Measurement and Analysis of Changes in Drop Size Distribution during Bitumen Clarification using Image Analysis
DownloadFall 2013
The impact of mixing on demulsifier performance is studied using image analysis. Three experimental campaigns based on fractional factorial designs were performed in a CIST (Confined Impeller Stirred Tank), varying demulsifier bulk concentration (BC) and injection concentration (IC), mixing time...

Bitumen froth is an intermediate product of bitumen upgrading which must be treated to remove solids and water. De-mineralization and de-watering occur through a settling operation in which the addition of a diluent and a demulsifier are crucial to its success. This work explores the effect of...

With public concern over potential impacts to water environments that could result from a spill of diluted bitumen during transportation, a study is being conducted to determine the mixing characteristics of diluted bitumen and conventional crude in fresh and salt water. The conventional crude...
