The Athabasca deposits have been known since the early 1800s. The first scientific iaterest ia tar sands was taken by the Canadian government ia 1890, and ia 1897—1898, the sands were first drilled at PeHcan Rapids on the Athabasca River. Up until 1960, many small-scale commercial enterprises were attempted but not sustained. Between 1957 and 1967, three extensive pilot-plant operations were conducted ia the Athabasca region, each leading to a proposal for a commercial venture, eg, Suncor and Syncmde. 

Froth from the hot-water process may be mixed with a hydrocarbon diluent, eg, coker naphtha, and centrifuged. The Suncor process employs a two-stage centrifuging operation, and each stage consists of multiple centrifuges of conventional design installed in parallel. The bitumen product contains 1—2 wt % mineral (dry bitumen basis) and 5—15 wt % water (wet diluted basis). Syncmde also utilizes a centrifuge system with naphtha diluent.

Materials. Samples of dewatered crude oils were obtained from the Athabasca oil sands of the McMurray formation by extraction using the commercial hot water process (Suncor Inc.) the Bl uesky-Bu11 head formation at Peace River, Alberta by solvent extraction of produced fluids the Clearwater formation at Cold Lake, Alberta by solvent extraction of core material and the Karamay formation in Xing-Jiang, China. A summary of the physical and chemical properties of the crude oils, including chemical composition, and density-temperature and viscosity-temperature relationships, is given in Table I. 

Hot-Water A process for separating bitumen from tar sands. Developed by SUNCOR for treating the sands from Athabasca, Alberta, based on an invention made by K. A. Clarke in 1932. Two large plants were operating in Canada in 1984. 

Canadian oil sand processing plants have been developed by Syncrude and Suncor for extraction and upgrading of tar sand bitumen into fuel. Aboveground surface mining and in-situ methods have been developed to recover raw material. Bitumen recovery from surface mined oil sand requires conditioning in order to free the bitumen from the sand matrix.

It is interesting to note the reduction in permissible and planned SO2 emissions of the two commercial ventures, Suncor, Inc. and Syncrude Canada Limited and the proposed Alsands Project. These data are presented in Figure 5 as well as the target SO2 emission level proposed by Alberta Environment. Data are in Long Tons SO2/IOOO barrels of synthetic crude product. The proposed Alsands rate is approaching the target level of Alberta Environment but implementation of new technology will be required to meet these objectives in the future.

Two surface extraction, full-scale commercial facilities are presently in operation to produce synthetic crude oil from the Alberta deposits. One, the Suncor, Ltd., facility was built in the late 1960s and, in 1991, was producing synthetic crude at a rate of about 58,000 bbl/day. The second and larger one, built in the mid to late 1970s, is the facility of Syncrude Canada, Ltd. In 1991 it was producing synthetic crude at a rate of about 156,000 bbl/day.
