Transforming Wastewater Streams into

Revenue StreamsThermoEnergy Corporaon has spent nearly two decades developing

sustainable water treatment and recovery systems that help industry andmunicipalies operate more eciently, save money, reduce carbon their

footprints, and meet their sustainability goals.

Award-Winning TechnologyOur versale, award-winning CAST (Controlled Atmospheric Separaon

Technology), RCAST, and high-ow TurboCAST systems can be ulized as

an eecve stand-alone wastewater, chemicals, metals, or nutrient recovery

system, or as part of an integrated site-wide recovery soluon. These state-

of-the-art vacuum assisted disllaon units oer signicant advantages over

other evaporave technologies such as thin lm and nucleate boiling.

They are specially designed for high-strength wastewaters with high Total

Dissolved Solids and Total Suspended Solids typically found in industrial,

municipal and agricultural recovery processes.

In industrial applicaons, our Zero-Liquid-Discharge (ZLD) Systems can

recover nearly 100% of your valuable chemical resources or wastewater

for immediate reuse of recycling with no liquid leaving your facility. CAST

concentrates mixed hazardous waste down to as lile as 5% of its original

volume for economical disposal or reclaim. This patented technology

is designed and constructed to exceed the demands of harsh chemical

environments.

ThermoEnergys TurboFrac and FracGen systems provide versale

and cost eecve soluons to recover and recycle clean, usable water

from contaminated produce water created by the hydraulic fracturing

(hydrofracking) of oil and gas wells.

Fast Return on InvestmentThermoEnergy wastewater recovery system reduce your costs by recovering

process chemistry, metals, and clean water for reuse or recycling, and by

eliminang most of your costly disposal of hazardous waste or process

euent. These soluons oer a solid return on your investment and a quick

payback on your inial investment, with connued savings and eciency

for years to come.

Creang New Supplies of Usable

Water and Recycling Wastewater

in Oil and Gas Hydrofracking

Where fresh water is scarce, deploying ThermoEnergy

FracGensystems to recover useable water from local

brine sources can save millions of dollars that would

have to be spent on purchasing and trucking in fresh

water from distant locaons, and would protect andextend potable water supplies in locaons where

usable water is available.

Recover and Recycle Ammonia in

Municipal/Industrial OperaonsAt ThermoEnergy, we dont just treat wastewater

we recover the value in it. Our Ammonia Recovery

Process (ARP) can recover 90% or more of the ammonia

in digestate streams, and reuse or recycle the ammonia

as ammonium sulfate or ammonium nitrate ferlizer.

A number of states have already adapted a nutrient

credit and trading system for nitrogen, and the trendis expected to accelerate. This oers another revenue

stream in addion to ammonium nitrate/sulfate

ferlizer recovery and accelerates the payback on

the ThermoEnergy ARP.

Higher Eciency, Lower

Operang and Capital CostsThermoEnergy soluons for ammonia recovery are

far more ecient and cost-eecve than tradional

technologies. They oer lower capital and operang

costs along with a much smaller footprint than other

nutrient treatment technologies. As a retrot to

an exisng wastewater plant, a ThermoEnergy ARP

System can reduce or eliminate the need for enhanced

nitrogen removal.

ThermoEnergy systems are easy to operate and

maintain. Because they are manufactured, you avoid

the capital costs associated with the design and

construcon of in-place systems. And because they

recover ammonia rather than just treang it, your

costs are signicantly lower.

ThermoEnergys TurboFrac system is a cost-eecve

soluon to recover and recycle clean, usable water from

contaminated owback and produced water created by

the hydraulic fracturing (hydrofracking) of oil and gas

wells. In addion to recovering usable water for reuse,

these systems can concentrate the chemicals and other

impuries for recycling or safe, cost-ecient disposal.

The cost of transporng clean water to hydrofracking sites,and then transporng contaminated frack water back out for disposal,

has created a huge market for frack water generaon and recycling.

Recovering the Value in Wastewater

Recovering Ammonia from

Anaerobic DigestersThermoEnergy can help you turn your anaerobic

digester wastewater streams into revenue streams.

