Applications
Production of hydrogen, oxygen,
algae and bleach
from dirty water sources
Addressing contaminated water while
establishing a hydrogen infrastructure

Ψ PSIDA How?
Houston area is already an established market with over 700 miles of hydrogen pipeline and large existing user base.
Texas produces 7 Billion bbl of brine water for every 300 Million bbl of oil produced yearly.
Texas oil fields are distributed throughout the state and in close proximity to major metropolitan areas.

Ψ PSIDA Oil wells in Austin area
4
Ψ PSIDAEach Well produces 15 to 45 bbl of brine for
each bbl of oil
Caldwell county is one of the 5 CenTex counties around Austin. It produces enough brine to supply all of Austin's immediate hydrogen needs. (only 3 hour drive to Houston)

Ψ PSIDA Technology Introduction
Dirty Water Electrolysis:
PSIDA’s system is the only one not requiring “ultra-clean water”
Process starts by adding salt and electricity:
2NaCl + 2H2O → Cl2 + H2 + 2NaOH
The free Na+ ions available during further electrolysis maintains the system.
NaOH → Na+ + O- + H+
Na+ + H2O → H+ + NaOH

Ψ PSIDA product viability
Hydrogen is the precursor to a variety of products:
− CO + 2 H2 → CH
3OH (Methanol)
− 3 H2 + N
2 → 2 NH
3 (Fertilizer)
− 2H2 + O
2 -> 2H
2O (releasing electricity and
heat) Oxygen and bleach have strong viable
markets in medical, cleaning, water purification, metal working and agriculture.

Ψ PSIDA Highly competitive
The PSIDA Electrolysis unit handles acidic, basic or high salinity liquids.
− Nanoparticle technology pulls out ppm oil contamination.
− The electrolysis units handle any contaminates found in brine including ketones, hydrogen sulfide, acetones, hydrocarbons or oil.
− Capital expenditure and operating expenditure is only 1/10 electrolysis costs of competitors.

Ψ PSIDA Model 5 Anode/Cathode Reliability
Anode after 180 days. Scale is obvious on anode and separator. No deterioration in actual material.
Cathode after 180 days.
Salt brines and sewage water.

Ψ PSIDA Summary
Dangerous chemicals are reduced to non-dangerous components. Fresh water is supplied by Solar Thermal.
Income generation from hydrogen, oxygen, bleach, oils and animal feed.
Income generation from oil or Natural Gas brine or brackish water instead of cost and liability.
CAPEX and OPEX are 10X lower than competition.
