Wastewater treatment: hot topic at the Environmental Fair

IFAT China: Great opportunities for European companies
Wastewater treatment: hot topic at the Environmental Fair in Shanghai

Shanghai / Munich - About 60 percent of Chinese cities have no waste
water treatment plants. In rural areas wastewater is mostly not
treated. In the second International Trade Fair for Environmental
Protection IFAT 2006, from 27 to 30 June in Shanghai is on the stage,
the issue of "waste water treatment" play a central role. Nearly a
third of the total of 250 exhibitors will offer products and services
for the protection of water resources.

"Generally good market opportunities exist for technologies for
pretreatment of wastewater, for advanced methods and chemical
feedstocks for water treatment and wastewater treatment, and for
accurate and reliable measurement technique," said Eugen Egetenmeir,
Member of the Management Board of Messe München, together with the
Shanghai Expo, the IFAT organized against pressrelease. In principle,
will the demand for wastewater treatment and recycling processes and
systems significantly increase because of growing political pressure
on the company.

For the first time in China and waste water charges levied. About this
revenue to finance new projects. At the Chinese east coast to the
capital of the province of Canton, Guangzhou, many new treatment
plants are currently being planned and built. Ambitious is the goal of
the two cities of Beijing and Shanghai. Up to the Olympics in 2008, 90
percent of waste water is treated in Beijing. Currently, the
wastewater collection rate is only about 50 percent. Shanghai also has
up to the 2010 World Expo ambitious plans: 80 percent of wastewater
should be clarified. Currently only about 20 percent of the resulting
wastewater is treated adequately.

Meanwhile, will under all environmental problems in China felt the
lack of water probably the most pressing. "More than half of China's
major rivers is considered to be extremely burdened," said Egetenmeir.
According to experts in the cities 90 percent of surface water and 50
percent of the ground water is very dirty. "Lack of water affects the
chip manufacturer in Shanghai, just like the farmers in the north of
the country," said Egetenmeir. By 2010, therefore, according to the
Ministry of Construction about 30 billion euros are earmarked for the
expansion of water supply and sanitation, including pipe and sewer
systems.

The experts especially for investors with good opportunities modern
technologies. The change in environmental policy, which is now
oriented not only to combat the worst damage, but also knows the
precautionary principle, provide a fertile ground for it. The current
five-year plan calls for even to invest 1.3 percent of GDP in the
limitation and control of pollution. The money is to come to more than
half of private investors.

This year's IFAT is the second international trade fair for
environmental protection in China. 2004 252 exhibitors from 17
countries were represented in Shanghai. Some 9,500 guests from 69
countries visited the fair.

biological wastewater treatment

Fully biological wastewater treatment: Copper calls for more speed
More speed in the adaptation of waste water copper Saxony Environment
Minister has called on Monday on the first of three regional
conferences. By 2015, must be taken to ensure that coverage will be
treated in the entire Free State all fully biological waste water.
Basis for the required investments are confirmed sanitation concepts.
It might not be so copper that almost a third of the concepts not yet
confirmed, poorly presented or are not even, and two years after the
deadline. The associations are likely to wait in any case until the
last minute. The necessary funds now stood ready. Also, the capacity
of planning agencies, construction companies and licensing authorities
are limited. Copper spoke out again for Economic and affordable
solutions. Thus, small-scale solutions group would be beneficial.
Especially if they are run by public duty holders.

high-tech water treatment vertebral

AQA 707 high-tech water treatment vertebral, light and earth forces:
Water Purification at a high level

AQA 707 is a water activator in accordance with the model of nature.

The high-tech water treatment vertebral, light and earth forces
achieved this high energizing water.

