Thursday, October 18, 2018
CLEARAS Water Recovery
Brian Richichi
COMPANY BACKGROUND
• Founded in 2008 and headquartered in Missoula, Montana
with satellite offices in Oregon and Nevada.
• Recently listed in Water Environment Federation Nutrient
Roadmap publication.
• Growth driven by our performance, people and
relationships.
• Differentiated solution optimizing the relationship
between natural processes and equipment to achieve best-
in-class water quality and a competitive total cost of
ownership.
• Experienced team: power generation, civil infrastructure /
engineering, information systems, renewable energy and
financial services.
• Integration of world class supply chain partners.
CLEARAS has worked methodically through biological and mechanical optimization in addition to market validation efforts adding long-term and sustainable growth opportunities.
OUR EXPERIENCE
Project results driving growth opportunities. Over 25,000,000 gallons treated through technology demonstration efforts.

System process and controls mimic traditional activated sludge plants.
WISCONSIN PERFORMANCE – PHOSPHORUS
Data set includes 234 separate trials. Average incoming phosphorus = 1.91 mg/LAverage treated phosphorus = 0.02 mg/L
WISCONSIN PERFORMANCE – NITROGEN
Data set includes 234 separate trials. Average incoming ammonia = 14.09 mg/LAverage treated ammonia = 0.49 mg/L

COMMERCIAL SUCCESS
South Davis Sewer District
$28M ABNR project announced May 2017with a commission date of spring 2019.
Co-construction of food waste to energy(producing 2,500 dekatherms of nat. gas)with ABNR creates an economic system tosupport the circular economy.
Extends the life of existing / agingwastewater infrastructure.
ABNR results in: 4 MGD of the highest quality reuse
water (3.0 mg/L TP to < 0.035 mg/L) 17,500 lbs. of CO2 recycled daily 8,000 lbs. of algal biomass daily 100% of biomass being sold for
plastics and foams Residual income stream to customer
From WASTE to VALUE!

CO-PRODUCT OPPORTUNITY
ABNR yields an algal biomasswhich can be sourced into adiverse range of markets.
Opportunity for municipal andindustrial facilities to recovercosts associated with thecapital expenditure of ABNR.
Residual income stream backto the facility throughout theuseful life of the project.

ALGAE Advantage
An ideal fertilizer, it both provides nitrogen and phosphorous and increases moisture retention – applications have shown outstanding results
• Key ingredient in natural food colorants
• High in Omega 3s, APAs, and Antioxidants used in Nutraceuticals, Cosmetics and Pharma
• Most likely protein replacement choice
Proven in non-performing (filler) plastics – does not degrade functioning polymers
• High in fermentable carbohydrates
• Algae oil produces a superior surfactant
• Cell is easily lyced for access to cellular contents
High Lipid content vis-à-vis other biofuel feedstocks
