  1. Tank & Sludge Pit Remediation PetroGenesis Advanced Petroleum Recovery Tank Cleaning using HCD Multi-Flow • Over 400% Return on Investment • Greater than 95% of Sludge Converted to Saleable Oil • Personnel safe - No Entry Method for Tank Cleaning • Environmentally Friendly • Proven Effective 1

  2. PetroGenesis Tank & Sludge Pit Remediation HCD Multi-Flow HCD Multi-Flow is a concentrated re-liquification product using the most innovative chemistries available in liquifying heavy tank sludge or residual oil found in storage tanks or pits. Specifically effective in waxy and asphaltene laden crudes HCD Multi-Flow is also designed to re-mediate petroleum based compounds such as heavy oils by replacing the lost volatile fractions with temperature resistant molecules which do not vent easily. The product is organic in nature with no catalyst poisoning. The product produces a long lasting effect of creating flow able crudes without wax reformation. 2

  3. PetroGenesis Tank & Sludge Pit Remediation HOW IT WORKS: HCD Multi-Flow re-liquifys the hydrocarbon chain in the deposit on contact, reducing the heavy asphaltene and paraffin deposits within the sludge. This process converts it into a more easily transferable state, greatly reducing tank cleanup times. Profits increase markedly due to reduction in clean up time without taking the tank “off Line”! • APPLICATIONS: • Oil storage tanks (cleanup & re-liquification) • Oil tankers • Oil rigs • Sludge Pits • Already documented established use with Petronas Carigali in ABU Cluster • Already passed extensive Laboratory testing with Petronas utilized Laboratory (Nano C Bhd) • HSE safe with no BTX ingredients in formulation (100% Organic) 3

  7. PetroGenesis Tank & Sludge Pit Remediation In Line Tank Cleaning Protocol (10,000 MT) • Step 1: Analysis • Calculate total amount of waste based on tank diameter, sludge depth, sludge type • and thickness of deposition on tank walls. Ultrasonic's may be utilized. • Calculate total amount of HCD Multi-Flow required to perform tank cleaning • based on volume and type of sludge. • Perform sludge analysis to determine total percentage of available hydrocarbon in • sludge deposit. • Step 2: System Set-Up • Re-circulation Pumps • Chemical Feed Pump • Diesel Injection Pump (optional) • Cloud 750 high-pressure spray nozzles (or equivalent) • N2 agitation system with lances • Wastewater tank (volume to be determined) • Solids waste tank (volume to be determined) • 3 Cyclone separator (centrifugal separator 3 phase preferred) • Oil skimmer (for waste-water tank) (Abanaki or equivalent) • Small skimmer oil holding tank • Miscellaneous valves for isolation and sampling and piping 7

  8. PetroGenesis Tank & Sludge Pit Remediation In Line Tank Cleaning Protocol (10,000 MT) • Step 3: Cleaning Process • Product required: (2 gallons of HCD Multi-Flow per MT and 12 gallons diesel per MT) • N2 Required: (62,500 m3 Nitrogen in 5 ISO approved containers) • Additional: (2 ISO Tanks with required hoses, lances and fittings) • Lower the floating roof to 2.5 meters above the base plate. • Configure the chemical and diesel in accordance to chart #1 at a 1:6 ratio (1 part HCD Multi-Flow to 6 parts diesel. All products stored and fed from ISO -5 type holding tanks. • Configure Nitrogen and heater setup • Configure lance arrangement on the floating roof • Configure “short lance” arrangement at drains via taps • Reduce tank volume to residual gels (adjust to minimal flow) • Divert incoming crude to “spare tank” for 72 to 96 hours • Turn on tank Impellers, agitators or recirculation pumps (whatever is available to tank design) • 1st Prime: 8 Bar delivery of HCD Multi-Flow and diesel (approximately 20%) • 1st Agitation: 8 Bar warm N2 agitation for 12 hours • Educt or pump discharge from tank based on setup • 2nd Prime: 8 Bar delivery of HCD Multi-Flow and diesel (approximately 20%) • 2nd Agitation: 8 Bar warm N2 agitation for 12 hours 8

