1. Cypher Product Introduction

2. Current Target Market

3. Gaining Market Shares

UltraZyme Products are a blend of

environmentally friendly cultures specifically

designed to remediate organic wastes and

provide odor control in a variety of water and

wastewater treatment related applications.

UltraZyme products come in 3 varieties, all of which are in super concentrated powder form.

They are all 100% environmentally friendly water treatments.

UltraZyme Powder

UltraZyme HydroCarbon Powder

UltraZyme AquaCulture

UltraZyme Powder

Our most cost effective wastewater

treatment product.

Naturally remediates organic

compounds and provides odor

control.

This process causes no further

harm to the environment.

BENEFITS: UltraZyme Powder

100% Environmentally friendly

Reduces B.O.D. (Biochemical Oxygen Demand)

Reduces C.O.D. (Chemical Oxygen Demand)

Eliminates Odor

Reduces S.S. (Suspended Solids)

Reduces F.O.G. (Fat, Oil, Grease)

Improves Turbidity (Water Clarity)

Current Target MarketUltraZyme Powder

Agricultural Crop cleaning.

Less fresh water contamination,

increased water recycling,

reduction in fungus.

Existing Markets: UltraZyme Powder

Wastewater Treatment Plants.(Municipal/Industrial)

Agricultural Applications / Compost Piles.

Food Processing Facilities.

Sewage Treatment.

Lagoons.

Grease Traps.

Septic Tanks.

Holding Tanks.

Drains.

Odor Control.

UltraZyme HydroCarbon Powder

All natural and effective approach.

Eliminates toxic oil and gas contamination:

• Equally effective in soil and water.

Designed specifically to break down hard to

digest compounds. Converting them into non-

toxic substances such as carbon dioxide, bio-

mass, and water.

Benefits:HydroCarbon Powder

• 100% Environmentally friendly.

• Remediation occurs across a wide

range of temperatures and pH levels.

• Resistant to sudden influxes of

hydrocarbons and heavy metals.

• Equally effective on contaminated soil

and in fresh and salt water.

Current Target MarketsHydroCarbon PowderRemediation/Clean-up of oil spills (land & water).

Remediation of wastewater with a high hydrocarbon / gasoline / diesel content.

Treatment of waste oils to prevent high removal costs.

Digestion of any unwanted oil residues in a number of different applications.

Soil Remediation.

How UltraZyme Works

(1) Lag Phase: Generation of enzymes to digest food sources(2) Exponential Growth Phase: Free-to-grow, ample food supply (3) Competition or Stationary Phase: Increasing population puts strain on nutrient supplies, reducing growth rate of Bacteria, systems energy transfers from consumption to survival.(4) Death Phase: Low food (O2, N+, C), stressed populations are more susceptible to dies and die-offs.

Start

Dosage Requirements:

UltraZyme application rates are

dictated by the:

• Volume

• Throughput

• And contamination levels.

UltraZyme Application;

A Two Step Process:

• Seed Dose (Ex. 100 Lbs) and

• Maintenance Dose (Ex. 10 Lbs).

How did we get here?

OSTC (COSIA)Selected Cypher Environmental Ltd’s UltraZyme HydroCarbon as a product of interest in the remediation of oil sands tailings.

How to introduce new and established technologies to the

mining industry?

• Know your technology• Strengths and limitations

• Review the problem

• Feasibility study

• Scaling?

• Network

Market Scale:• 100’s of Millions of litres of

MMF (FFT) produced annually

• Current reclamation times 30+ years

• Future mandatory reclamation time 5 years

Feasibility StudyCurrently conducting a 3 month

research project with Dr. Ulrich to

compare the effects of our

UltraZyme Powder and UltraZyme

HydroCarbon on the rate of settling

and toxicity of MFT (FFT).

Scaling?Once feasibility has been established

partner with an end user to conduct a

pilot project.

Also, iterate back to he feasibility stage.

Network• Cypher Environmental Ltd Distributor

network spanning 30+ countries• OSTC (COSIA) Requested to Review

our UltraZyme Technologies• Currently have a strong market base

in the mining industry with our other technologies

• Know both the end users and the academic experts
