Fall 2017
Advances in the development of unconventional resources have led to a surge in North American oil production. For example, tight oil production has pushed the U.S. crude supply to over 9% of world total production. Therefore, petrophysical characterization of such low-permeability rocks, has...

Stability and Mobility of Foam Generated by Gas-Solvent/Surfactant and Gas-Solvent/Nanoparticles under Reservoir Conditions
DownloadFall 2016
Foam can be a feasible means to remedy the low sweep efficiency of solvent flooding (e.g., CO2 and/or C3H8) resulting from viscous fingering and gravity segregation. It works as a good mobility control agent that decreases the mobility difference between the displaced oil and the displacing...

Extended shear tab connections are efficient for both fabrication and erection where a beam would otherwise need to be coped to clear the flanges of the supporting member, and are therefore used extensively in industry. Stability issues can arise as the plate becomes longer and more slender, as...

Managing fluid fine tailings (FFT) is a defining challenge of the oil sands industry in Alberta due to low solids content, and extremely slow self-weight consolidation. One technology to increase the solids content of these tailings is centrifugation to produce centrifuged fluid fine tailings...

Fall 2013
ABSTRACT This research is an experimental design and numerical analysis of a novel technique of the vacuum consolidation of Mature Fine Tailings (MFT). A meso-scale test was conducted to examine the feasibility of the MFT dewatering process. Vacuum consolidation involves applying a negative...

Stacked Deposits of Thickened and Filtered Fluid Fine Tailings Using Geotextile Tubes to Enhance Physical Stability of Reclaimed Landforms
DownloadFall 2023
Thickening tailings by adding synthetic polymer is a common practice in the mining industry. Flocculant alone in the flocculation of the oil sands' fluid fine tailings (FFT) has been used with the expectation that it would be beneficial to fine tailings particle agglomeration and dewatering....

Standardization and Testing of Embedded Plates for Design, Fabrication, and Construction Economy
DownloadSpring 2021
Embedded plates are commonly used to facilitate connecting structural steel members to reinforced concrete building elements such as walls and columns. Due to a lack of readily available industry-wide standard embedded plate designs, embedded plates are often custom designed for each project....

Start-up Analysis of a Partial Nitrification Aerobic Granular Sludge System Treating High-Strength Municipal Digestate Supernatant
DownloadFall 2023
Ammonia pollution is a growing environmental concern affecting wastewater treatment. With rising concerns about energy consumption and increasingly strict discharge regulations, mitigation of energy expenditure and maintenance of high pollutant removal efficiency have fueled advances in...
