Safe Harbor Statement

3

• A technology company in water.• Founded ten years ago.• Publicly trading on US OTC as “OCLN”.• Our technology has wide application range, so business model

is licensing and joint ventures.• Focusing on early adopters, to shorten the adoption process.• Electro Water Separation™: an award-winning, patented

system, developed entirely in-house.

Who We Are

ProducedWaterMiddleEast2017 ©2017OriginClear,Inc.

4

• EWS is a two-stage process.• Uses electrochemistry in real time (continuous, no chemicals).• Effectively clears up very dirty, very oily water.• Thoroughly proven in the field.

Electro Water Separation™

2015 field test on East Bakersfield Produced water


• First Stage:– Single Step

Extraction™ (SSE)– Direct contact key to

real-time operation– Proprietary design of

anode nested inside cathode.

– Choice of donating or non-donating modes.

EWS Architecture

5

First Stage: contaminated water travels through a series of electrically-charged tubes.


Second Stage: Floated sludge recovery at tank surface.

• Second Stage:– Concentrated material is

drawn into flotation tank.– Hydrolysis causes micro-

bubble cloud.– Material pushed to

surface for removal.• The entire process is

continuous and scalable.

EWS Architecture

7

• Now entering commercial scale around the world with licensees and joint venture partners.

• Wholly owned subsidiary in Texas, complementary membrane solutions available.

• In 2016, developed a next-gen Advanced Oxidation Process, AOx™.

• Now rolling out AOx in combination with EWS.

2017: Where We Stand


• Degrade (oxidize) all organic compounds, including the recalcitrant ones (e.g. drugs, pesticides, endocrine disruptors etc.), VOCs, all the way to mineralization.

• Successfully deactivate bacteria, viruses etc.

• Oxidize heavy metals.

What Can AOx Do?

Source: SSWM: Advanced Oxidation Processes


• Patent filed March 2016 for Advanced Oxidation.– Additional patents & trade secrets in development.

• No reagent injection• AOx is a strictly electro-catalytic process for broad range

oxidation: indirect and direct oxidation.

OriginClear’s Next-Gen AOP

AOx is the low-maintenance, energy-efficient,real-time way to address the wide array ofcontaminants in various wastewater streams,including produced or frack flowback water.


• Unique electrodes configuration• Choice of electrode materials. Donating and non-donating

anode• High mass transfer & pressurized reactor to keep gas in

solution• Pressure released in flotation chamber for immediate

dispersion of gas• Possible retrofit on existing infrastructure

EWS is unique too


Best Value-Added Process


• “EWS PRIME” used for all three trials:– EWS for 90% removal of all non-soluble contaminants & bacteria– Ultra-Filtration polishing to achieve non-detectable levels

• Three Unique Produced & Flowback Water Trials– Gas wells from western slope of Colorado – Niobrara – West Texas Intermediate oil wells – Permian – Heavy oil CSG wells of Bakersfield – Monterey basin

• System throughput: 1000 barrels per day
