INCORRECT. It only cost $500 to walk it down before the come back occurred. Here is more of the TRUTH. Updated infor from the CORPORATE PROFILE on the JOULE HEAT technology
Joule Heat is a new generation of pipeline heating technology configured to deliver maximum heat conductivity by making direct contact with feedstock within the apparatus, an ASMEcode pressure vessel, providing better performance at a lower operating cost. Developed by QS Energy and fabricated and assembled entirely in the United States, Joule Heat treats a wide spectrum of feedstock and is designed to withstand extreme weather conditions. It is electrically powered, compact and adaptable to a variety of environments, from pipelines and oil fields to marine, rail and truck offloading facilities.
How Joule Heat Works
Joule Heat is an electrically powered crude oil heating technology specifically developed for use on pipelines and within offloading facilities, and potentially for refineries. Joule Heat subjects the oil to a direct and intense electric field that increases temperature uniformly without interrupting flow. Preliminary testing of Joule Heat suggests efficiencies of over 60% when converting electrical energy into internal energy in oil, compared to efficiencies of approximately 30% typical in trace heat systems.
Innovative Heat Solutions for Today’s Leaner, Sustainable Energy Industry
Joule Heat provides E&P entities, pipeline operators and rail, marine and truck offload facilities with a new class of heat treatment options. With a smaller form factor than trace heating systems, offering virtually unlimited configuration options, Joule Heat is a plug and deploy system, requiring only in-flow and out-flow piping and access to a standard electrical wall outlet.
Joule Heat is highly configurable to a variety of applications and can be modified to your exacting specifications.
