Atlantium Advantage Hydro-Optic Disinfection The “Future” Of Disinfection Atlantium Advantage 2007
Who Are We? Worldwide Leader Next Generation Water Disinfection Solutions • Revolutionary Disinfection Technology • Hydro-Optic Disinfection (HOD): • Environmentally friendly • Simple to use and maintain • At a low cost of ownership • Guaranteed performance…
Atlantium Advantage… Red Herring’s List: “Companies Driving the Future of Technology”
Water Disinfection Technologies Today Advantages Issues Chlorination Relatively cheap; Widely used and accepted Disinfection by-products; Taste in food; Ineffective against Cryptosporidium & Giardia; Creates issues for downstream processing - membranes Ozonation Effective; Accepted for some industries Disinfection by-products (Bromates); Hard to control with water quality flux; Difficult working environment; Lots of hidden costs Membranes Reliable; Wide acceptance Expensive to buy & operate; Stops microbes only above certain threshold; Sensitive to chlorine; Backwash treatment and bio-films breed hidden costs over time Heat exchange (pasteurization) Reliable; Wide acceptance Extremely high operational & maintenance costs Conventional UV Environmentally Friendly; Acceptable Microbial Kill 1-3 log range; Deposits & fouling of quartz sleeves; High maintenance; Questionable reliability; Issues with monitoring and control
What is the big news about HOD? Great solutions are simple solutions Conceptual change in conventional thinking… “Water inside the Light” “Light inside the Water”
Conventional UV Many Lamps; Non-Uniform Light Distribution Microbial Escape Routes
HOD Technology Principle “The liquid wave guide” Same principle as in optical fibers: “Total Internal Reflection” No microbial escape routes No lamp fouling due to scale from heat No mechanical cleaners to jam & maintain No mercury in the water from broken lamps
Out-of-the-water light sources 1 Air cooled dry chamber 2 Dual sensor configuration for accurate monitoring 3 Central quartz chamber traps light photons 4 HOD’s Out-of-the-Box Design 1 1 4 2 3 3 Light beams represent how the fiber optic Total Internal Reflection principle works

WATER The HOD Advantage I: Performance & Reliability Uniform Dose Distribution HOD System Non-Uniform Dose Distribution Conventional UV Heat = Sleeve Deposits Requires Frequent Maintenance
WATER The HOD Advantage II: Simple Maintenance HOD System 5 Minutes Replacement No System Downtime Conventional UV Broken Lamps Mercury & Glass Contamination Cumbersome lamp & sleeve replacement System Down & Off-Line
WATER The HOD Advantage III: Monitoring & Control Direct UV Source Measurement HOD System Additional UVT Instrument Assures Delivered Dose Conventional UV Indirect UV Light Measurement (Through Water & Sleeve Fouling)
Dose Distribution Average Track Minimum Dose HOD Performance ValidationDeveloped Dose = Delivered Dose • Accurate Monitoring • On-line UVT Monitoring • Uniform Dose Distribution (No “Low Dose” Tracks) • Validated Dose = Displayed Dose • What you see is what you get • What you get is what you need • What you need is what you want • On-line Lamp Monitoring
The HOD Advantage III: Monitoring and Control State-Of-The-Art Set-Up Control Monitoring
The HOD Advantage III: Monitoring and Control Configurable Validated Dose
