Hydrotransport entails emulsification of oilsands with water which would facilitate both the transportation of oilsands to the plant and the extraction of bitumen. The process has been successfully tested by Syncrude in a pilot project, and appears to be an improvement over current surface mining and extraction processes. Preliminary research suggests that this new technology may enhance economic viability of new surface-mining schemes, and allow extension of existing operations well beyond the present 5-kilometre radius. 2, record 2, English, - hydrotransport

[...] la technologie de l'hydrotransport [...] est beaucoup plus économique et souple que l'ancien système à longues bandes transporteuses. Cette technologie fait appel, en tête de procédé, à une importante innovation, soit un alimenteur à cyclone. Cet appareil [...] broie le sable bitumineux et le mélange à l'eau chaude pour constituer une suspension aqueuse, ou boue, pompée à grande vitesse dans un pipeline menant à l'installation de séparation du bitume [...] 1, record 2, French, - hydrotransport

Dr. Karl Clark, a scientist working for the Alberta Research Council, developed and patented the hot water extraction technique... Oil sand is mixed with hot water creating a slurry. Early methods used large tumbler drums to condition the slurry. Today, hydrotransport pipelines are used to condition and transport the oil sand from the mine to the extraction plant. The slurry is fed into a separation vessel where it separates into three layers-sand, water and bitumen. The bitumen is then skimmed off the top to be cleaned and processed further. Secondary recoveries are made with the middlings zone of the separation vessels to return the smaller quantities of bitumen that would otherwise flow to the settling ponds. Ph levels and temperature are key variables in the process. 2, record 3, English, - hot%20water%20extraction%20process

La plupart des matières minérales sont recouvertes d'une mince pellicule d'eau, ce qui rend possible l'extraction par le procédé à l'eau chaude. Les sables bitumineux sont placés dans d'énormes tambours rotatifs et mélangés avec de l'eau chaude et de la vapeur. Les particules de bitume se séparent des grains de sable et s'accrochent à de minuscules bulles d'air. La boue ainsi préparée est tamisée, puis déposée dans de gros contenants coniques de séparation dans lesquels le bitume aéré est récolté sous forme de mousse [...]. Le gros sable se dépose au fond pour être ensuite pompé vers une décharge. Quelques très petites particules de bitume et de minéraux, appelées mixtes, demeurent dans une couche d'eau intermédiaire qui est retirée et pompée vers des cellules de flottation secondaires. 2, record 3, French, - proc%C3%A9d%C3%A9%20d%27extraction%20%C3%A0%20l%27eau%20chaude
