Techno-economic assessment of solvent-based bitumen extraction technologies including in-situ electromagnetic heating
DownloadFall 2021
The oil sands are a vast fossil fuel resource that supports the worldwide energy supply. The bitumen found in fossil deposits is too viscous to flow under reservoir conditions. For this reason, steam-based processes such as steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) are used to increase the reservoir...

The Potential of Lasers as Deterrents to Protect Birds in the Alberta Oil Sands and Other Areas of Human-Bird Conflict
DownloadFall 2015
Human population growth, urbanization, and industrialization are rapidly increasing the potential for human-wildlife conflict throughout the world. Such conflict is often mitigated by attempting to deter wildlife from the affected areas, but wildlife frequently habituate to deterrent devices,...

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of Oil Sands-Derived Transportation Fuels Produced from the Vapor Solvent-Based Extraction Process
DownloadFall 2017
Soiket, Mohammad Ikthair Hossain
Oil sand is a mixture of sand, clay, water, bitumen and other minerals. Production of transportation fuels like gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, etc. from the oil sands reserved in deep underground reservoirs require external stimulant to lower the viscosity of bitumen. The established thermal...

Treatment of Antiviral Drugs in Wastewater Using Advanced Oxidation Processes - Ozonation of Oseltamivir Phosphate
DownloadFall 2021
While wastewater treatment facilities are designed to remove contaminants from water before it returns to the environment, unfortunately, not all of these facilities are effective in the removal of micropollutants (MPs). Antiviral drugs are a class of MPs that have become an area of concern due...

This research aims to improve oil sands tailings treatment by applying a combination of quick lime (calcium oxide) and anionic or cationic polymers in the flocculation process. A procedure including mixing lime, dilution of mature fine tailings (MFT) in the lime supernatant and addition of...

Fall 2016
Non-aqueous solvent extraction of bitumen from oil sands has the potential to replace the existing hot-water extraction process. The benefit of non-aqueous extraction process includes high bitumen recovery, reduction of fresh water demand for extraction and the elimination of resulting tailing...

Spring 2016
Canada has the world’s largest oilsands reserves. Part of the reserves is being considered as marginal and is not profitable to recover using current technology. Autoxidation (oxidation with air) is a potential upgrading strategy to produce more valuable products from the oilsands derived bitumen...

Spring 2013
The mining of oil sands ore and extraction of bitumen produces aqueous slurries containing bitumen, coarse sand and fine clays. The performance of key process units is highly dependent on the rheology of “carrier fluid”, which is comprised of the fine solids and water. Although viscosity is...

Turbidity Mitigation in an Oil Sands End Pit Lake through pH Reduction and Fresh Water Addition
DownloadFall 2016
The remediation of oil sands wastes such as fluid fine tailings (FFT) and oil sands process-affected water (OSPW) are of increasing concern in the oil sands industry. End pit lakes are one remediation option currently being researched at commercial scale in Base Mine Lake (BML) operated by...
