Common Remediation Methods
• Contaminant Removal: “Dig and dump”• Mixture: “Solution by Dilution”• Flash off: “Land-farming”• Thermal/Incineration• Bioremediation -- Bacillus

Pseudomonas Treatment
Pseudomonas Treatment is a Bio-augmentation process and involves 3 components:
• Biological (Culture, transport, and apply Pseudomonas Microbes at high concentrations)
• Chemical (Bio-surfactant)• Mechanical (Application equipment that ensure
even and complete contact)

Chemistry© 2015 Refine Innovations, LLC Proprietary and Confidential
Bio–Surfactant• Allows microbes to move more easily through the
contaminated site• Specialized chemistry does not harm pseudomonas• Highly biodegradable (90% degraded in 8 days)

Case Study: Soil Application 1
This graph shows results for a soil application performed recently in the southwest U.S. This data was obtained by an independent party, taking samples on a site treated during remediation operations on a contaminated site in North America.

Case Study: Soil Application 2
This graph shows results for a soil application, broken out by hydrocarbon chain length. This data was obtained by an independent party, taking samples on a site treated during remediation operations on a contaminated site in North America.

Case Study: Soil Application 3© 2015 Refine Innovations, LLC Proprietary and Confidential
This graph shows results for a sludge application conducted in Texas during Summer, 2015. Data is broken out by hydrocarbon chain length. This data was obtained by an independent party, taking samples on a site treated during remediation operations on oilfield sludge, tank bottoms, and drilling cuttings.

Sludge Treatment - Texas, Summer 2015
Case Study: Frac Pond, South Texas
Before
After

Background: Client had a Hydrocarbon (TPH and BTEX) Contaminated Frac Pond in South Texas. Pond was treated with pseudomonas: TPH and BTEX tested out at non-detect 10 days later. This project saved the client 80% over their next closest remediation option.
Case Study: Freshwater Application
This table shows the before and after contamination levels for a contaminated freshwater lake. This data was also independently obtained on a site treated in North America. Our product also works in salt water environments.

Successful at Degrading:© 2015 Refine Innovations, LLC Proprietary and Confidential
FEATURES: • All components are TSCA, and EPA NCP approved
• Proven biological system that degrades organics to carbon dioxide and water • Readily biodegradable, water based formula • Pathogen free • DNA tested • May be shipped non-regulated world wide by any means
BENEFITS: • Total hydrocarbon degradation • Eliminate costly transportation and landfill charges, especially in remote sites • Reduce liability: removal of dozens of trucks off the roads vs “dig and dump”
remediation.• Eliminate future potential liabilities from landfill containment failure • Significant dollars savings per project • Success achieved within days/months rather than years
