1 Dresser-Rand Separators May 2006

2 A little history.. California inventor separation principles early development and testing capital constraints Aker Kvaerner & Dresser-Rand formed JV company MppT (Multiphase Power & Processing Technologies) purchased all rights and patents from inventor AK market knowledge and sales force D-R machinery expertise and manufacture some progress Purchase by D-R of AK s interest in MppT mid-2005

3 D-R R Separator products IRIS (Inline Rotary Separator) separates liquids from a gas stream Biphase: separates gas and oil (a larger, powered IRIS) Triphase: separates gas and water from oil

4 The IRIS separator

5 IRIS benefits Separation efficiency >99% of particles over 5 microns equal to cartridge filters Compact, in line design High liquid capacity 4% liquid to gas volume ratio up to 30% by mass Self powered Ease of maintenance/replacement
