    9. Our Business GE Water & Process Technologies brings together experienced professionals and advanced technologies to solve the world’s most complex challenges related to water availability and quality, increased productivity and cost reduction, and environmental regulations. Six mega-trends that we follow…help direct our technology investments and focus our efforts to drive growth and meet the world’s greatest challenges Water Scarcity: Water scarcity will affect over three billion people by 2025, while global water demand is expected to increase by 40% for industry, agriculture and domestic use Solutions: Reduce consumption, recover wasted water, reuse wherever possible, replenish when necessary Imagination Breakthrough: Reduce desalination cost through innovative technologies to reduce the energy consumption…50% of cost of operating a desalination plant Waterborne Disease Every eight seconds a child dies from drinking contaminated water. 8,600 people each day die…more than AIDS…third largest killer globally Imagination Breakthrough: Advanced biodetection systems for early identification and tracking of harmful pathogen threats…prevention of disease with membrane barrier systems Growth of Developing Nations 80% of global population growth is expected to occur in developing countries by 2020. By 2025, developing countries will use more water for industrial processes than developed countries. Imagination Breakthrough: Combining solar power with advanced membrane filtration systems in a compact, easy-to-use and durable system that can bring clean water to thousands of rural villages and leap-frogs costly infrastructure needs. Rising Cost of Energy World energy demand is expected to increase by more than 50% by 2030. Two-thirds of the increase will come from developing countries. Imagination Breakthrough: Wastewater to Energy, generating biogas and burning in Jenbacher engine…produces power and pure water New Stringent Regulations Regulations are constantly evolving and being adopted throughout the world…Over half of the water available for human use is polluted. Imagination Breakthrough: Develop natural biological processes to breakdown harmful industrial by-products to non-toxic elements in a simple, low cost system. Massive Infrastructure Needs $31 trillion global investment is required over the next 25 years in water and power infrastructure. By 2015, there will be 25 "megacities" with a population greater than 10 million, which will place unprecedented challenges on industrial, municipal and agricultural infrastructure. Imagination Breakthrough: Leverage existing underground sewer infrastructure to act as a pretreatment process, deferring expansion and construction on new costly treatment plants…distributed wastewater treatmentSix mega-trends that we follow…help direct our technology investments and focus our efforts to drive growth and meet the world’s greatest challenges Water Scarcity: Water scarcity will affect over three billion people by 2025, while global water demand is expected to increase by 40% for industry, agriculture and domestic use Solutions: Reduce consumption, recover wasted water, reuse wherever possible, replenish when necessary Imagination Breakthrough: Reduce desalination cost through innovative technologies to reduce the energy consumption…50% of cost of operating a desalination plant Waterborne Disease Every eight seconds a child dies from drinking contaminated water. 8,600 people each day die…more than AIDS…third largest killer globally Imagination Breakthrough: Advanced biodetection systems for early identification and tracking of harmful pathogen threats…prevention of disease with membrane barrier systems Growth of Developing Nations 80% of global population growth is expected to occur in developing countries by 2020.

    10. Global Challenges … Global Mega Trends Customer Challenges Availability - With conventional sources of water such as surface and groundwater already under heavy stress in many areas around the world, the demand for water continues to outstrip current available supply. This mounting gap between demand and supply means significant opportunities exist to redirect and reuse municipal and industrial wastewater in order to create a more sustainable water source. Today, GE’s proven technologies in water reclamation, advanced wastewater treatment and reuse make it possible for municipalities and businesses to implement sustainable reuse programs that help them save money, generate new sources of revenue, and help address environmental concerns. Many leading municipalities and water agencies are leveraging GE’s expertise to safely reclaim, treat and redirect the treated effluent to a variety of applications, including agriculture and industry. Quality - With over 70 percent of the planet covered by water, many have viewed these bodies as a limitless supply. However, few have considered the impact of global warming, pollution and other activities that can impair that water which communities and industry rely upon. Today, the quality of our world’s ground water is becoming desperate. GE continues to develop advanced solutions that treat extremely impaired waters thus providing a high-quality water source that can be used for a variety of purposes. Environment - Increasing government regulations are requiring that industries such as chemical, refining, mining, and oil & gas reduce – or eliminate – the amount of potentially hazardous wastewater discharged at their sites. GE’s technologically advanced solutions treat impaired wastewater and manage water levels without discharging impurities, helping customers turn industrial wastewater into a new, high-quality water source that can be redirected into their industrial processes or safely discharged into the environment. Energy - Not only are water and energy resources critical to the well-being of the world’s growing population, they are also intrinsically dependent on each other. In simple terms, energy is required to produce water, and water is required to produce energy. With water demand tripling in the next 20 years and energy demand doubling over the same period, we must act now to stem the potential damage that could be brought about by this unprecedented growth. GE is providing comprehensive water/energy-related solutions, including on-site reuse technologies, wastewater-to-energy systems, distributed power, information management and remote monitoring, and diagnostics and control. In the end out customers are concerned with these mega trends, but they are very concerns with productivity …doing more with less. Productivity - As plant equipment and utility systems begin to age, operators seek ways to increase efficiency and productivity, and, ultimately, protect their assets and extend their life cycles. Water deficits cause additional constraints to productivity. GE is exploring ways to make industry more efficient through new water and process technologies and discovering new ways to help plants save energy and run more reliably. In addition, our researchers are focused on detecting, predicting and preventing plant malfunctions for safer, more productive and cleaner plant operations.Availability - With conventional sources of water such as surface and groundwater already under heavy stress in many areas around the world, the demand for water continues to outstrip current available supply.
