(the \"Company\") (OTCQB: QSEP), a developer of integrated technology solutions for the energy industry, today announced that it has been asked to expand its product line by developing a high volume AOT (Applied Oil Technology) viscosity reduction pressure vessel called the AOT-XL to improve flow efficiency within an existing crude oil offloading marine terminal. An earlier feasibility study had concluded that to accommodate the operational flow rates of this customer, a complicated and overly expensive deluge of standard AOT units would be required, which would have surpassed the available space for installation. The solution was to design the AOT-XL, a customized system capable of handling extreme flow rates while substantially reducing the complexity of installation and footprint necessary to position the system as requested.This collaborative project involves a trial assessment and then full and potentially customer sponsored final engineering of the AOT-XL. This specially configured, high volume AOT system was designed upon request by the management team of a trusted, long-term collaborative partner within the midstream sector of the domestic energy industry. Intended for very high volume pipeline environments, the AOT-XL will be fabricated to meet a target of 25,000 barrels per hour capacity (600,000 bpd). Initial laboratory tests of the efficacy of AOT functionality on one of the customer's crude oil samples at Temple University has also shown favorable results. Following a series of site visits by Mr. Bigger and the QS Energy product development team, the Company is currently working towards the goal of collaboratively engineering the custom AOT-XL vessels, in conformity with strict ASME requirements, for an installation and further evaluation.Mr. Bigger added that the opportunity to customize AOT technology for the marine tanker offloading facility was a direct result of QS Energy's involvement at the 2014 Pipeline Energy Group Conference, an invitation-only industry meeting held annually. ...
