STWA (ZERO) Delivers Greater Operational Efficiencies to the Energy Industry with Crude Oil Pipeline Optimization Technologies
Save The World Air, Inc., d/b/a STWA, develops integrated solutions for the energy industry designed to improve the economics and efficiencies of crude oil pipelines at time when producers and transporters are intensely focused on reducing operational overhead. With a single-minded focus on the application of electrical fields directly to crude oil while in transit, STWA is uniquely positioned as a vendor of “clean tech” systems to the global energy sector.
STWA’s flagship offering is AOT (Applied Oil Technology), patent-protected industrial hardware proven to reduce viscosity of crude oil, ensuring it flows more readily in the pipeline and at higher volumes which helps mitigate “bottlenecks” that slow throughput. The AOT system subjects oil to an electrical field in a single- or multi-vessel hardware configuration, causing naturally occurring particulate matter such as paraffin, asphaltene and other impurities to clump together, decreasing their surface volume. Once AOT is deployed on pipeline pumping stations, oil production and transportation companies benefit from the safer, more cost-effective delivery of greater volumes of oil while reducing energy consumption and lowering CO2 emissions.
AOT Viscosity Reduction System benefits:
• Increases maximum flow rates
• Reduces pump station power consumption
• Optimizes flow assurance
• Enhances pipeline integrity
• Prevention of bottlenecks
AOT incorporates patented technology originally developed at Temple University in Philadelphia, Penn. and field tested by the U.S. Department of Energy. During the past four years of research and development, AOT has been inspected, certified, and approved to meet or exceed the specifications and quality control requirements of all applicable industrial testing and certification laboratories, leading midstream producers, and transportation entities, including deployment on two high volume pipelines.
STWA is also in the process of commercializing STWA Joule Heat, an energy-efficient heating system designed to compete with existing pipeline heating solutions. Developed to treat a wide spectrum of crude oils and designed to withstand extreme weather conditions, SJH is electrically powered, compact and adaptable to a variety of environments, from pipelines and oil fields to marine, rail and truck offloading facilities.
Unlike traditional trace heating systems, SJH is configured to deliver maximum heat conductivity by making direct contact with feedstock within the apparatus, an ASME-code pressure vessel, providing better performance at a lower operating cost.
In support of its clients’ commitment to the responsible sourcing of energy and environmental stewardship, STWA is dedicated to investing in scientific research and collaborative efforts with industry leaders to increase productivity and lower operational costs within the upstream, midstream and gathering sectors here in North America and overseas. The company leadership’s proven ability to design, install, operate and optimize industrial equipment to enhance the performance of existing pipeline infrastructure, improve throughput and mitigate the environmental impact of moving crude provides STWA with opportunities to supply technology to today’s more sustainable and efficiency-minded energy industry.
