Fall 2010
The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of solvent addition to bitumen froth on the wettability of froth solids. The wettability of solids determines the transportation/partitioning of the solids between phases, which in turn affects the solids and water rejection in a Clark hot...

Investigating Light Solvent Aided Process in Cold Lake Oil-Sand Reservoir Using Experimental and Numerical Approaches
DownloadSpring 2019
Steam assisted- gravity drainage (SAGD) is the main in-situ bitumen recovery process in which saturated steam is injected into the bitumen zone. However, it has some drawbacks, which include high-energy consumption and significant environmental concerns. Solvent Aided Process (SAP) is a method...

Probing surface properties at the nanoscale: effects of physicochemical heterogeneity on membrane wettability
DownloadFall 2020
Water purification by polymeric membranes has been abundantly applied to address global challenges of water scarcity and pollution of aquatic environments. Polymeric membranes are excellent candidates for low cost and energy-efficient high-quality water purification process. However, progress in...

During separation of emulsified water from oil, a viscous intermediate layer builds up between water and oil phases. This layer which is referred to as rag layer disrupts emulsion destabilization and water removal. The present research is intended to better understand the formation of a rag layer...
