"Our engineering team was on site at the Demonstration Project this week to complete the system installation, startup testing, and commissioning, with the intention of achieving treatment voltage levels. During the startup cycle, the system initially established a baseline (below operating/treatment level) high voltage. However, once a baseline voltage was achieved, system voltage would decay well below the baseline value. When powered up to a baseline level, voltage and amperage measurements were within expected levels, generally indicating the newly installed grid pack and blind flange assembly have been properly specified and configured, and that the new power supply should have sufficient power to achieve treatment voltages. In repeated tests, once that baseline level was achieved, voltage decayed well below the baseline.
It does not seem likely the problem we are experiencing with voltage decay is related to the short circuit indicated in previous tests since voltage can now be repeatably applied to the AOT while operated under pressure with crude oil flowing through the system. When we experienced the short circuit while operating under pressure in previous tests, it was not possible to apply voltage to the AOT without the system exhibiting characteristics of a “dead short”, or electrical short-circuit.
It is unclear at this time if the voltage decay experienced in our startup testing cycle is due to power supply operations or is occurring internally to the AOT. Our engineers gathered data while on site and are reviewing data and observations with third-party experts, and we are working with the manufacturer of the power supply to gain their assistance in diagnosing the problem."
You cant make this stuff up! Epic failure at all levels. Obviously they do not possess the engineering prowess to solve the most basic of problems with just turning the magic pipe on.
Last Q shows cash down to "sticks and stems" and they will again run of cash in JULY. Its no wonder they cut expenses to a 100K a month. Looks Remple not getting their FAT yearly 187K licensing extortion bill paid anytime soon. NO worries they collect 10% a years in interest on past due fees whcih greatly excess $1M.
