Distillation extractive. Elle est utilisée dans le cas d'un mélange binaire à faible volatilité relative ou bien formant un homoazéotrope, donc difficile à séparer; on peut trouver un tiers corps (généralement lourd) qui forme avec l'un des constituants un binaire plus ou moins idéal et avec l'autre un binaire très éloigné de l'idéalité et de préférence un hétéroazéotrope. La présence de ce tiers corps a pour effet d'augmenter la volatilité relative des constituants du binaire initiale. On l'alimente en haut d'une colonne de distillation de façon que son action sur la courbe d'équilibre du binaire se fasse en tout point. Le tiers corps qu'on appelle ici solvant entraîne vers le pied de colonne sélectivement le constituant avec lequel il s'approche de l'idéalité tandis que l'autre sort en tête. Il ne reste plus qu'à séparer du produit entraîné le solvant qui est recyclé. 2, record 1, French, - extraction%20d%27eau%20lourde

Technology Canada partnerships investment promotes sustainable development in deep oil sands extraction.... The project involves developing a water recycling technology that will remove environmental and economic barriers to heavy oil production using the steam-assisted gravity drainage(SAGD) system. With SAGD, steam injected into the formation from a horizontal well decreases the viscosity of the heavy oil and allows it to flow to a second parallel well where it is piped to the surface. This process uses the equivalent of three barrels of steam to produce one barrel of heavy oil. 5, record 3, English, - steam%2Dassisted%20gravity%20drainage

Dans le domaine de la production améliorée des bruts lourds, on peut distinguer 5 méthodes : - injection de vapeur : cette méthode est la plus couramment employée dans le domaine de la récupération améliorée. Deux principales stratégies peuvent être adoptées : 1) celle de la stimulation par injection cyclique («Huff and Puff»), qui consiste à injecter la vapeur de façon discontinue (cyclique) et de récupérer l'huile au même endroit. Cette technique a l'avantage de produire rapidement de l'huile, donc d'augmenter la productivité, cependant elle ne permet pas un taux de récupération élevé des huiles en place; 2) celle de l'entraînement à la vapeur («Steam Drive»), qui consiste à injecter la vapeur sur une longue période à partir d'un puits spécifiquement dédié à cette fonction et de récupérer l'huile dans d'autres puits situés aux environs. Cette technique, à l'inverse de celle à injection cyclique, permet d'atteindre de façon progressive un taux de récupération élevé. Parmi ces technologies, on pourra distinguer celle de l'entraînement à la vapeur par zone annulaire chauffée («Heated Annulus Steam Drive») et celle de drainage gravitaire renforcé par la vapeur («Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage»). La deuxième (SAGD) commence à faire ses preuves aujourd'hui. Elle permet, par l'utilisation de puits horizontaux multidrains, d'améliorer considérablement la productivité et le taux de récupération des huiles en place, tout en minimisant l'utilisation de vapeur. 4, record 3, French, - drainage%20par%20gravit%C3%A9%20au%20moyen%20de%20vapeur

Toe To Heel Water Flooding : An Effective Short Distance Oil Displacement Process for Light Heavy Oil Reservoirs.... Wascana Energy Inc. and Alberta Research Council invite you to attend an information session to describe the Toe-To-Heel Waterflooding(TTHW) process.... Background With the advent of horizontal wells in Improved Oil Recovery of heavy oils, a change is taking place in the approach to improved recovery of oil. Currently, there is a move from displacing oil in a flood pattern from injector to producers over long distances(of the order of hundreds of meters) to short-distance oil displacement(SDOD) processes(typically over a few meters). Due to the high viscosity of heavy oil, the displacement to producers located long distance away tends to make waterflooding inappropriate. Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage, Vapor Extraction and Toe-To-Heel Displacement Processes(TTHDP) belong to the SDOD processes. TTHDP can be applied as a non-thermal recovery technology, such as Toe-To-Heel Waterflooding or as a thermal technology such as Toe-To-Heel Steamflooding and Toe-To-Heel Air Injection. More than 17 laboratory tests of Toe-To-Heel Waterflooding(TTHW) showed that this process will provide good results for lighter heavy oil reservoirs(with viscosity less than 1200 mPas). Hele Shaw model tests indicated ultimate recovery factors substantially higher for the TTHW, when compared to conventional waterflooding using vertical wells. 2, record 6, English, - toe%2Dto%2Dheel%20combustion

Le procédé qui est connu est le «toe-to-heel air injection» ou THAI. Le principe de ce procédé, d'après ses inventeurs, est le suivant : Il s'agit de forer un puits vertical dont la section dans le réservoir imprégné d'huile lourde est proche de l'extrémité («toe») d'un puits horizontal. De l'air est injecté dans le puits vertical équipé d'un système d'allumage qui provoque une combustion de l'oxygène contenu dans l'air injecté au contact de l'huile. Un front de combustion se propage alors perpendiculairement au puits horizontal, donc vers l'autre extrémité de ce puits («heel»), d'où la dénomination «toe-to-heel». D'après les inventeurs du procédé, l'huile réchauffée au niveau du front de combustion s'écoule vers le bas en direction du puits horizontal sous l'action de la gravité et est récupérée vers la surface. Une interrogation subsiste concernant la percée probable de l'air injecté dans ce puits horizontal qui aurait pour résultat de provoquer un arrêt du front de combustion. Seul un essai pilote sur champ permettrait de valider ce procédé.

Atomic Energy of Canada Limited.... An incinerator and a baler for solid wastes with relatively low levels of contamination have been operating routinely in the Waste Treatment Center(WTC) since 1982. Ultrafiltration and reverse-osmosis systems for concentrating liquid wastes and bituminization systems for the concentrates are also situated in the WTC, and are now undergoing commissioning. A tritium extraction plant is under construction which will remove and stabilize the majority of the tritium from the heavy water used in the reactors.... 1, record 7, English, - waste%20treatment%20center
