3. SCIENCE
KEY INSIGHT
▸ Deep thinking on marginally soluble species
▸ TSS ➔ Scale Formers ➔ TDS
▸ Precipitate + Glue together = Filterable Particles
▸ Nucleation sites (Fe, S, paraffin, bacteria etc) ➔
Ions (Ca, Mg, Ba, carbonate)
▸ Water contaminants vary in stability - so knock out
least stable first

11. TOP LEVEL EVALUATION
ECONOMICS?
▸ Budget estimate $1/bbl through micro-filtration.
Depends on:
▸ incoming water
▸ desired product water
▸ by-product disposal
▸ Results = viable at prevailing market rates
▸ Total Value of Ownership [TVO] =
Disposal + Freshwater + Transport + Brine + Social
12. TIMING?
▸ 6-8 weeks for Lab Study (first results)
▸ OR 5 gpm Mini Demo
▸ 3-4 months for Construction
▸ 6-8 weeks for Commissioning - could know quickly
