Disclaimer

This LewaPlus software program is used for the dimensioning and calculation of Ion Exchange resin, Reverse Osmosis (hereafter RO) and Ultrafiltration
(hereafter UF) membrane systems applied in water treatment applications.

Within this program, Lanxess makes available to the system designer certain know-how concerning the design and operation of specific Lanxess
engineered ion exchange products (in unique system configurations such as fluidized bed, lift bed, multistep- and rinse bed technologies) as well as other
existing ion exchange technologies. In addition, Lanxess makes available to the system designer certain information about the design and operation of RO
and UF membrane systems, including scaling calculations, chemical and energy costs projections, and capital and operating cost projections based on the
pretreatment of the feed water, and design decisions made by the designer.

This know-how is given in good faith but without warranty, Our advice does not release you from the obligation to verify the information currently provided
- especially that contained in our safety data and technical information sheets - and to test our products as to their suitability for the intended processes
and uses. The application, use and processing of our products and the products manufactured by you on the basis of our technical advice are beyond our
control and, therefore, entirely your own responsibility.

Our products are sold in accordance with the current version of our General Conditions of Sale and Delivery.
