ATEC Systems BackgroundATEC Systems Background We have been building filters since

1982 T i l 1 500 GPM S t1982 We have produced high quality potable

water systems since 1992 ATEC Systems developed high rate

Typical 1,500 GPM System

y p giron & manganese removal system in 1992

Installed first full-scale arsenic removal system using granular ferric hydroxidesystem using granular ferric hydroxide in 2001

Arsenic removal is becoming increasingly important. We are building plants that successfully usebuilding plants that successfully use the same basic process combined with ferric coagulation to remove arsenic at a loading rate of between 5.0 and 8.5 gpm/sfgpm/sf.

ATEC Systems Policies and Obj tiObjectives Provide cost-effective, high performance systems for g p y

the removal of manganese, iron, hydrogen sulfide, arsenic, and radium from groundwater.

We usually compete with the decision to treat not with We usually compete with the decision to treat not with other companies.

Adapt our systems to customers needs not our preferences If what we do isn’t the best solution for thepreferences. If what we do isn t the best solution for the customer, we don’t build it. Find them another option.

Things that makes our system diff tdifferent ATEC Systems Builds its Own Equipmenty q p We use Multiple Vessels to reduce peripheral equipment We build vertical filters for one reason—they work better.

If ’t t it ill t b ild it If we can’t guarantee it, we will not build it. We are not a “fab shop” we build treatment water

systems and provide a level of customer support that exceeds customers’ expectations.

We work hard to simplify the operation of our filter systems and to make sure that they perform assystems and to make sure that they perform as advertised.

Why Pilot Test?Why Pilot Test? ATEC Systems Pilot Tests every installation y y

because: We believe that pilot testing is good science, good

engineering and good businessengineering, and good business It saves our customers money both in the short-run

and over the life of the treatment plant It allows us to control costs by removing the need to

account for probable failure of some installations It can significantly affect how a plant is designed It It can significantly affect how a plant is designed. It

helps engineers do a better job
