The following is a summary of E.T.I.'s Ballast Water Discharge Treatment System’s (BWDTS) unique features and attributes:

I) The system treats the Ballast Water utilizing Ozone & Sonic Energy

. IIa) The system treats the Ballast Water only upon discharge

. IIb) The system does not have any of the intake or in

- tank treatment sediment issues , as Captain Phil Jenkins has pointed out in various presentations/papers. III) The system does not create nor have any chemical residual issues; nor does it create any potential damage to the environment. IV) The system's performance is not affected by the Ballast Water temp/salinity/PH/turbidity. Va) The system does not have any filtrate issues, because it does not rely upon filtration equipment as part of the treatment system. Vb) The system's optimum performance is enhanced if improved filtration is done upon the Ballast Water intake. VIa) The system does not require storage of any chemicals, gas, or other substances. VIb) The system util izes compressed air to generate O2, which is used in the generation of O3. VII) The system's only 2 main components are the O3 Generation Sys and the Sonic Sys. VIIIa) The system utilizes off

- the

- shelf components, with service available around the w orld. VIIIb) The system has no moving parts; thus, it's maintenance is minimal. IX) The system will not affect the Deballasting operation, normal shipboard operations. Xa) The system's installation does not require the Ship to be in dry dock

. Xb) The system requires a bypass loop with valves, out of and back into the Ballast Discharge Pipe(s), as the major part of the installation. Xc) The system's remaining components are fully factory assembled; wiring and piping connections

are all that are required. XI) The system is fully automated and PLC controlled for easy shipboard operation. XII) The system has an optional real

- time, on

- line satellite transmitted data collection, operation, and trouble

- shooting systemcalled "Ball astWatch" for monitoring compliance regulations. XIII) The system is rugged and designed for shipboard operation. XIV) The system is safe
, reliable and ship friendly. XV) The system does not affect the structural integrity of the ship.



### This sy stem is designed to meet all current and future IMO effectiveness standards.

Al so, the follo wing is a summary of E.T.I.'s Ballast Water Discharge Treatment Sy stem’s (BWDTS) cost, space and pow er requirements:

I) The 6,000 GPM (max) system per Ballast Pump costs approx. $500,000.00 , not including installation. Installation costs will of course, vary from ship to ship. IIa) The system's treatment space requirement, per ballast pump, is a 20' long x 3' wide x 8' tall spac e located in the Ballast Discharge area. IIb) The system's remaining components can be installed in that area or anywhere within 100 feet of that area. IIc) The system, installed all together in one area, would require a space 20' long x 8' w ide x 8' high per Ballast Pump. IIIa) The system's power requirement to operate is 100 KW

. IIIb) The system's cost to operate is only the cost of the above power required

. IV) The system is available in 14

- 16 weeks after receipt of order. H owever, this can be expedited.
