrade the sewage before it enters the actual treatment zone. This eliminates the need for pumping of the primary settling before the treatment zone. The pre‐aerated wastewater flows to the treatment tank where bacteria and higher life forms become ‘fixed’ to the honeycomb media inside the MyFAST units. Better able to cope with surges and provide higher removal rates for organic material, the growth on the media thickens and sloughs off from the media by the aeration process and settle to the bottom of the treatment zone for removal. Technology Innovation for Commercial Outlets Frost & Sullivan did research focusing on decentralized wastewater treatment for commercial outlets, their findings resulted in alarming urbanization and population rates are continue to increase exponentially. Commercial outlets, such as shopping malls, restaurants, grocery stores, etc., generate a substantial quantity of high strength wastewater. When this wastewater is channeled through a centralized sewer line, this increases construction costs dramatically. In addition, poorly controlled wastewater discharge into nearby bodies of water or the subsurface will contaminate the ecosystem and adversely affect public health. As a result, decentralized wastewater treatment systems have become an attractive option for dealing with wastewater at the point of generation. Frost & Sullivan’s research has found that the FAST Fixed Integrated Treatment Technology, with its new advancements in decentralized wastewater systems, have made these systems easy to install, reliable, effective, and affordable. "Bio‐Microbics’ FAST technology has successfully met stringent treatment standards, thus causing a major headache for the competition who’s systems are not able to offer these reuse options." Frost & Sullivan believes that this

62. 62 www.biomicrobics.com reuse feature will open up a number of application opportunities for the FAST technology, especially with commercial outlets where the ability to generate large quantities of recycled water is possible. Decentralized sewage treatment technologies are ideal for projects with land constraints and flows of up to 160,000 gallons per day or more. An important advantage to onsite wastewater systems is the ability to design systems to treat wastewater and develop ‘reuse opportunities’. As most of the treatment occurs inside the tank, the effluent is more than 95% free from solid and waste. The treated wastewater is then available to replenish groundwater and aquifers, or in some cases, it could be made available for grey water reuse. Water reuse opportunities include use in toilets for flushing, lawn and landscape irrigation, firefighting, and more. Frost & Sullivan’s unbiased research compares the FAST technology verses competitors in its marketplace and recognized the FAST system with its consistent performance, easy installation, and minimal maintenance requirements. "In addition, the FAST system boasts long‐term reliability; while complying with global regulations. These factors, in concert with the cost/time saved on maintenance and install [when compared to competing systems], will provide customers with unmatched value and optimal ROI," according to the Frost & Sullivan Report. With versatile design and flow rate, the FAST technology maintains consistent high performance, low maintenance, as well as sludge management all in one tank. FAST technology’s short retention time (24 to 36 hours) will allow commercial outlet owners to treat wastewater on a daily basis. As the population increases and urbanization moves forward, the adoption of these systems is expected to increase with the ability to repurpose the treated water making this system even more compelling. Frost & Sullivan views Bio‐Microbics’ FAST technology as an excellent addition to the Decentralized Wastewater Treatment Systems market, especially given its ‘green’ wastewater recycle capabilities. The treated effluent from a decentralized treatment unit, as in the case from the FAST system, can then be discharged into a drain field to recharge groundwater or it can be made available for water reuse, such as subsurface landscape irrigation. With further disinfection it can be used for surface or spray irrigation or even for toilet flushing. Conclusion Whether the project is to help defer plant expansion, promote pretreatment, post secondary upgrade options, or to develop the entire treatment scheme, decentralized technologies can help to reduce costs and greatly contribute to the health and well‐being of the community. Cities cannot ignore the infrastructure issues they are facing today or those that may be coming in the next few years. As water‐related issues escalate in major cities across the world, the important role of water must be recognized and smartly managed to improve conditions for people, the environment and job growth. Poor management or a gap in infrastructure means a community is vulnerable to higher water rates, greater long‐term debt and future economic challenges.

Decentralized treatment systems are gaining in popularity for returning treated water to the local environment. BioMicrobics’ MyFAST® High Strength Sewage Treatment Plants (HS‐STP™), offering versatility in design and flow rates, are used as an alternative to expanding existing centralized plants. The self‐contained MyFAST HS‐STP provides reliable, affordable water supplies, and infrastructure that sustains community growth, according to the US‐based company in Shawnee, Kansas. Builders and developers searching for reasonable wastewater treatment options for projects with land constraints, opportunities for direct discharge, groundwater recharge, and water reuse opportunities are requesting advanced onsite treatment systems. These factors, with the cost and time saved with installation and maintenance compared to competing systems, provide customers with unmatched value and optimal return on investment, according to the 2011 Frost & Sullivan, Water & Wastewater Technology Innovation for Commercial Outlets Report. FAST® technology is fitting for clustered communities and commercial outlets. Large decentralized systems with flows up to 600 cubic meters per day benefit with BioMicrobics quick and easy installation and cost advantages of MyFAST high performance, low maintenance and sludge management in one tank. Decentralized systems, installed as an alternative to sewers, should address considerations such as operation and maintenance, as well as sludge management. Bio‐Microbics does this by providing sludge management zones: BioSolids Management Systems (BMS) and Aeration Management Systems (AMS) on sewage treatment plants reducing costs for communities and individuals. BioMicrobics Fixed Integrated Treatment Technology (FITT®) process approach of the MyFAST system uses pre‐aeration (AMS Zone), mixing, and degrading sewage before it enters the treatment zone. The MyFAST system enables simultaneous aeration, mixing and self‐cleaning of the attached growth inside the tank. This eliminates the need for pumping primary to settle before the treatment zone. Complete with effective, pre‐engineered air delivery system to aid in robust circulation of wastewater, pre‐aerated wastewater flows to the treatment tank where bacteria and higher life forms flow through the media’s channeled path and become “fixed” to the media inside the MyFAST unit. This treatment process achieves higher percentage nitrogen removal rates. MyFAST copes with surges and provides higher removal rates for organic material. Growth on the media thickens and sloughs off during the aeration process, settling to the bottom of the treatment zone for removal. Effluent is more than 95 percent removed of solids and waste. Treated water is then available to replenish groundwater and aquifers, or made available for greywater reuse.
