1 KmX Corporation
- Advanced Membrane Solutions
- Presentation to
2Goal
- Become a global leader in
- the Chemical Purification and
- Synthetic Fuels markets and a
- significant OEM for water
- Membranes and Filters.
Mission
Use state-of-the-art membrane technology to
deliver turnkey systems that increase end-user
profits and reduce environmental damage.
3KmX Competitive Advantages
- Proven leading edge licensed membrane and
processor technology - Proprietary the result of ten years and US5m
investment by Petro Sep, Inc. - Unique management knows of no company with the
resistance and separation features found in KMX's
chemical membranes. - Flexible and Economic for the first time
membranes can be used to purify harsh, toxic
chemicals and gases in a wide variety of extreme
conditions in a highly economic fashion.
4KmX Competitive Advantages
- Turnkey approach backed by solid engineering and
a compelling business model - Turnkey solution skid-mounted solution includes
customized membranes and patented processor
technology. - Complementary services design, customization
and management supplied with Petro-Sep, Inc. - Compelling business model fully financed joint
ventures share incremental revenue generation.
5Limitations of Conventional Distillation
- Distillation is the conventional method for
separating and purifying solvent mixtures but
cannot achieve high purity levels. - Solvent mixtures are heated in distillation
stills and the components are separated based on
their boiling points. - Distillation fails to work at the point where the
liquid mixture composition reaches boiling and
further separation of the component parts is no
longer possible. - At this point (called azeotropic point) the
purity of the distillate (boiled product) cannot
be enhanced with further distillation.
6 Value Proposition - Benefits
- Use of membranes as an alternative to, or
complimentary with distillation, significantly
reduces the costs of purifying chemicals. - Allows chemical users to reuse spent chemicals
many times over. - Reduces the need for and cost of purchasing and
stocking chemicals and removing/dispensing of
waste streams. - Increases energy efficiency and reduces
environmental damage. - Leverages and is synergistic with traditional
distillation and refinery plants.
7Value Proposition - Economics
- Processes chemicals to a level of purity and
value, never achieved by traditional processes. - Increases distillation productivity from columns.
- Increases yields from Reactor Columns.
(Esterification) - Increases price from higher purity output.
- Increases margins from lower costs.
- Environmentally benign process.

21Azeo-Sep Case study for solvent recycling
22Tabib Israel - Case Study
- Collects over 80 of Israels pharmaceutical
waste. - Has distillation capabilities.
- Currently incinerates vast percentage of what it
collects in Israel or abroad mainly Germany. - Working on joint venture to purify waste
chemicals to resell back to pharmaceutical
companies or to the open market. - Potential for two truck loads a day.
