How does Lystek do it?

LYSTEK TECHNOLOGY

Patented technology utilizes a combination of heat

(temperature), high shear mixing and pH adjustment using

potassium hydroxide or other alkali solution

Breakthrough discovery creates safe, high solid (15-20%), low

viscosity, liquid fertilizer product

Effective treatment of dewatered raw sludges, and digested

municipal and industrial wastewater organics

8/18

What are the benefits?

IDEAL FOR ONSITE OPERATION

Small equipment footprint - operate onsite

Simple, proven, low cost equipment and operation

Fully automated process limited operator attention can be

operated by existing unionized staff

Can easily be integrated with dewatering equipment - centrifuge,

belt press, rotary press


9/18

What are the benefits?

BETTER ENVIRONMENTAL & SOCIAL PERFORMANCE

Produce a Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) registered

high solids liquid fertilizer product onsite

Eliminates odour complaints

- Fully enclosed from onsite processing to land application

Dust Free

No Risk of Fire

CFIA registered product can be stored virtually anywhere

The Lystek Product

Before Lystek Process

Dewatered biosolid cake(15% - 20% solids)

After Lystek Process

Liquid biosolid product(15% - 20% solids)

Trucking of Liquid Fertilizerin Sealed Tankers

Application via DirectInjection into Soil)

12/18

and what else?

IMPROVED ENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCE

Fertilizer remains stable through freeze-thaw cycles proven,

homogeneous and pumpable

Pathogen free, no detectable regrowth during long term storage

(tested up to three years)

Produces a saleable liquid fertilizer product with a current

nutrient value of about $80 - $100/dry tonne


13/18

Other benefits?

ENHANCED PERFORMANCE OF ANAEROBIC DIGESTERS

Recycle lysed biosolids to Anaerobic Digester and BNR systems:

- Reduces biosolids generation > 30%

- Increases biogas yields > 40%

- Reduces storage requirements

Data from Guelph Project available for review


14/18

Other benefits?

ENHANCED PERFORMANCE OF ANAEROBIC DIGESTERS

A combination of heat, alkali and shear breaks the cells and lysed

biosolids provide a valuable and readily available source of

nutrient feedstock for the anaerobic microorganisms

Highly sheared and liquefied Lystek biosolids can improveconversion of volatile fatty acids by the anaerobic

microorganisms in the primary digestion process to increase

methane production and reduce biosolids volume by increasing

organic utilization rate
