And there is this from updated company profile:
AOT technology is equally effective as a stand-alone solution or when deployed as a supplement to existing technology in a category of industrial products called ‘flow assurance’ or ‘drag reduction’ agents. Drag occurs in crude during transport due to naturally occurring paraffin and asphaltene particulates. Historically oil producers have improved flow by reducing the viscosity of crude with diluents or other types of drag reducing agents that dilute the oil by as much as 50 percent. STWA’s AOT technology differs from dilutant techniques in that it operates by applying a non- uniform electric charge (dielectrophoresis) to fluids during transport. AOT technology aggregates sub-micron particulate matter into nano- and micron-scale clusters Dielectrophoresis engages the paraffin and the asphaltene content in crude oil, creating a conformational change to the molecular structure. Altering the paraffin and/or aphaltene in the crude oil reduces total surface area of the molecules for a constant volume fraction, thereby reducing the drag within the fluid itself. By lowering viscosity of the crude, pipeline systems benefit from higher flow rates, reduced system pressure, less wear and tear on components and potentially greater margins of operational safety.
