QS Energy, Inc. entered into an agreement with a major U.S.-based pipeline operator under which the Company installed its AOT equipment on a crude oil pipeline located in the Southern United States for testing and demonstration purposes. Based on laboratory tests and operations of prototype equipment at other locations, the company had a reasonable expectation that the equipment would operate successfully and that test results would demonstrate quantifiable benefits to pipeline operators.
QS Energy, Inc. develops and seeks to commercialize energy efficiency technologies that assist in improving the economics of oil transport and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Its intellectual properties include a portfolio of domestic and international patents, a substantial portion of which have been developed in conjunction with and licensed by it from Temple University of Philadelphia, PA. Its primary technology is called Applied Oil Technology (AOT), a commercial-grade crude oil pipeline transportation flow-assurance product. AOT is engineered specifically to reduce pipeline pressure loss, increase pipeline flow rate and capacity, and reduce shippersâ reliance on diluents and drag reducing agents to meet pipeline maximum viscosity requirements. Its AOT crude oil viscosity reduction technology directly targets the heavy crude oil transportation industry, initially targeting the midstream crude oil pipeline operations which deliver high volumes of heavy crude oil to market.
