“Optical” Chromatogram (Optogram) of Syngas • In Service at a Major Coal Gasification Facility in SA • At ~ 100 psig H2 • Peak area analysis ~62% * • 2 – 5 min cycle/update CO2 ~ 4% times • Probes in existing GC CH4 ~9% fast loops • Calibrate/Validate with GC standard • Excellent correlation with Lab Analysis CO ~25% AMERICAS SALES MEETING 2010 - RACING TO $50 MILLION CONFIDENTIAL [ 6 ] [ 6 ]

Benefits of Optography Transition to Optography is easy:  Technicians already know how to handle the data  Know how to calibrate  Know how to validation  Know how to analyze Only need to know hardware maintenance  Simpler to learn to maintain AMERICAS SALES MEETING 2010 - RACING TO $50 MILLION CONFIDENTIAL [ 7 ] [ 7 ]
