BioLargo Announces Funding for Design/Installation of Full-Scale “Zero Liquid Discharge” Wastewater Treatment and Reuse Project
Alberta Innovates commits to provide significant funding
Westminster, CA – December 22, 2020 – BioLargo, Inc. (OTCQB:BLGO),
developer of cutting-edge environmental technologies and a full-service
engineering company, announced today that its Canadian subsidiary has received
grant funding necessary to begin the design and construction of a full-scale farm-wide

an organic poultry producer in Alberta, Canada.
Scheduled to begin operating next year, BioLargo will design,
build, install and operate a custom water treatment train featuring its patented
Advanced Oxidation System (AOS) technology. The system will treat all
wastewater produced by farming operations and convert it to reusable water,
saving the farm money and reducing its environmental impact. This project will
make Sunworks Farm the first “zero liquid discharge” poultry facility in
Alberta Canada, a significant technical and environmental achievement for both
companies and for the Canadian poultry industry.
Alberta Innovates has committed funding for the project through
the Water Innovation Program (https://albertainnovates.ca/programs/water-innovation/).
“BioLargo’s Advanced Oxidation System (AOS) technology has
the potential to protect Alberta’s water quality and improve water reuse at
Sunworks Farm. Advancing the reuse of wastewater through innovation is an
important way to support economic development and environmental stewardship in
Alberta”, says Dr. Brett Purdy, Executive Director of Environmental Innovation
at Alberta Innovates.

BioLargo to Report Record Revenues in Fourth Quarter of 2020
Westminster, CA – December 21, 2020 – BioLargo, Inc. (OTCQB:BLGO), a developer of sustainable technologies and a full-service environmental engineering company, today announced that its current fourth quarter revenues of approximately $750,000 will result in new quarterly and annual records for the company.
In addition to setting revenue records, BioLargo also
significantly reduced its debt obligations during the year. At December 31,
2019, its balance sheet showed approximately $4.6 million in notes payable and
lines of credit, not including solely owed obligations of its partially owned
subsidiary Clyra Medical. During this calendar year, BioLargo reduced the $4.6 million
owed by over $2.8 million to approximately $1.7 million. Of that amount, $357,000
are SBA Paycheck Protection Act loans (which management expects will be
forgiven in accordance with SBA’s terms), $200,000 will be converted to equity
at maturity, and the remaining approximately $1.1 million may be converted by
the investors and if not, will mature in August 2021.
BioLargo CEO Dennis P. Calvert commented, “I am proud of our
team’s accomplishments in 2020, and am optimistic that we can continue the
momentum next year and further improve our financial condition with successful execution
of projects and contracts already in hand, as well as new product launches. Of
course, multiple factors may affect the timing and amount of our sales,
including uncertainties and unusual challenges related to the pandemic, and the
obvious challenges inherent in introducing new technologies to the market.”
In a presentation recorded at the LD Micro virtual investor
conference on December 14, 2020, Mr. Calvert explained that the company needs
to reach approximately $1.25 million in quarterly revenues to get to cash-flow positive
for operations supported by BioLargo (which excludes Clyra, which is independently
financed). In the video, available below, he also explained the drivers behind
the record revenues and detailed the company’s plans to launch its long-anticipated
water treatment technologies, the BioLargo AOS and BioLargo AEC, in 2021.

Westminster, CA – December 1, 2020 – ONM Environmental, Inc., a subsidiary of BioLargo, Inc. (OTCQB:BLGO), a developer of sustainable technologies and a full-service environmental engineering company, has recently installed several large and financially significant CupriDyne Clean air quality control systems at public and private landfills. These projects are noteworthy because of their size, sophistication, and scope relative to past projects, and feature CupriDyne Clean, the company’s award-winning cost-effective odor and VOC control product that eliminates odor-causing compounds and VOCs rather than masking them.
These most recent projects are driving increasing sales for ONM
in recent months. Management anticipates these projects will propel the company
to record revenues in the fourth quarter, assuming no delays in project
execution occur as a result of significant new COVID-related government
shutdowns or regulations.
A video of the trailer can be viewed here: https://www.biolargo.com/cupridyne-misting-trailer
ONM also began working with two municipalities in Southern
California, one of which required the installation of a 4,000-foot-long perimeter
misting system for a landfill. The second involved ONM delivering multiple of
its new portable misting trailers which use its flagship product CupriDyne
Clean on an ongoing basis.
President of ONM Environmental, Joe Provenzano stated, “We
have a reputation as a company that delivers the highest quality and most
dependable air quality control solutions and deployment systems, even in some

