Some info on CLQ.
The Company is the Australian leader in providing solutions that reduce air pollution by odorous, toxic and greenhouse gases
The Company is introducing world leading, patented technologies that reduce water pollution by removing salts and toxic materials in groundwater, coal waters, mining waters and wastewaters
The Company has developed, patented and proven world leading technologies that extract, purify and recover valuable metals from ores and sludge in the mining and mineral processing industries
AIR
Biofilter, OdorTeQ ® BioTrickling Filter, Clean RTO – Regenerative Thermal Oxidiser
This division has been the core business of the Company since 1990 providing world’s best biotechnology and
thermal based air purification solutions for odours, toxics and greenhouse gases for municipal authorities and
industries.
Over 150 plants designed and built in Australia and with the growth in Asia the technology can be applied to an
increasingly aware Asian marketplace.
WATER
Continuous Ionic Filtration™, CIF™, High Recovery Reverse Osmosis, HiROx™
This division has developed an innovative suite of technologies for the desalination of brackish water and the
purification and recycling of wastewater to produce high quality water for reuse.
The technology suite has been developed to overcome the inadequacies of conventional water treatment when applied to “dirty or difficult” water sources.
The technology suite aims to exceed the benchmarks for cost, operations, water recovery and brine production
MINING
Clean-iX ® Metal Recovery from Wastes, Leach Solutions and Leach Pulps
The patented Continuous Ion Exchange Technology, Clean-iX ® aims to be the most cost-effective and environmentally sustainable route for the extraction and purification of metals.
This technology uses specific ion-exchange resins in specially-designed equipment to recover important and
valuable metals such as precious metals, base metals, light metals, rare earths and uranium.

Revenue Mix
•Target revenue growth of 50%+ in FY13
•Increasing air revenue but decreasing as a percentage of the overall revenue
•Increasing water revenue in line with water service model
•No mining revenue is predicted at this time however success in this sector represents a significant upside potential
•Licence revenue is variable depending on countries targeted and type of licence
•Royalty revenue increasing in line with cumulating licences being granted globally
There is eleventy plenty more information in the presentation. What are others thoughts on CLQ’s business model and future prospects in an increasingly polluted world?
