§ Combines BioBlend’s proprietary products with state of the art remedial equipment and techniques to tackle many of the tough contamination issues facing the world today.
§ Our current process is a complete closed loop system, including recovery and treatment of groundwater, followed by reinjection of the treated water mixed with proprietary blends. The system is trailer mounted or can be containerized for shipment throughout the world. Because of the modular design, the process can be adapted for most site specific conditions.
§ Our blends enhance the native microbial growth of any site. Our proprietary
blends not only remove contaminants; they enhance the micro fauna to remove any residual particles that may be left with traditional blends.

Schools and Other Government Building
AMTS: Activated Metal Treatment System
• Created to treat PCB waste in place, thus eliminating the need to continue the legacy by placing the waste in a landfill.
• Only available technology that can destroy PCB in place on construction materials. Occupied buildings can be treated and returned to service in a matter of weeks.
• NASA Patented Technology. Developed to treated PCB contaminated paints at NASA installations. Found to be effective on Paint, Caulk, Concrete, and other Surfaces.
• EPT has developed multiple treatment methods based on the original system: • Direct Application with Activated Paste • Treatment Sock with Paste • Solvent Immersion
Chlorinated Solvents: • Dry Cleaning
• Tetrachloroethylene
• Trichloroethylene
• Industrial Degreaser • Carbon Tetrachloride
• Dichloromethane • Chemical Industry
• Vinyl Chloride
• Military Installations
Emulsified Zero Valent Iron (EZVI) • EZVI was designed as a source area remediation technology.
• Typical source concentrations decrease by 90% within 3 months.
• EZVI composed of food-‐grade surfactant, biodegradable vegetable oil, water, and ZVI • This technology was designed for the in-‐situ treatment of dense non-‐aqueous phase liquids (DNAPLs). • Field-‐tested by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Superfund Innovative Technology Evaluation (SITE) Program
• Treatment method is by Injection or soil mixing

General Description The hyper wettability of our product allows us to get into pores and fissures of surfaces that allow cleaning and recovery of contaminants. Bioblend base product reduces water tension@ 25C to 26.7 dynes/cm Water @ 25C is 72.8 dynes/cm The lower the dynes, the less force is needed to break the cohesive forces among the liquids molecules. ICIS works by electrostatic repulsion and steric hinderance
Mechanism of Oil Recovery
High salinity water compresses divalent bridges that link oil molecules with clay particles. By injecting Rb Aq which contains very low salinity, the electrical compression force is reduced and the bridges are able to expand allowing for a non bridging monovalent ion like Na+ to access and replace the divalent ions. This allows the oil to be swept towards the producing well.

Rebound Aq Superlatives
§ Highly compatible with all nonionic or anionic oil field products. (i.e. scale inhibitors, biocides, etc)
§ Decreases capillary pressure in the formation, allowing for increased yields.
§ Lowers the viscosity of the hydrocarbon feedstock, allowing for increased yields.
§ Contains a strong crystal wax modifier for paraffin control.
REBOUND AQ
Field trials and flowback data Increased oil and gas production Reduced pump pressures Reduced energy cost
Case Study #1 Increased Oil § On June 1, 2012, rebound was introduced into a 2,200 ft. well that
produced only 0.5 bpd for a period of three years. § Based on the calculations of water in the system, five gallons of
Rebound Aq was poured into the well inlet at a 0.5% dilution which resulted in a final .04% dilution. The pump was set to percolate and the product was allowed to permeate into the surrounding near well bore formation. Upon restarting the pump, the operator showed a significant increase in oil flowback, up to 5 bpd. The operator also noticed sand from the Austin chalk formation represented in the recovered product. This was a significant observation showing Rebounds ability to clean out the veins of the formation and proppant sand from the original fracture. This increase in production lasted for three weeks. Before the use of Rebound, the wells produced 10.5 barrels of oil in a three week time frame. After treatment with Rebound, the next three weeks produced 105 barrels of oil resulting in a 900 % increase in production.

Case Study #2 Increased Gas and Energy Cost Savings § On February 14, 2013 Rebound Aq was introduced into a field of 6 wells that were
drilled in the 1940’s. The property owner stated previously prior to treatment, they produced a steady 3 ½ inches [which is equivalent to 1 barrel = 1 inch] or 3.5 bpd. After partial treatment of Rb into the production water tank, they saw an increase to a steady 4 bpd. After the plumbing was complete and the pressure dropped at the injection well and injection pump, he had one day of 6 barrels of production, and two days of 5 ½ barrels, then 5 barrels. After which it subsided to 4 ½ barrels and remained constant. The first of September showed an increase to 8bpd and has steadied throughout the month. That is an increase of 128%. Turning on the injection pump along with the MR pump injecting 3.48 gallons of Rb mixture a day, did indeed allow the pressures at both the injection pump and the injection well to reach a sustained maximum pressure allowance of 200 PSI for a time period of 40 minutes after building gradually. The injection well’s pressure went down to 100 PSI, and gradually decreased from there. This is a two-‐fold benefit, one being there is less mechanical strain kept on the injection pump, resulting in both longer life span of the pump and porcelain pistons but also a decreased electricity bill as the pump works more efficiently to push fluid down the line. The operator also estimates a gas production increase of 20-‐30%, although this was not documented.

Rebound Recover
• Modulates the pour point of sludge and heavy hydrocarbon molecules • Allows solids to be easily removed from the recovered oil stream. • Decreases separation time of oil and increases efficiency of equipment
Allows lands now used for holding sludge and waste to be recovered for industrial, or commercial usage.
