“wer requirements (Figure 14b).
Figure 14b displays the experimental pump power reduction after the application of ER treatment. Before the treatment, the pump required a power of 2826 kW to transport the crude oil. After 2 hours of treatment, the pump power requirements stabilized at around 800 kW, while Q remained constant at 2280 m3/h. In this case, the total reduction of pumping power requirements was 71.7%.
In this experimental study, the AOT device required <1 kW of power; while the pumping power required to transport the heavy crude oil at a Q = 2280 m3/h was signi cantly reduced with overall power savings > 2000 kW. These experimental observations con rm the theoretical predictions and demonstrate the e ciency of this technology for transporting heavy crude oil via pipeline.”
Let’s just look at old Tao’s claims!
Flowrate on Tcpl test 2280 m3/h which should be no surprise that it doesn’t equal the much advertised 500k bpd. I’m sure investors must be happy management strapped four Aots together so that they could run a lower volume test for just a few hours! This all cherry picked data that will never hold up under industrial applications.
That’s why Tcpl yanked it, terminated the contract after only 90 days even though they had a 6 month term! Then to add insult to injury management claims the Tcpl device was “ underpowered” and no conclusion could be made but Tao clearly states he saw world changing power savings! Any engineer making those claims at a private company would have a short period to prove the theory. Tao has had more than a decade and still going strong. It’s s pay to publish mentality and nothing has changed. His data would be ripped in pieces by any reasonable scientific examination of his these outlandish claims. 71% reduction in power!!!! Really???
