Lithium Exploration Group Ultrasonic Generator Test Results Indicate Potential 1000% Efficiency Improvement Over Conventional Separation Processing
 
Phoenix, AZ -- February 23, 2017 -- InvestorsHub NewsWire -- Lithium Exploration Group Inc. (USOTC: LEXG) today announced preliminary results from testing conducted last week.  The Sonic Cavitation Ltd Ultrasonic Generator was configured to evaluate the technology’s flow capacity in the heat treating of oil.  Extensive analysis of the test results is underway.  Preliminary results for heating oil to 160 degrees Fahrenheit at a flow rate of 36 barrels per hour indicates that the Ultrasonic Generator may be as much as 1000% more efficient in the separation of gas and water from oil than the conventional separators that use burner tubes and combustion of natural gas. 
 
The field test results so far indicate that the actual performance of the Ultrasonic Generator is far better than the results featured in a press release on January 26, 2017 which did not measure the volume of oil processed.  This test increased the flow of oil through the system and ran at an overall lower temperature which significantly decreased the power consumption. Traditional heat treaters utilize a burner tube and combustion of natural gas to reach a specific flow and temperature required by the operator.  Over time the fire tubes in these treaters lose the efficiency of how they transfer heat to the oil in the tank.   Our preliminary research shows that a treater with an older fire tube can lose as much as 65% of its efficiency in heat transfer.  This test demonstrated that for an operator utilizing an older heat tube in their treater has the potential to increase in efficiency as much as 1000% and at the same time go to a zero emissions treater.
 
The increased industry interest in lithium batteries continues to make the Ultrasonic Generator even more valuable in the long-term in regard to its potential for efficiently separating lithium from lithium Brine.  However, the revenue potential in the lithium industry is yet to be developed while the revenue potential of the Ultrasonic Generator in the oil industry is likely much more immediate.  Accordingly, LEXG will continue developing the potential of the Ultrasonic Generator in both the oil and Lithium battery sectors.
