Anaerobic Co-digestion of Municipal Sewage Sludge with Selected Commercial and Industrial Organic Wastes
DownloadFall 2014
The overall goal of this research was to investigate the anaerobic co-digestion of municipal sewage sludge with selected organic wastes in three main areas: (1) to determine the maximum feasible loading of co-substrate, (2) to calibrate the ADM1 model for co-digestion system at steady state, and...

The objective of this study was to determine if there was any difference in the bioremediation of oil sands process-affected water (OSPW) and to quantify and identify bacteria present in different scenarios. Two reactors were compared in this study: an acetic acid amended OSPW bioreactor, (AAAO...

Application of Principal Component Analysis for the Data Mining of High Resolution Mass Spectrometry Datasets
DownloadFall 2014
The release of oil sands process-affected water (OSPW) from tailings ponds is a major environmental issue that oil sands companies must consider over the next decade. Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) and biological treatment processes have been shown to be able to degrade contaminant compounds...

Discarded tires have been an environmental concern in different parts of the world. One mass application to avoid such environmental concern is to use them as embankment fill material in civil engineering projects. In such applications, discarded tires are usually used in a shred form referred as...

The extraction of bitumen from oil sands in Alberta, Canada, leads to the creation of tailings that are contained in lake-sized ponds under zero discharge policy. Stratification of tailings over time leads to the formation of mature fine tailings (MFT), an oil based emulsion containing residual...

With the trend of global urbanization, underground space is being more and more exploited. To fulfill the need of sustainable development of underground space, it is necessary to well document the as-built positions of the facilities we have built. In the current practice, the as-built models are...

Asphaltene Precipitation During Solvent Injection at Different Reservoir Conditions and Its Effects on Heavy-Oil Recovery from Oilsands
DownloadSpring 2014
Moreno Arciniegas, Laura Smith
Solvent injection at elevated temperatures (hot solvent or steam-solvent hybrid injection) into heavy-oil/bitumen reservoirs is a promising recovery process. It increases oil mobility via oil dilution, molecular diffusion, and gravity drainage. Meanwhile, injection of light hydrocarbon solvents...

BIM-based Motion Planning of Mobile Crane Operation in Modular-based Heavy Construction Sites
DownloadFall 2014
Modular-based construction is becoming increasingly a key role in oil sands development in Alberta, Canada. Modules are generally installed by large-capacity mobile cranes based on one of two lifting options: (1) pick from fixed positions, in which case the crane delivers the payloads from a...
