Better Bitumen Recovery
In oil sands, an incremental improvement in bitumen recovery can have dramatic
financial benefits. One area of loss occurs in bitumen extraction. Improved
recovery occurs by maximizing the fraction of bitumen that is sent to upgrading
and conversely minimizing the fraction that escapes to the tailings ponds.
Matrikon’s level control solution delivers on this count by more accurately
measuring level and applying superior process control to the problem.