Odin (BioLargo/BKT Joint Venture) Headquarters Moving to Korea Water Cluster in Daegu, South Korea
Earlier this year, BioLargo announced the formation of a joint venture with BKT & Tomorrow Water to launch BioLargo’s patented odor and VOC control product CupriDyne Clean (www.cupridyne.com) into the Asian market under the brand name “Odin”. The new join venture was designed to manufacture and support distribution of the odor and VOC control products developed and sold by its subsidiary ONM Environmental, Inc. (www.onmenvironmental.com) in multiple countries throughout Asia, focusing initially on BKT’s established water and wastewater customer base.
BKT is a leading wastewater treatment solutions provider
operating in the USA, South Korea, and Vietnam with a reputation for adopting
innovative, environmentally sustainable technologies and practices. In the
agreement between BioLargo and BKT, it was planned that the joint venture would
eventually move its headquarters to the city of Daegu, which is a center for
high-tech innovation in South Korea.
The BKT/BioLargo joint venture (Odin) is now officially
moving its headquarters to the Korea Water Cluster in Daegu. The Korea
Water Cluster is a newly opened water innovation hub in Daegu that provides
significant business, scientific, engineering, human resources, and logistical
assets to companies. Odin is set to be the first international joint venture
headquartered at the Korea Water Cluster campus.
Water clusters and innovations groups exist all over the world, but the Korea Water Cluster is unique because of its significant physical footprint in Daegu, its substantial physical resources, and the funding it has received from the South Korean government. The Korea Water Cluster’s campus spans over 14 square kilometers, with state-of-the art testing facilities and business support centers.
Overview of Korea Water Cluster facilities (source: www.watercluster.or.kr) |
James Kim, COO of BKT, commented on the importance of the
move to Daegu, “the Water Cluster will be a hub for R&D in the water industry, and it will introduce innovative
technologies in one place, providing opportunity for collaboration and
cooperation among companies and ventures.”
He continued, “Korea Water Cluster will be a test bed and
showcase for many innovative technologies not only for Korean clients but also
many other clients in Asia. Odor is one of the major issues that wastewater
treatment plants would like to remove, and it is becoming more important. By
moving its headquarters to this Water Cluster, Odin will be naturally exposed
to more clientele in Korea and also in Asia. BioLargo and Tomorrow Water signed
an MOU with the City of Daegu at the WEFTEC last year, and the Mayor of Daegu
promised strong support on market expansion in this region. Odin is the first
foreign invested joint venture who moved into this cluster.”
Odin’s move to the Korea Water Cluster comes at a time when
the joint venture is working to establish its manufacturing base for odor and
VOC control products in South Korea. Not only will the move provide access for
Odin to key opinion leaders in the water innovation industry in South Korea,
but it will allow for significant business-to-business collaboration as the
joint venture partners works to market Odin products in the region.

BioLargo Awarded Contract for Engineering Services at Major Chemical Manufacturing Facility
A
Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer is a device that destroys unwanted organic air
contaminants produced as a result of the phenolic resin production process. An
RTO is a highly energy-efficient technology that uses waste heat to eliminate organic
air contaminants, and is a crucial piece of equipment for this chemical plant.
The plant
is preparing to shut down an existing, older RTO and re-route the exhaust
treated by that RTO to a newer, much larger and more efficient RTO. This will result
in significant energy efficiency and cost savings improvements to the facility.
The work to reconfigure these RTO systems is not trivial, requiring substantial
engineering and design work to ensure it proceeds safely and efficiently. BLEST
has been contracted to conduct the initial engineering work to assess the
feasibility of the RTO reconfiguration project. BLEST engineers have
significant experience engineering and designing RTO systems, with some of its
engineers having designed multiple RTO systems for the facility.

