At the froth treatment plant the bitumen is diluted with naphta, to make it flow easily and then goes through a combination of Inclined Plate Settlers (IPS), and Centrifuges. Inclined plate settlers allow for particles to settle efficiently under gravity, in a relatively small vessel by increasing settling area with inclined plates. 2, record 1, English, - inclined%20plate%20settler

CNRL [Canadian Natural Resources Limited] a choisi un procédé à base de solvant de naphta pour la production du bitume issu de la mousse. Elle a indiqué qu'elle effectuait actuellement d'autres évaluations des décanteurs à plaques inclinées, des séparateurs centrifuges, des hydrocyclones et d'autre équipement de traitement de rechange. 2, record 1, French, - d%C3%A9canteur%20%C3%A0%20plaques%20inclin%C3%A9es

Le procédé à contre-courant permet la séparation de l'eau des matières en suspension. Les matières en suspension décantables se déposent sur des plaques inclinées à soixante degrés et chutent par gravité. Chaque décanteur comprend 600 plaques inclinées espacées de 75 mm et chaque plaque offre une surface de 1,3m2 [...]. Ce procédé réduit la surface au sol de cinq à dix fois en comparaison d'un décanteur classique. 3, record 1, French, - d%C3%A9canteur%20%C3%A0%20plaques%20inclin%C3%A9es

The intercepting sedimentation tank is based on contact flocculation and intercepting precipitation with special structure. The treatment efficiency of low-temperature and low-turbidity water by intercepting sedimentation tank was studied and compared with that of horizontal-flow settling tank and the inclined plate settler. The results showed that the treatment efficiency of intercepting sedimentation tank with excellent capacity of intercepting flocculation and adaptability to water quality variation was obviously higher than that of horizontal-flow settling tank and approximated to that of inclined plate settler. This kind of sedimentation tank is of great potential for development and application. 1, record 2, English, - horizontal%2Dflow%20settling%20tank

Décanteurs à flux horizontaux. Dans ces bassins, la condition pour qu'une particule soit retenue est qu'elle ait le temps d'atteindre le fond avant le débordement ou la sortie de l'ouvrage. Un décanteur horizontal est caractérisé par : le débit traversier Q, sa surface S, sa hauteur entre le plan d'eau libre et le radier h. 4, record 2, French, - d%C3%A9canteur%20horizontal
