Such hypocrisy. You are willing to go to the mat with the beakers and test tube numbers which have none of the characteristics of a pipeline, but suddenly a field test on an actual pipeline isn't good enough to compare it to. What a joke! Here is the absurd quote:
Forget about the fact that a positive displacement pump was used at the RMOTC site and pumped crude through a loop at nowhere near the pressure or velocity of a real active line
By the way, what about the fact that the pump was a positive displacement pump? What is your point here? The AOT treatment will take place after the pump. The reason a positive displacement pump was used at the RMOTC test was to minimize the shearing forces on the oil as it travel around the loop and through the pump multiple times during each test. In the real world the AOT treatment effects would not be subject to the extraordinary shearing forces of the pump as an AOT will be situated after each pump. The fact that the numbers are as good as they under those circumstances is remarkable. 1 barrel of oil treated with beakers and a test tube using 0.10 kW, 293 barrels treated in a field test on a real 6" pipeline (many feeder lines are actually smaller than this) with that same 0.10 kW of power. Your rebuttal is this:
Another absurd calculation ignoring the reality of scale
Wrong again. This wasn't a calculation, it was data from a field test on a 6" pipeline.
Will the AOT treatment be effective on a larger pipeline under more difficult circumstances? That is why QSEP is doing more testing.
