Application of Anoxic-Aerobic Membrane Bioreactors (MBRs) for Oil Sands Process-Affected Water (OSPW) Treatment
DownloadFall 2016
The enormous volumes of oil sands process-affected water (OSPW) produced during oil sands bitumen extraction have been a public concern due to the toxicity and persistence of the organic contaminants contained in the water. Among all the contaminants in OSPW, naphthenic acids (NAs) are regarded...

Application of Advanced Oxidation Processes for Treatment of Naphthenic Acids in Oil Sands Process Water
DownloadFall 2013
The large volume of oil sands process-affected water (OSPW) produced by the oil sands industries in Northern Alberta, Canada, is an environmental concern. The toxicity of OSPW has been attributed to a complex mixture of naturally occurring acids, including naphthenic acids (NAs). NAs are a broad...

Fall 2024
The coupled three-dimensional hydrodynamic and water quality ELCOM-CAEDYM model was used to investigate the factors impacting the abundance of algae as a key indicator of water quality in a stormwater pond in the city of Edmonton, Canada. Field measurements collected from May to October of 2014...

Analyzing the Impacts of Discretization and Meshing in Numerical Simulation of Unconventional Reservoirs
DownloadFall 2021
The discrete fracture network (DFN) model is widely used to simulate and represent the complex fractures occurring over multiple length scales. However, computational constraints often necessitate that these DFN models be upscaled into a dual-porosity dual-permeability (DPDK) model and...

Analyzing Scaling Characteristics of Transport Properties Using Particle-Tracking Based Techniques
DownloadFall 2017
Appropriate scale-up provides a critical link between fine-scale heterogeneity descriptions and coarse-scale models used for transport modeling, which is essential for planning and management of subsurface reservoirs. A significant challenge in subsurface flow and transport modeling is to develop...

Analyzing Network Connectivity by Cyclist Comfort: An Empirical Reappraisal of the Four Types of Cyclists Typology and Level of Traffic Stress Framework
DownloadFall 2019
North America is seeing a resurgence of interest in cycling both for recreation and as a transportation mode. Cycling is touted as a means to reduce traffic congestion and its GHG emissions and pollution, increase livability, and provide a remedy to inactivity and its related health problems....

Analytical Solution for SAGD with Consideration of Temperature Variation along the Edge of a Steam Chamber
DownloadSpring 2017
Steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) is a widely-used method for heavy-oil and bitumen recovery. Analytical models were presented in the literature for bitumen-production rate and steam-to-oil ratio (SOR) for SAGD. They often overestimate bitumen-production rate substantially. Various...
