TWA's AOT Viscosity Reduction Systems

Our AOT crude oil viscosity reduction technology is designed to work as an add-on component to upstream gathering pipelines and midstream long-distance transportation pipelines.   The new technology uses ultra-low amperage electric fields to aggregate the paraffin and/or asphaltene particles inherent to crude oil into microscopic clusters, allowing the viscosity of the fluid to decrease quickly and easily.  The advantage of the technology is that it reduces the friction between the crude oil and in the inside of the pipeline, allowing the oil to travel through the pipeline using less energy per mile.  This reduced friction allows the pipeline to operate at a faster flow rate before reaching its maximum pressure limits, while reducing the energy consumed per ton of product to move each mile.  The benefits are that the same pipeline can move more product per day, while reducing its power consumption per ton of product moved.  This results in a "de-bottlenecking" of the pipeline, while improving its carbon emissions footprint at the same time.

We have elected to focus substantively all our efforts and resources to the development and commercialization of our AOT technology. At this time, our efforts and resources devoted to our ELEKTRA technology are minimal.
