Another update. June 18, 2020: AOT Demonstration Project Brief Update

Installation of the modified AOT grid pack and blind flange assembly has commenced. As noted in yesterday’s update, the equipment arrived at the demonstration site on Tuesday, June 16th. Our pipeline partner installed the grid pack and blind flange assembly this afternoon, June 18th, overseen by Christopher Gallagher and Shannon Rasmussen of QS Energy. During the assembly and pre-installation procedure, our engineers conducted a series of high voltage impedance tests to verify both electrical continuity and the impedance of the assembled grid pack and blind flange. These tests showed that the system continues to test at high levels of impedance indicating the new insulating materials are performing as expected, consistent with earlier tests on the newly modified design described in the June 17, 2020 update.

Early next week, our pipeline partner is scheduled to complete the electrical hookup and install additional SCADA (system control and data acquisition) equipment at the site. Based on our most recent schedule, we plan to complete installation, start-up testing and commissioning next week (see the June 17, 2020 update for a description the startup and commissioning test cycle). Assuming successful commissioning, demonstration AOT test operations should begin by the end of next week, or shortly thereafter.

We look forward to providing you with status updates in near future.
