Where is your patent-protected AOT hardware fabricated and are your supply chain partners under non-disclosure agreements?
Industrial Screen & Maintenance, Inc. and Power Service, Inc., both located in Casper, Wyoming, currently serve as our fabrication arm, with various suppliers providing smaller assemblies such as power supplies and electrical (NEMA) enclosures. All are covered with non-disclosure agreements which remain in force indefinitely. In the event of larger purchase orders, additional supply chain partners have been identified. For international orders, initial builds will be American made, however we may need to eventually establish supply chains in various qualified areas.
As CEO of QS Energy, how do you manage the quality assurance and performance standards necessary to commercialize AOT within one of the most demanding industries in the world?
QS Energy takes its responsibility to ensure the highest degree of safety, quality and reliability seriously. As a recognized supplier of technology to pipeline operators, we are an ISO/TS 29001 compliant entity and strictly adhere to U.S. and international engineering standards and practices, including ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers), ISO (International Organization for Standardization, AISC (American Institute of Steel Construction), and our equipment has been certified for use in Canada under a CRN (Canadian Registration Number) for pressure vessel quality assurance. Each AOT vessel and all piping, connectors and electrical components are fabricated according to exacting specifications and undergo rigorous pressure testing and other performance protocols prior to transport to the client location. Installation of AOT systems is performed by top-tier civil and petroleum engineering contractors under the direct supervision of QS Energy and our customers' internal technicians.

Following fabrication and pressure testing, this 110-ton unit was ASME-certified, approved for use in hazardous location Class 1, Div. I. rated areas and installed on a 500,000 barrel per day mid-continent pipeline operated by a $36 billion North American energy company.
What is the process involved in transporting 30,000 pounds of hardware to customers active in remote locations or overseas?
Primary fabrication and pre-installation preparation of AOT systems are performed by our supply chain partners in Casper, Wyoming. This central, Mountain Time Zone location provides delivery capability within two-to-three days by freight truck to leading oil production regions such as North Dakota, Montana, Utah, Colorado, Alberta, Oklahoma and Texas. The inaugural beta deployment of a four-vessel AOT system was trucked on six flatbeds to Udall, Kansas for installation on a 500,000 barrels per day pipeline, representing a payload of 110 tons. QS Energy's distribution of AOT hardware extends to Europe, Asia, Africa, the Middle East and South America through the ports of Houston, South Louisiana and Long Beach, via container and cargo vessels.
