Purpose
Fluctuating oil prices and recent Federal and Provincial efforts to address climate change and protect water resources are motivating the oil sands industry to develop and deploy technologies that can reduce the operating cost per barrel of product and reduce the amount of energy and fresh water consumed during resource extraction. A significant amount of research and development is currently underway in the Canadian oil sands industry to improve water treatment processes in the steam assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) process. In the SAGD process, steam is injected underground to decrease the viscosity of the bitumen and effect its extraction. An emulsion of steam condensate and heated bitumen is then pumped to the surface where the bitumen and water are separated, and the water is treated for reuse as boiler feed water._x000D_
