Performance Monitoring of Iterative Learning Control and Development of Generalized Predictive Control for Batch Processes
DownloadSpring 2012
Unlike continuous processes, a batch process has a certain period of operation time, and there are a number of batches in a typical operation. Hence variables in a batch process have dynamics in two dimensions, along time and across batches. Besides, batch processes involve large transient phases...

Asphaltenes, defined as a solubility class, are soluble in toluene and insoluble in paraffinic solvents such as š¶5 and š¶7. Asphaltenes have high heteroatom and a low H/C ratio compared to bitumenās other fractions. Moreover, they have a complex structure, high molecular weight, and high melting...

Petroleum Diesel-Assisted Ambient Temperature Aqueous-Nonaqueous Hybrid Bitumen Extraction Process
DownloadFall 2017
Solvents are used in the oil sands industry to reduce the viscosity of bitumen and hence to assist recovery of bitumen prior to its upgrading. Solvents can also be added to the ores to reduce energy consumption during the aqueous-nonaqueous hybrid bitumen extraction process at ambient conditions....

pH-Indicating Colorimetric Hydrogel for Wound Dressing and Medical Grade Silicone Adhesive for Skin Electronics: Towards Multifunctional Bionic Skin Patch
DownloadFall 2016
The physiological milieu of the normal skin is slightly acidic with a pH value ranged between 4 and 6; for chronic or infected wounds with a higher bacterial load, its pH value is above 7.3. Motivated by the fact that monitoring the pH value is an effective way to monitor the status of the wound,...

Phase Behavior and Thermophysical Properties of Athabasca Bitumen and Athabasca Bitumen + Toluene Mixtures in Near-critical Water
DownloadSpring 2014
The phase behavior and thermophysical properties of heavy hydrocarbons + water at elevated temperatures underpins development and implementation of coordinated production and refining processes, where for example, bitumen is produced by a SAGD method (steam assisted gravity drainage) and the...

Fall 2015
Oil sands bitumen is increasingly recovered by injecting steam into reservoirs using the energy intensive Steam assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) process. Interest in improving recovery and energy efficiencies have led to an interest in injecting light hydrocarbons along with or instead of steam...
