Nano Tech West, Inc.

Environmental Solutions for the


Resource and Transportation Sectors

The Company
Nano Tech West, Inc. is based out of Washington State
with offices in Blaine, WA and Calgary, AB.

The Company is dedicated to the advancement of
environmental standards and the operational efficiencies
of companies using leading edge technologies.

The Company focuses on solving environmental issues
that result from contamination related to the Oil & Gas
and Mining sectors.

NanoSolTM is the flagship offering that is a highly effective
technology that acts as the foundation in achieving these
goals.


The Product

NanoSolTM (the product) is programmable and will bind with targeted
elements.

The binding process is strong and can remain bound for periods
extending into years.

The process is reversible. The element bound can be released at a later
time.

Ongoing testing will expand the range of elements that can be
captured.

NanoSolTM has been successfully developed to bind with:
Oil
Arsenic
Gold

Nanotechnology: Overview
The International System of Units, the prefix "nano" means
one-billionth; One nanometer is one-billionth of a meter.

Nanotechnology is also known as molecular manufacturing , is
a branch of engineering that deals with the design and
manufacture of extremely small particles for an engineered
use.

Applications






Emergency Spill
Response

Decontamination of
Impacted Water

Soil Remediation

Recovery of Oil Spilled
through Accidents


Emergency Spill Response
Oil spills, on both land and water.

Product is highly effective in water and with proper application, can leave
the water with only trace amounts of oil.

Economic upside in that the oil is contained, removed from the
environment and later released when the process is reversed.


Decontamination of Water
NanoSolTM is proven effective in the removal of hydrocarbons and arsenic
from water.

Potential for resulting water to be left in a potable state.

NanoSol is perfectly suited for use in situations where spills occur in rivers,
lakes or ocean.

Soil Remediation (Oil)
NanoSolTM works on a point of contact basis and will
absorb and contain oil immediately.

Active processing of contaminated soil will result in
discharge of oil-free water and deeply remediated
soils.


Enhanced Recovery of Oil
NanoSolTM is designed to release the oil from its
bonds under engineered conditions.

Application of pressure and temperature will release
the oil at a time and place determined by the end
user.

Once the oil is released, the product is available for
reuse and can be employed over multiple cycles.

Pipeline Applications
NanoSolTM is perfectly suited for pipeline operations with a focus on areas where
the transport lines are exposed to, or in the vicinity of bodies of water.

The product mitigates the effects of any spills on land and can effectively contain
any oil in water leaving only trace amounts.

In addition to emergency spill response, NanoSolTM is a strong option during the
construction phase or repair of any new or existing lines. Deployment of NanoSolTM
in direct contact with the pipe within the trench in strategic areas in and around
bodies of water can act as a temporary stop gap measure or reservoir to mitigate
the effects of a line rupture.

There are in excess of 2,500,000 miles of pipeline throughout North America alone
with additional facilities in Mexico, Central and South America.

Transportation of oil throughout these areas is in excess of 12 billion barrels of
petroleum each year in North America.
Rail Industry
The transportation of crude oil has
grown substantially in the last years
and is poised to increase further
with numerous oil trans loading
facilities are in various stages of
development throughout the
Americas.

Hundreds of thousands of miles of
rail are presently in place
throughout the Americas that are
transporting oil, liquids and other
hazardous materials on a daily basis.

NanoSolTM is easily transportable
and well suited for storage in select
locations or to be hauled
concurrently for emergency
deployment in the event of a
derailment or spill.
Transloading Facilities

Energy sector has adopted an
increased reliance on rail
transportation to move oil to
markets throughout North
America
Development of numerous
transloading facilities throughout
Western Canada.
Proximity to port facilities and
marine environments increases
risk of accidental contamination
of water during on and off loading
procedures.