For many years, BioLargo has sponsored fellowships offered by the National Water Research Institute (NWRI) to graduate students in the US who focus on cutting-edge water research. This $5,000 fellowship recognizes students who research the technical and scientific aspects of advanced water and wastewater treatment.
This year, we are happy to announce that the NWRI-BioLargo
Graduate Fellowship has been awarded to Lorianne Shultz, a PhD student at the
University of Central Florida. Shultz’s research project, which she is
completing in the laboratory of Dr. Titel Jurca, is called “Chlorine Stable
Heterogeneous Catalysts for the Remediation of Stubborn Water Pollutants”.

Lorianne explained to us the importance of her research, “Pharmaceuticals
and personal care products are accumulating in our waterways at alarming rates;
this is especially true with the world’s growing population. This issue can be
remediated through heterogenous catalytic degradation of these pollutants, a methodology
that I believe is commonly overlooked in the water-industry. I was thrilled to
receive this fellowship as it helps validate the use of catalytic materials for
water-remediation and these funds help me expand this field of research
further. I am excited to be working in connection with BioLargo, a company so
dedicated to this field and at the forefront of improvement for water treatment
systems.”
Dennis P. Calvert, President & CEO of BioLargo,
commented, “Shultz’s research goals align well with NWRI’s mission to protect
and improve water management in the US, and they also align with BioLargo’s
vision of seeking innovative new methods of addressing tough contaminants that
threaten the health and safety of people around the world. We are thrilled to
sponsor her work, and we are excited to learn from her research.”
NWRI is a 501c3 nonprofit that collaborates with water
utilities, regulators, and researchers in innovative ways to help develop new,
healthy sources of drinking water. To learn more about NWRI’s graduate

BioLargo Wins Octane HTA Award for COVID-19 Response
Over the past few months, BioLargo pivoted to develop and deliver solutions to help combat the COVID-19 pandemic, including Clyraguard Personal Protection Spray, manufactured and sold by our subsidiary Clyra Medical Technologies. At the outset of the pandemic, we recognized that our iodine-based technologies would make a meaningful contribution to the fight against SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes COVID-19). Our response is directly in line with our mission statement to “make life better” because nothing is more important right now than helping protect people against this virus.
Last week at the 27th Octane High Tech Awards, BioLargo was honored for its contribution to the fight against COVID with a “COVID-19 Response Recognition Award”. We thank the Octane team for this honor, and we are humbled to have been recognized among such incredible Orange County based innovators.
The award highlighted BioLargo’s agile response to COVID. They
noted that the company’s subsidiary Clyra Medical Technologies worked quickly
to roll out Clyraguard Personal Protection Spray (www.clyramedical.com/clyraguard),
which recently launched to great enthusiasm, with sales and distribution
presently ramping up through national partners.
Clyraguard, an FDA-registered hospital-grade disinfectant,
offers an additional line of defense against COVID-19. It helps protects
mask-wearers from cross contamination by providing quick, safe, effective
on-the-go decontamination of masks and other noncritical PPE. It has been
tested and proven effective to completely inactivate SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) in a published study conducted
by Galveston National Lab (UTMB-Galveston), and it is proven to be non-toxic,
non-irritating, non-sensitizing, safe on skin, and eco-friendly.
Launching this product was no easy task – Clyra set up contract
manufacturing capable of delivering up to 1 million units per month, secured
FDA registration, built a full-scale marketing campaign that is currently
launching, and established partnerships with national distributors.
BioLargo also advanced its proprietary iodine technology to
be used as an environmental disinfectant. Already, third-party
studies were conducted that proved the
product, derived from BioLargo’s CupriDyne® technology, achieving complete
inactivation against SARS-CoV-2 in only 10 minutes.
This award is not the first time that BioLargo has been
honored by Octane at their HTA event. In 2017, BioLargo received an
Octane award for Horizontal Disruption because of the company’s diverse
innovative life sciences technologies. The following year, BioLargo CEO Dennis
P. Calvert was invited to be a judge for the 2018 HTA awards alongside
decorated entrepreneur Shawn Dougherty (who is now Clyra Medical Technologies’
Chief Revenue Officer). We believe organizations like Octane, which is Orange
County's premier tech incubator, are crucial in times like these, as they
promote the advancement of critically important innovative technologies that
help make people’s lives better.
On a Clyraguard-related note – we are anxious to update
everyone on the advancement of Clyraguard sales, so keep an eye out for more
Clyraguard news!
