“Tests at the RMOTC pipeline also evaluated the lifespan of the ER treatment. These field tests used the pipeline loop described in Section C and employed a crude oil with an API° 34° and an initial viscosity of 118.06 cP. The positive displacement pump drove the crude oil through the AOT device and the pipeline loop during six and half hours. The electric field applied was 2 kV/cm, which reduced the viscosity of the crude oil along the flow direction from 118.06 to 51.8 cP (viscosity reduction of 56.12%). After 6.5 hours, the AOT device was turned-off, but the crude oil circulated the pipeline loop for more than 11 hours. During this period, the pressure loss across the pipeline loop and the pump power requirements were continuously monitored.”

“The application of a strong electric field in a small section of the oil pipeline causes the polarization of suspended particles contained in the oil phase aggregating them into short chains along the flow direction.”

Here is a 2016 paper Tao makes up his own version of reality by suggesting that a non polar viscous crude under high pressure is polarized and stays that way for 11 hours! Btw also includes the double whammy decreasing viscosity in the direction of the flow but increasing viscosity perpendicular to the flow which he claims solves the two prong problem of turbulence and viscosity. References include stating that Tcpl was a successful at viscosity reduction and also puts in China data as making reduction that would have won him the noble prize or whatever medal of Mao the CCP issues!
