This process includes crushing the tar sand and separating the bitumen by mixing the crushed ore with steam and hot water. The bitumen is concentrated by floating and is then treated with a solvent for final separation from the sand and water. The cleaned crude bitumen is upgraded in a delayed coking unit, which produces a blend of lighter ...

Ore preparation plants utilize large mechanical equipment including crushers, conveyors, mixers, and pumps. These assets convert bitumen ore to slurry for transport to the primary extraction plant. The process is extremely tough on equipment as the bitumen ore is very erosive and mechanical degradation is inevitable. Additionally, optimizing ...

In 2012, oil sands extraction contributed an estimated $91 billion to Canada's gross domestic product, and over 475,000 jobs (three per cent of the nation's total) may have benefited to some extent. Over half of Canada's oil production currently comes from the oil sands (about 1.8 million out of 3.2 million barrels per day).

Ore crushing and slurry preparation are performed in the ore preparation plant. Slurry is then transported to the froth production plant through slurry hydrotransport lines. The bitumen-rich froth is recovered in froth production plant. The balance of the oil sands slurry is processed in dewatering equipment.

OIL SANDS ORE: Oil sands deposits are a loose (or unconsolidated) sand deposit which contains bitumen (a heavy, complex hydrocarbon or petroleum), fine clays and small amount of water. The bitumen content of oil sands normally ranges from 8 to 12% but can be as high as 14%. This oil sands layer is hauled to the processing plant …

Mining. About 20% of Canada's oil sands is close enough to the surface to be mined. Suncor uses large trucks and shovels to extract the oil sands that are near the surface (approx. 130-200 ft deep). Hot water is used to separate the bitumen from the sand. This step is called extraction. Bitumen is heated and sent to drums where excess carbon ...

There are only 2 paths to extracting bitumen from the oil sands: by injecting steam deep underground and pumping the oil to surface (thermal in-situ), or; by mining the ore and physically separating the bitumen from the sand in a processing plant. Suncor Energy has been mining the oil sands since the late 1960s.