Healthy, vital drinking water is our most important food. It is
unfortunately only available in limited quantity. More and more people
have to share this valuable. Only directly on natural resources, it
has the correct energy quality. Whether packaged in bottles or drawn
from the water line, go to the water lost by major energy transport
forces. With the AQA707 You can now return this important energy of
the water. Four highly efficient energy systems provide a new, fresh
energy in their water. Both for drinking, as well as to activate the
energy of their water body care:
Levitation by vigorous vortex effect
Pulsating magnetic fields identical nature
Intense pulsed photon radiation
Information transfer (for example, homeopathy)

Water: a mysterious element

Mysterious and unfathomable, so are the depths of the seas and oceans
still. The hidden treasures of the deep have still not lost its
fascination. The oceans hide not only the sunken treasures, once
repeated civilizations and their buildings. Deep in the oceans live
many more undiscovered exotic creatures. Still far only a fraction is
found by the depths of the oceans which deprive our eyes. From what
little we could discover people so far in the unfathomable depths,
only a tiny fraction has been explored. We can get in the exploration
of the seas and oceans have taken on a lot of adventurous surprises.
But not only in the mysterious depths of the ocean waiting for us on
many sensational discoveries. The water will surprise us in the future
with many hitherto unknown phenomena. What one scientist every single
drop of water could coax secrets to, is nothing but purely and simply
a sensation. Any attempt to explore the strange element is water, the
science of new puzzles. Still, this element surrounds with many
unexplained physical phenomena. The overall behavior of the element of
water falls completely outside the framework of physical, chemical and
biological properties that it should have due to its composition.

So far, 18 different forms of water are known. More than 40 anomalies
of water are still awaiting exploration. This strange element covered
more than 70% of the Earth. More than half the mass of any living
being is water. The human body is something 70 percent of this strange
medium. Water keeps yet another sensational for us:
Water has a memory.

(Water has an almost unlimited biophysical memory)

What a sensation still has in store for us: it can save energy and
biological information. Everything that has ever seen the water is
stored as information. Vibrations can also save water, as can be seen
again. All contacts of the water from its natural origin are up to our
tap water is stored as energy information in the water structure. At
each contact of water with a living these energetic information is
transmitted. So basic biological functions are influenced decisively.
On this basis, the effects are based e.g. homeopathy, and other
energetic therapies. Mysterious, effective forces of water are also
known by many so-called "holy wells". The tremendous biological impact
of the information transmission through water is an irrefutable
scientific fact. Water has an almost unlimited memory. The science
gradually realizes that water is more than the mere chemical compound
of hydrogen and oxygen.

The discovery of the biological forces of this exceptional item will
evolve in the near future a new era of health care, therapy and
wellness. Besoders the energetic quality of the water from our body
fluids are composed is an extremely important factor for our health.
For the drinking water of this fact has long been known. The same
applies to the water in which we bathe. The bio-energetic forces of
normal tap water are woefully unhealthy. On the way from the
waterworks to go to our tap water all the natural qualities of energy
lost. You can filter by various methods contaminate the water free of
many chemicals. To be rid of but the energetic impurities may
completely different technological methods are required. With modern
biotechnology, it is possible for water to neutralize energy, and he
returned to a healthy, natural-energy vibrational patterns. Just as
the nature and heavily pollutes the water kept coming back to clean,
fresh spring water turned back, so you can regenerate with the same
method and with the same success in your water. The novel
water-energizing system AQA 707 makes it possible in them now. The
result: healthy, vital and fresh water for their optimal health.

Energy through intense vortex effect

The centrifugal force of a powerful vortex like a tornado. He
dissolves the existing clusters. Thus, the "memories of the water"
erased his past and his contacts with agents. At the same time save
the water molecules, the tremendous kinetic energy, which they receive
by the strong vortex power. This stored energy give the water
elemental forces of a vital, healthy spring water.

Photon energy intensive

In nature, water molecules are permanently exposed to the sun's
energy. The only exception is the groundwater. It is normally not
accessible from living organisms such as animals and humans. The water
in the air, in the clouds, in rivers, lakes and the sea permanently
charged with energetic photons. Water that is pumped up from the dark
ground and then disappears in long pipe systems have no more than this
energy. The AQA 707 adds new energy to the water as it is transferred
from the natural sun on the water.

