Oil Sands

Discuss process-chemistry requirements around feed conditions, separation objectives, solids handling and recovered-water quality.

Scope

Approach
Defined around your application

Oil, water, and solids separating in process samples

Discuss process-chemistry requirements around feed conditions, separation objectives, solids handling and recovered-water quality.

Keep the inquiry tied to the process.

Oil-sands chemical requirements depend on the feed, the process stage and the separation or water-quality objective. Bring the operating issue and available feed and water information so the discussion can focus on a defined application.

Evaluate the chemistry before scaling up.

The current Matrix service catalog includes Oil Sands. Requirements for a particular site should be reviewed individually, including the proposed chemical function, laboratory work, manufacturing needs and delivery conditions. Avoid transferring a result from one feed or process directly to another.

Treatment priorities

Services for your application.

Define the scope around the application and the information needed for the next decision.

  • Feed and water context. Identify the source, solids profile and water conditions relevant to the operating issue.
  • Separation objectives. Describe the separation or clarification outcome to investigate and the measurements available.
  • Chemical-package review. Provide existing additives and their addition points for a complete application discussion.
  • Supply requirements. Discuss product format, expected consumption, storage and timing after the scope is defined.
From sample to operation

How we support your project.

  1. Describe the process

    Locate the issue within the actual treatment or separation sequence.

  2. Agree the evaluation

    Define samples, conditions and the comparison needed.

  3. Connect the scope

    Align formulation, manufacturing and supply requirements.
