Fall 2009
Albertan coal has been used to produce extracts as precursor for production of anode coke. Coal extractability was studied using digestion with Tetralin in a 500 ml reactor. Different operating conditions were tried and optimum conditions were chosen for runs with coal-derived solvents. Extracts...

Steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) has proved to be a technically and commercially successful methodology for recovering heavy-oil in Canada. At present, there are 22 commercial SAGD projects with over 300 pads and 2,700 well pairs, contributing to over 1.5 million bbl/day of production. The...

The Underground Coal Gasification (UCG) is still not in a worldwide operation despite inheriting an old idea which is nearly one and a half century old. Aside from effects by other fuel sources on development of the UCG and from a technical perspective, this delay is due to the complex nature of...

Rheology of Bitumen at the Onset of Asphaltene Aggregation and its Effects on the Stability of Water-in-Oil Emulsion
DownloadFall 2015
Asphaltenes are the heaviest fraction of bitumen. Asphaltenes not only play an important role in the high viscosity of bitumen but also in the water-in-oil (W/O) emulsion stability. Nevertheless, their exact function in the stability mechanism of W/O emulsion still remains unresolved. It is...

Solvent extraction of coal: Influence of solvent chemical structure on extraction yield and product composition
DownloadSpring 2012
In recent years the need for new carbon sources to supplement crude oil for the production of fuels and chemicals, again focused on coal as suitable candidate. Old and new technologies are being developed to convert coal in valuable products. An old technology such as solvent extraction of coal...

Underground coal gasification (UCG) is a process of ‘in-situ’ conversion of coal into gaseous products with usable heating value through combustion with oxygen/air and gasification with steam. From the economic and environmental point of view, UCG is a highly promising clean energy technology...
