“Protected by NDA” is just another overused excuse for Qsep NOT to share its results which obviously provided no evidence of a benefit to operators.
This is from the RMOTC test
“In October of 2011, the U.S. DOE RMOTC published results stating that the Company's AOT™ prototype delivered increases in pipeline efficiency of 13.14% to 13.55%. Following that announcement, the Company received strong interest from industry professionals regarding how AOT™ would impact oil flow capacity, oil flow rates, and most specifically pressure drop in pipelines. This most recent test was conducted to deliver the key metrics sought by oil pipeline industry decision makers. In the course of this testing, the U.S. DOE RMOTC found that the new AOT™ prototype delivered improved performance over the AOT™ prototype tested in October”
“The crude oil viscosity was observed to reduce by 40.01% from its baseline of 81.6 cp (centipoise) to its treated viscosity state of 48.95 cp. The direct benefits were that the discharge pressure of the positive displacement pump at 30hz was reduced from its baseline of 218 psi to a low of 186 psi as the fluid exhibited reduced pressure loss per mile, and returned to normal baseline levels as the treated fluid exited the pipeline. The pressure drop was observed to reduce 40.04% from 24.8 psi/mile to 14.87 psi/mile when the AOT™ system was engaged, and slowly return to normal as the treated fluid exited the pipeline.
The results for the Reynolds # were an increase of 66.70% from 1205.237 before treatment, to 2009.138 after treatment with the viscosity reduction device.
The results for the friction loss were a decrease of 39.62% from .053 before treatment to .032 after treatment with the viscosity reduction device.
The results for the pressure loss (dyne/cm?2) were a decrease of 40.00% from 1,379,000 to 827,400.”
The only logical reason is that the company tests failed
"The above test results clearly show that the viscosity reduction technology, AOT, has the ability to significantly reduce the viscosity of Daqing crude oil, Changqing crude oil, and Venezuela crude oil. Especially, the viscosity reduction for Daqing crude oil and Changqing crude oil is extremely effective. For Daqing crude oil, the AOT can reduce its viscosity by more than 80% at 35ºC, and 40ºC. For Changqing crude oil, the AOT can reduce its viscosity by more than 78% at 26ºC. The tests also show that the viscosity reduction effect lasts more than 24 hours. The technology reduces the viscosity very fast, in a couple of seconds, and consumes little energy."
"Based on the above, AOT has made a breakthrough in crude oil viscosity reduction, and is an internationally leading new and high technology. It is widely applicable to reduce viscosity in both paraffin and asphalt based crude oil. The application of AOT will bring in remarkable and long lasting effect in changing China's high energy consumption and high risk crude oil transportation industry. Its application will eventually bring in major economic and social effects for the business and the State alike."
Please explain why we are about to go on another pipeline of a major multi-billion dollar energy company to test the AOT's ability to reduce viscosity of crude oil with an electric field.
Please explain the report from the second largest Chinese oil company verifying that Dr. Tao's electric field did in fact reduce the viscosity of crude oil.
Please explain how the AOT was run for one week, 24 hours a day, on a live pipeline in China achieving "results consistent with" the amazing lab test results I highlighted in post #46965.
Please explain how the engineers working for the DOE verified test results indicating the viscosity of crude oil was reduced by the AOT.
Please explain how ATS concluded that the AOT reduced viscosity of crude oil treated on the TransCanada pipeline. Don't throw in the red herring about the initial test being flawed. ATS said that a subsequent test showed viscosity reduction and that it could have been better if the engineering of the device was improved.
the first full test of the AOT equipment on the Keystone pipeline was performed in July 2014 by Dr. Rongjia Tao of Temple University, with subsequent testing performed by an independent laboratory, ATS RheoSystems, a division of CANNON (“ATS”) in September 2014. Upon review of the July 2014 test results and preliminary report by Dr. Tao, QS Energy and TransCanada mutually agreed that this initial test was flawed due to, among other factors, the short term nature of the test, the inability to isolate certain independent pipeline operating factors such as fluctuations in upstream pump station pressures, and limitations of the AOT device to produce a sufficient electric field to optimize viscosity reduction. Subsequent testing by ATS in September 2014 demonstrated viscosity reductions of 8% to 23% depending on flow rates and crude oil types in transit. In its summary report, ATS concluded that i) data indicated a decrease in viscosity of crude oil flowing through the TransCanada pipeline due to AOT treatment of the crude oil; and ii) the power supply installed on our equipment would need to be increased to maximize reduction in viscosity and take full advantage of the AOT technology.
Obviously the crude oil viscosity was reduced for significantly longer than a few milliseconds.. But hey, why should we believe actual field tests run by actual scientists?
