Development, Modelling and Control of a Continuous Pilot Scale Supercritical Fluid Extraction Process
DownloadSpring 2017
In this thesis, the feasibility and operation of a continuous pilot scale supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) process for treatment of oil-contaminated solids, specifically drill cuttings, was investigated. For this purpose, a continuous pilot scale SFE process, the first of its kind, was...

Initial solubilities for whole bitumen and bitumen cuts of light gas oil (LGO), heavy gas oil (HGO), and vacuum residue (resid) were measured in supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2) and SC-CO2 modified with 5 or 15 mol% toluene. The initial solubility measurements were performed on a bench-scale...