Energy by pulsing magnetic fields

Magnetic fields have an intense effect on water molecules. Especially
on the water, which consist of our body fluids. The entire development
of all living things originated under the influence of the natural
geomagnetic field. A deficiency or altered magnetic fields have
negative consequences on health. In the AQA 707 nature-identical
magnetic fields can be reproduced and transmitted to the water.

Energy fields through information

The memory of water is cleared from the battery through the A707
circular vortex effect. The water is now ready to accept new, healthy
information. For one-photon system is integrated, can be transferred
with the energetic information on the water. This method can be
manufactured in a simple manner, for example, crystal water, or
so-called light-water. It is comparable to the famous Hunza water.
Similarly, it can also easily homeopathic information and similar
energetic signals transmitted directly to the water.

The AQA 707 is applicable in many therapies. Many medical
practitioners, Natumediziner, therapists use the AQA 707 with great
success. Also for domestic use, it has proven its outstanding quality.

EANS-Adhoc: Süd-Chemie AG / Quarterly Report

Communication between first to 3 Quarter of 2010

Süd-Chemie Group is in the 3rd Quarter of 2010, positive earnings
growth after a weak start to the year continues: • Sales increase
after nine months of 2010 compared to the same period by 13.2 percent
to 896.4 million € • To adjusted for nonrecurring items (EBIT) after
three quarters of 2010 compared to 2009 by 22.1 percent increased to
77.3 million euros • Confirmation of Earnings Forecast for FY 2010

Performance in the first three quarters of 2010

General economic trends

The global economy has recovered from the slump caused by the
financial crisis faster than expected. The strong expansion of
production, which had begun about the middle of 2009, sat down after
the turn of the year continued in the first nine months of 2010.
Driven by high demand from emerging markets for industrial products,
especially the benefit of the export-oriented countries with a
competitive industry expanded, the world economy by the third Quarter
of 2010 strong. In almost all countries, continued normalization of
the continued capacity utilization, showed only in the U.S. at last
signs of a slowdown in economic dynamics. Total linked the emerging
markets in the first nine months of 2010 to its previous growth path
and developed much more dynamic than developed nations. As drivers of
global growth continues to prove itself, especially China, India and
South Korea, Brazil. In industrialized countries, the increase in
overall production has been toned down slightly overall. In the U.S.
and Japan slowed the pace of expansion. In Europe, however, won the
recovery momentum, this development had a significant influence on the
export-led manufacturing growth in Germany. Also, the volume of world
trade has benefited from the economic recovery and as a result of
significantly higher demand in emerging and developed countries in the
first nine months of 2010 continued to advance.

In this environment, the upswing in the global chemical industry has
continued. Meanwhile, the chemical industry has overcome the effects
of the economic crisis largely. The most important for Süd-Chemie
customer industry is developing very satisfactory. Especially in the
emerging Asian countries like India and China, the growth momentum at
a high level, but recently slowed - partly because of the expiry of
government stimulus measures. However, Japan could benefit from the
growth of neighboring countries and has, after a temporary decline in
the first quarter of 2010, chemical production expanded again,
reaching almost pre-crisis levels. In the U.S., however, the upturn in
the chemical industry is intact but still fragile, and the level
before the economic slump has not been reached. It looks better in
Latin America. Especially in Brazil, the chemical industry produces
more now than before the crisis. In Europe, driven by the dynamics of
export-driven economies such as Germany, reached the pre-crisis levels
in many parts of the chemicals business. However, let the dynamics of
the continuing solid growth last much after, as many customers have
been good again filled chemical warehouses. In Germany, reached the
capacity utilization of chemical plants again the usual level for the
industry. Engine of growth was the strong demand from abroad, but also
in the domestic chemical business with industrial customers going
well. The speed with which the industry is growing but has slowed
recently. This was expected since the chemical benefited early on as a
supplier of raw materials for many other industries from an economic
recovery. The uptrend remains unchanged.

