During the upgrading process the bitumen is converted from a viscous, tar-like oil that is deficient in hydrogen and high in sulphur and heavy metals, to a high quality "synthetic" or "upgraded" crude oil that has density and viscosity characteristics similar to conventional light sweet crude oil, but with a very low sulphur content(0. 1-0. 2 percent). This upgrading is achieved through a process of coking, desulphurization and hydrogen addition. 2, record 13, English, - upgrading%20process
