1 | Catalytic and thermal effects in the upgrading of bitumen-derived heavy oils (Abstract only) | 1985 | Heavy oils derived from PR Spring bitumen were hydrotreated in the fixed bed reactor as a function of process variables. The presulfided commercial NiMo/y-alumina (HDN) catalyst, Mo supported on y-alumina (HDM) catalyst and sodium-impregnated HDN catalyst support were used in this study to investiga... | ||
2 | Catalytic upgrading of Asphalt Ridge bitumen over hydrodenitrogenation catalysts (Abstract only) | 1997 | The bitumen extracted from Asphalt Ridge oil sands was hydrotreated over three sulfided NiMo/y-Alumina hydrodenitrogenation catalysts in a fixed bed reactor to study the extent of upgrading as a function of process variables and catalyst. The process variables investigated were temperature (619-685 ... | ||
3 | Fluidization of coked sands and pyrolysis of oil sands in a fluidized bed reactor (Abstract only) | 1995-12 | fluidization of coked sands; pyrolysis of oil sands; fluidized bed reactor; coked sands; oil sands | A 7.62 cm diameter fluidized bed oil sands pyrolysis system was designed, installed, and operated. The studies conducted with this system included coked sands and oil sands feeding using a bin discharge auger feeder, the withdrawal of solids from a fluidized bed using a modified Lvalve, fluidization... | |
4 | Hydrotreating the Whiterocks oil sand bitumen and bitumen-derived liquid (Abstract only) | 1992-12 | hydrotreating; Whiterocks oil; oil sand; bitumen; bitumen-derived liquid; bitumen conversion; heteroatom reduction; heteroatom | Conversion of Utah's Uinta Basin bitumens to liquid fuels requires molecular weight reduction of the parent material as well as removal of heteroatoms. Heteroatom reduction of bitumen obtained through solvent extraction of Whiterocks oil sand was investigated. A comparison of the relative processabi... |
