Petrosonic presentation

upgrades heavy crude

Conventional catalytic crackers

Works at ±500°CDifficult process controlHigh maintenance (carbonization)Large scale economicsHigh cost equipment and catalysts

Sonic technology

Sound/magnetic waves at (±150°C)= lower operating costFaster, more uniform processingNo moving parts – low maintenanceSmall modular footprint for field deploymentLower capex (~$3m per module)
