  1. Hydrodynamic Technology Increasing the Value of Heavy Crude Dr. Max Fomitchev-Zamilov

  2. Crude Oil Problem Light crude: easy to refine, but expensiveBrent = $110/barrel Heavy crude: cheaper, but expensive to refineCapEx for state-of-the-art refinery >$1 Billion USD Heavy crude: expensive to pumpDoes not flow easily due to high viscosityRequires expensive diluent (naphtha)$4-8/barrel in pipeline transportation costs

  3. Quantum Vortex Solution Hydrodynamic cavitation, extreme shear & vorticity The process allows for efficient transfer of mechanical energy of liquid into internal energy of molecular bonds As a result, molecular bonds in hydrocarbon chains break

  4. Competitive Comparison QVI Technology • Hydrodynamic Processing • Low conversion (2-15%) • ~$1M CapEx • Zero environmental impact • Immediate ROI Conventional Technology Delayed Coking Deep conversion (70-80%) $100M-$1B CapEx Huge environmental impact 20+ years ROI

  5. Opportunity: Oil Extraction Increase output from existing wells Revive old / stripper wells Surface-mounted or well-mounted well sonication device 5-30% production increase Extremely low cost per well

  6. Opportunity: Oil Upgrading Increase heavy crude oil quality and value Increase API 5-20% Additional value: $1-2/barrel Reduce viscosity 5-50% Employ stand-alone unitor integrate with an existingtank farm

  7. Opportunity: Pipelines Lower transportation costs, boost volume Reduce diluent costs Reduce viscosity 5-50% Viscosity reduction could betemporary or permanent Pre-treat crude prior totransportationor integratewith pipeline infrastructure

  8. Opportunity: Refineries Increase refining efficiency and profitability Boost light distillate yield 2-5% Upgrade residues Minimum CapEx Primarily older refineries Simple integration

  9. U.S. Corporation Headquarters at Penn State Innovation Park Operating since 2010 State-of-the art facilities

  10. Mission: supplier of innovative crude oil upgrading technology to the world market Services: solution development, crude oil testing, technology licensing, hardware sales R&D: cavitation hardware development and validation; development of customer-specific applications of cavitation technology (including waste water treatment)
