Spring 2016
Thickened tailings technology is implemented in some oil sands operations in order to recycle warm process water, thereby reducing net water draw, and to reduce the size of tailings impoundment areas. The rheology of thickened tailings is complex and time-dependent, and the underlying mechanism...

Spring 2019
In oil sands extraction, the removal of heavy materials from a bitumen feed is often facilitated by solvent addition treatment processes. These processes mix solvent with bitumen feed to cause the precipitation of heavy products. The settling properties of these heavy products as they separate...

Experimental Investigation on the Turbulence of Particle-Laden Liquid Flows in a Vertical Pipe Loop
DownloadSpring 2016
The turbulent motion of particles and their interactions with the turbulence of the carrier phase make a complex system. Hence understanding the physics and consequently developing a well-stablished model becomes very difficult. With insufficient computational power to numerically resolve all the...
