Effects of Diluent Addition and Mixing Conditions on Solvent Deasphalting of Bitumen Emulsions
DownloadFall 2020
Unconventional oil reserves, such as Canada’s oil sands, must replace dwindling conventional oil supplies to meet the globally increasing energy demands. Canada is home to the third largest oil reserves, primarily in the form of bitumen deposits. Unlike conventional oil, bitumen has some unique...

Phase separation by dilution with poor solvents is important for many separation processes, notably asphaltene precipitation in paraffinic froth treatment (PFT) in oil sands extraction. PFT is a step of bitumen froth treatment in which paraffinic solvent is added to the bitumen froth to reduce...

Role of Asphaltene in Stability of Water-in-oil Model Emulsions: The Effects of Oil Composition and Size of the Aggregates and Droplets
Download2021-03-16
Water-in-oil (W/O) emulsions are the most common type of emulsions handled in petroleum processes. It is thought that the field emulsions are primarily stabilized by asphaltene-resin micelles and several research works have studied the stability mechanisms of asphaltene in crude emulsions....