Development of organizational structure

In light of our strategic focus and business, we regularly review our
organizational structure. This year we have the following two changes
made in our corporate structure. So we divided the rapidly expanding
industry group of plastic additives from 1 January 2010, the Packaging
Business Unit, and arranged them organizationally to the Adsorbents
and Additives Business, which helps us to realize synergies in our
plant in Moosburg. Also for the first January 2010, we streamlined our
structures in South Africa for this purpose, we transferred the
business of the Süd-Chemie Water & Process Technologies (Pty) Ltd,
Chloorkop, and Süd-Chemie Adsorbents SA (Pty) Ltd, Chloorkop, the
Süd-Chemie SA ( Pty) Ltd, Chloorkop. By transferring, we reduce the
one hand reduce the complexity of our organizational structure and on
the other hand our annual administrative costs in South Africa.

In mid-July 2010, we have conversations with our long-time joint
venture partner in the European foundry market Ashland Chemical Inc.,
Covington, Kentucky / USA, for the concentration of the global foundry
chemicals business of both companies successfully completed. We assume
that the closing occurred, and thus the joint venture agreement later
this year in force.

In September 2010, we have decided to end the production of protective
packaging tubes for the pharmaceutical and dietary supplement
industry, Süd-Chemie (Switzerland) AG in Romont / Switzerland due to
continued losses and close the site until late 2010. Also in the
Packaging Business Unit, we already had in the spring of 2010, the
closure of the plant in New Milford / USA decided and shifted
production to the existing site in Belen / USA.

Business Süd-Chemie Group

The ongoing recovery in the world chemical markets has been
significant positive impact on the business of the Süd-Chemie Group in
2010. After the business was started at the beginning of slow, it has
picked up significantly as the year progresses. Especially in the core
businesses, we strengthened our competitive position through targeted
regional expansion projects and led a new and improved products on the
market. This upward trend is reflected in the sales and earnings.

Group sales rose in the first nine months of 2010 compared to the same
period to € 104.5 million, or 13.2 percent to 896.4 million €.
Exchange rate effects had a € 42.6 million in the last quarter of 2009
and the recent acquisitions and newly formed joint ventures with € 5.2
million positive impact on sales. The recovery is due primarily to the
dynamic development of the economic crisis in the severely affected
areas of foundry chemicals, plastic additives and environmental
catalysts. Now, however, the high-yield and relatively resistant to
economic fluctuations business with industrial catalysts has increased
significantly: After a weak start to the year had sales of this area
after six months, well below the previous year, while the area after
nine months the previous year's sales already easily.

The world economy is also reflected in significantly improved in the
positive group result (EBIT) down. Although we could achieve with a
net profit of EUR 72.5 million, EBIT of the three previous quarters in
the amount of 76.5 million euros not quite, although it should be
remembered that last year's results included a gain related to the
acquisition of catalyst plant in Nanjing / China in the amount of 15.8
million includes €. Adjusted for all special items EBIT increased
significantly compared to the corresponding period last year by 22.1
percent and amounts to € 77.3 million. This improvement in operating
earnings resulted from the increase in sales and in comparison to the
corresponding period last year improved asset utilization. In
addition, EBIT benefited in the first nine months of 2010 from a more
profitable product mix, cost savings and price increases. Had a
negative impact the continued high costs for start-up businesses

result (EBIT) also developed positively: it rose faster than sales of
8.2 million euros or 43.6 percent, reaching 27.0 million euros. Sales
and earnings are due primarily to the cyclical rise in business volume
and the associated higher equipment utilization. In addition, a more
profitable product mix improved the result. Most clearly was the
revival of business in the two industrial groups foundry additives and
plastic additives, especially the business of foundry additives
recorded after the 2010 recession-related drop in demand last year a
strong pick. The business had on 30 September 2010 a total of 1689