Our Thermo ARP high-eciency ammonia removal and

recovery system is an unbeatable opon for municipal

and industrial operators of anaerobic digesters at dairy,

cale, and chicken farms who want to both comply

with nitrogen regulaons and recover ammonia as a

valuable product. Thermo ARP recycles the ammonia in

anaerobic digester wastewater into ammonium sulfate

or ammonium nitrate for the producon of valuable

ferlizers and industrial products. Thermo ARP systems

are energy ecient, extremely robust, and compact

suitable for even rugged eld condions

Recover 99% of Chemicals or

Metals in Your WastewaterThermoEnergys CAST wastewater treatment and

recovery systems oer your manufacturing operaon

a low-cost, sustainable soluon that is capable of

recovering up to 99% of the process chemistry and

metals in your process wastewater, including: glycol,

acids/bases, ammonia, chromium, copper, zinc, nickel

or other transion metals.

ThermoEnergy also oers a Zero Liquid Discharge System

that can separate process chemicals and impuries in

your wastewater streams, so your water is 100% reusable

and does not have to be disposed of in a sanitary sewer

system. In fact, only ThermoEnergy CAST systems

have a wrien EPA RCRA exempon for a Zero LiquidDischarge System in this applicaon.

A Beer Alternave for Wastewater

Recovery in PV Solar ManufacturingPhotovoltaic solar panels, like computer chips are

essenally semiconductor wafers made with silicon.Some of the newer PV materials may use expensive

metals such as cadmium, selenium, rare earths, and

transion metals. In addion, PV modules are oen

imbedded with chemicals. The wastewater produced by

PV manufacturing contains many hazardous chemicals,

including heavy metals, halogenated compounds, acids

and organic contaminants. Currently, most manufacturers

cope with the large amounts of contaminated wastewater

by treatment and disposal. The waste is usually

concentrated through bag lters oen at high costs

and is then sent to a waste disposal company. As an

alternave, ThermoEnergy oers a Zero Liquid Discharge

(ZLD) system that is based on vacuum evaporaon andash disllaon. Our system is actually able to disll

puried water out of the waste stream, recycling almost

100% of the water, and nearly eliminang the need to

add potable water to the process. More than 90% of the

process chemicals and acids can be concentrated out of

the waste stream and then reused in the manufacturing

process as-is, or aer minimal treatment.

Recover and Recycle Glycol from

Spent Aircra Deicing Fluid

ThermoEnergys

Thermo ADF Recovery

System can make future

EPA ADF regulaons a

non-issue, and at the

same me, reduce the

cost of aircra deicing

by 25 to 50%.

Glycol is 98% of your ADF formulaon. ThermoEnergys

ADF Glycol Recovery System can economically separate

and recover glycol at concentraons of 1% or higher from

your spent ADF and storm water. The system recovers

your spent glycol at a quality that meets ASTM and GM

specicaons. By recovering glycol, you can also avoid

high discharge costs to the sanitary sewer or high transport

and disposal costs of your storm water. ThermoEnergy

ADF Glycol Recovery Systems oer a simple payback of

two years or less and can reduce your ADF costs between

25% and 50% signicantly lowering the cost of your

deicing operaons.

High-Eciency, Sustainable

Wastewater Treatment Soluons for

Sugar Recovery and BOD Removal in

the Food and Beverage IndustryMost food and beverage wastewaters have high

biological oxygen (BOD) demand from dissolved sugars,

ber, and carbohydrates in their wastewater. BOD

wastewater is oen subject to signicant surcharges

if it is disposed into a sanitary sewer. Typically, food

and beverage companies treat the wastewater BOD

before disposal in the sanitary sewer. ThermoEnergy

can help eliminate the expense of BOD treatment and

disposal by making it economically ecient to recover

and concentrate the soluble sugars. The concentrated

sugars are suitable for resale in a wide variety of

applicaons, including ethanol producon, a marketthat has enormous potenal following the eliminaon

of federal subsidies for corn feedstock.

ThermoEnergy SRS (Sugar Recovery Systems)

integrate best available technologies to achieve the

lowest OPEX/CAPEX, and the highest concentraon

levels of recovered sugar. ThermoEnergy SRS

concentrates sugar bearing wastewater to create

up to a 60 Brix sugar product for use in a variety of

agricultural and renewable fuel market applicaons.

At the same me, the system recovers 100% of the

wastewater for reuse in plant operaons.
