On Display at COP15, MicroDrop's New Technology Treats Water at Zero Energy

COPENHAGEN, December 15 - Water treatment specialist MicroDrop Aqua -a Danish cleantech company- is
introducing new technologies that could raise world standards for aeration
and purification of drinking water. Highlights featured at an exhibition
arranged by the confederation of Danish Industry (DI) in connection with the
COP15 climate summit in Copenhagen, include water treatment solutions in
self-contained units: an energy-saving arsenic reduction technology that
requires no chemicals, an oxygenation process that uses the force of gravity
with energy consumption and CO2 emission levels at virtually zero, and a
mineral filtering system that turns RO treated seawater into tasty drinking
water.

The unique and highly inventive MicroDrop oxygenation process is a
cleantech concept that operates at virtually zero energy and in full
compliance with EU standards. According to information from MicroDrop Aqua,
energy consumption levels are only one-tenth compared to competing systems.

"Our aeration system provides effective oxygenation of raw water used for
drinking purposes," says MicroDrop Aqua chairman Suni á Dalbø.

The MicroDrop system eliminates a variety of substances frequently found
in groundwater used for drinking purposes worldwide, Mr. á Dalbø says. The
company's solutions are applied on mobile units of a variety of sizes, with a
capacity ranging from 2 to several 100 cubic meters per day.

Globally patented arsenic cleansing

As arsenic polluted drinking water exposes people to the risks of cancer
and other serious illnesses, arsenic pollution is recognized as a worldwide
problem. Accordingly, the WHO has significantly lowered the limit for
acceptable arsenic levels in drinking water.

"We identify strongly with the cause of making pure water accessible for
all people," Mr. á Dalbø adds.

MicroDrop Aqua's solution for removal of arsenic substances involves the
use of a cylinder filled with "iron flakes". The added iron is the only
removable part in this concept -a refill of "iron flakes" is needed
approximately once per year.

The energy consumption is at its very lowest with this technology and the
process works without adding any chemicals, according to Mr. á Dalbø. "Only
very limited maintenance and services are needed," he says. "Our solutions
are scalable and customizable in accordance with our clients' specific needs
and requirements."

Scientific proof of concept and technical documentation has been filed in
cooperation with the Aalborg University, Denmark.

From seawater to freshwater

The MicroDrop Mineral Filtering system improves the quality of water from
reverse osmosis plants-i.e. saltwater plants that produce distilled water-and
turns it into normal, pleasant drinking water.

"After the water has been oxygenated it is pumped through a special
mineral filter," Mr. á Dalbø says. "This is for adding some of the minerals
that are typically found in drinking water."

Importantly, as he points out, neither desalinated nor distilled water
tastes like drinking water before being treated by a MicroDrop Mineral Filter
system.

MicroDrop Aqua's technology was on display at the Bright Green exhibition
in Forum, Copenhagen, during COP15, the United Nations' 15th conference on
climate change.
