We have also validated that a new design concept for the grid pack will reduce arcing and allowed us to apply full voltage during a recent test. A 3rd party engineering firm with proper experience and three-dimensional modeling software was engaged.
In August 2022 we completed the testing of the stack assembly. The stack assembly did not suffer the arcing problems we saw when testing a stack assembly made from parts of the full size AOT. It appears that we have accomplished the goal of eliminating the sources of arcing that prevented us from achieving treatment voltages with this new design.
The power supply did not shut down due to arcing nor any other issues and we were able to test the stack assembly up to 40 kV in oil; the maximum output of the power supply. While we do not expect to see free water in pipeline quality crude oil, we wanted to see the effect of free water on the stack assembly. We added sufficient water to disrupt normal operation, but we were able to slowly increase voltage to treatment voltage over a time. This gives us confidence that if water were to enter the system, we would be able to return a full size AOT to normal operating conditions.
we would also consider designing, testing and commercializing a smaller scale AOT unit targeting upstream, trucking and rail applications. This strategy could reduce development time and costs, with the intention of moving back into the midstream crude oil pipeline market subsequent to successful commercial operations at a smaller scale.