cyclical nature of the environmental catalysts moved in 2010 compared
to same period last year to clear, and the sales of battery materials
industry group grew noticeably, albeit still at low levels. During the
reporting period, the division's sales increased significantly
compared to the same period by 16.9 million euros or 75.4 percent to
39.3 million euros. The positive performance is characterized in
earnings from operations (EBIT), although high, but the planned
start-up costs for building our future battery materials business made
a positive contribution of business nor prevent. Despite a significant
increase in sales due to strong demand for lithium iron phosphate,
which is in the production of cathode for high-performance lithium ion
batteries used in particular in the automotive sector increasingly,
the business registered with battery materials remain high start-up
losses, which impacted the outcome of the division during the
reporting period. As at 30 September 2010, the division 186 employees,

to mid July 2010 the rate fluctuated in a range between 92.00 € and
100.00 € before the stock price on 15 July 2010 but rose again over €
100.00 and up to the end of the third Quarter remained consistently
above that mark. So ended the securities, the first three quarters of
2010 with a price of € 104.50 €. Thus, the market capitalization at

Outlook for the full year 2010

The outlook for the global economy have deteriorated a little last
though, seems a relapse into recession, as much for the world economy
as a whole and for the major economies in the industrialized countries
at present unlikely. Become economic expansion in emerging countries
seems even now a major economic engine in the world to be and not to
depend much more on developments in the industrialized nations. The
domestic economic buoyancy of emerging markets should remain until the
end of the year remains intact, especially since monetary policy will
probably continue to be expansionary. The current slowdown of the
boom-to-read results primarily in the industrialized countries from
the expiry of the temporary stimulus programs and less from the fear
of a relapse into recession underlying trend. Although there are a
number of industrialized countries wachstumsverlangsamende factors
such as high unemployment and consequent weakness of household
consumption, but the positive global economic sentiment and the
expansionary monetary policy argue against an imminent slide into
another recession. In line with the predictions of the Chemical
Industry Association (VCI), we expect full-year 2010 with an increase
in world economic output by at least 3.5 percent. For the
manufacturing value added, which moves in the South mostly chemistry,
we expect a growth rate of around 10 percent. Growth will be driven by
each of the dynamic development of Asia. World trade will continue to
grow, we expect a growth of over 10 percent.

In FY 2010, the chemical production will grow strong. The capacity
utilization of the facilities now moves back to the normal level for
the industry. Even if the growth rate at the end probably subside
slightly, is the world's chemical production was in 2010 - according
to the VCI forecast - can grow by over 7 percent. The growth rate in
2010 of the European Union (EU) should just lie about the growth of
chemical production in Germany much more than about 10 percent.

We remain committed to our successful strategy. It is based on the
steady increase in innovative capacity, strengthening customer
orientation, the optimization of business processes and expanding our
business portfolio. In the years before the recession and the
recession it has proven itself. With our effective and efficient
structure, internal processes, we continuously optimize our corporate
program, SC EXCELLENCE, we will leverage our leading global market
positions and opportunities which we use consistently.

The course of the first nine months of this year - and especially the
past three months - shows that we need our fix at the beginning of
2010 made sales forecast for fiscal year 2010 upwards: we deliver
goods in March 2010, still from a total annual turnover around € 1.125
billion expected, we now expect revenue for fiscal year 2010 of around
1.2 billion €. This corresponds to the previous year, an increase of
over 10 percent. The shift from license revenues in the coming year we
expect, despite the higher sales forecast unchanged with an increase
in adjusted EBIT for special items of around 10 percent. In addition,
we expect later this fiscal year included a gain in the low
double-digit million range in connection with the formation of joint
ventures in the global foundry chemical sector with Ashland Inc.,
Covington, Kentucky / USA, should the deal as planned in the 4th
Quarter of 2010 made.
