Each time you increase the efficiency at one point (or segment of the pipeline : length of segment = V (speed) X time effect of the viscosity reduction (several hours)= approx 40 miles) you increase the flow of the whole pipeline. It's a cumulative effect, beginning from the first AOT installed. Priority order would be : first, place them at bottlenecks, then on regular spaced points (40 miles) of the pipeline, then if the engineer has calculated that the pipeline has even more potential (ie can accept more flow at the lower viscosity, given the diameter of the tube), go see if the source can be increased (feeder lines) by placing mini AOTs.