  9. PetroGenesis Tank & Sludge Pit Remediation In Line Tank Cleaning Protocol (10,000 MT) • Step 3: Process continued • Educt or pump discharge from tank based on tank based on setup • 3rd Prime: 8 Bar delivery of Carbon Chemistry and Diesel (approximately 20%) • 3rd Agitation: 8 Bar agitation of warm N2 and agitate 12 hours • Educt or pump discharge from tank based on tank setup • 4th Prime: 8 Bar delivery of Carbon Chemistry and Diesel (approximately 20%) • 4th Agitation:8 Bar agitation of warm N2 and agitate 12 hours • Educt or pump discharge from tank based on tank setup • 5th Prime: 8 Bar delivery of Carbon Chemistry and Diesel (approximately 20%) • 5th Agitation: 8 Bar agitation of warm N2 and agitate for 12 hours • Educt or pump discharge from tank based on tank setup • Evaluate Sludge Profile Utilizing Ultrasonic methodology • Evaluate the Oil to Water ratio and compare what is entering and exiting the tank • In above steps all eduction and or pumping from tanks can be run through a 3 phase centrifugal separator setup and separate the oil from the water from the sediment as is seen in the attached flow diagram. • The water/oil mixture is sent to a small holding tank where the oil is skimmed off the top with • an Abauaki Skimming Unit or equivalent into an oil tote. Residual oil will be absorbed by the • “Oil Sponge”. The oil free water is tested and allowed to discharge once • water specifications are met. 9

  10. PetroGenesis Tank & Sludge Pit Remediation In Line Tank Cleaning Protocol (10,000 MT) • Step 4: De-Mobilization • Once oxygen concentration is above 20%, the tank can be opened and inspected. If • necessary, a final manual cleaning may be performed before the final tank inspection. • Equipment tear down should require approximately 2 – 3 days. 10

  11. PetroGenesis Tank & Sludge Pit Remediation Product Quantity Required * All product requirements based on a two foot sludge depth average. ** Typically sludge has developed on the tank walls and should also be accounted for. • Notes: • Approximately 1.5 to 2 gallons of HCD Multi-Flow per metric ton of sludge. • 2. Approximately 8 to 15 gallons of diesel per metric ton of sludge • Oil Specification: • Bottom sediments and water: 22% • Salt counted: <20 ppm • API Specific Gravity: >16 11

  12. PetroGenesis Tank & Sludge Pit Remediation In Line Tank Cleaning Protocol (10,000 MT) Vapor Suppression: Vapor suppression inside the tanks is an essential part of tank cleaning techniques. Vapor suppression is achieved by HCD Multi-Flow which brings LEL’s to BDL within minutes of spraying the product inside the tank ready for cleaning. All the tanks, whether fixed roof or floating roof, will have volatile hydrocarbon vapors accumulated in the upper clearance of the tanks. The vapors are hazardous to men and potentially explosive. Conventionally, the tanks are allowed to be aired or ventilator exhaust fans are used to circulate the vapors out of the tank. The exhausts are placed on the tank roofs for ventilating the tanks. Safety and Fire Fighting: Fire extinguishers and suitable fire fighting equipment will be placed at various locations throughout the tank cleaning site. “No human entry” is the key to the safety of this system. This means that personnel are not exposed to hazardous substances. Constant monitoring for hydrocarbon vapors and vapor oxygen levels will be monitored to ensure oxygen levels stay relatively low with no ignition opportunity. Highly trained operators following approved safety procedures are the key to safety. 12

  13. PetroGenesis Tank & Sludge Pit Remediation Case Study #1 : Pemex Tank Cleaning - TV-1-2264 (No Entry Method) The HCD Multi-Flow product was used to perform safe and effective tank cleanings in a fraction of the time required using conventional cleaning methods. The No Entry tank cleaning method with HCD Multi-Flow product reduces sludge viscosity and allows rapid and effective separation of the tank sludge into three production streams while ensuring no personnel entry and a highly efficient hydrocarbon retrieval system. This system maximizes extraction of saleable oil from the sludge in the tank bottom in a rapid and cost effective manner. 13
