Tests recently conducted at Temple University in Philadelphia demonstrated that the use of a patent pending, pulsed EM device resulted in substantial reductions in the viscosity of crude oil. Such a reduction could yield a variety of benefits to the oil and gasoline industries including more efficient flow through pipelines, better refining processes, and improved fuel economy. A major international engineering and oil refinery construction company sponsored the tests of this licensed technology developed by Save the World Air (STWA). Light crude oils are easier to refine than heavy crude and tend to trade at a premium price. At times this premium has been as much as $20 per barrel. Dr. Rongjia Tao, a Temple University physicist, estimated substantial savings could result from the use of this EM technology especially as compared to other methods such as adding chemicals or gasoline to heavy crude. In light of recently escalating demand, this technology could be especially significant given the quantity of heavy crude available throughout the world.
