Subject field(s)
  • Petroleum Technology - Equipment
CONT

The bitumen extraction processes initially used by GCOS [Great Canadian Oil Sands] and Syncrude were based on the Hot Water Extraction Method ... Oil sands ore is moved from the base mine dump pocket by conveyor and enters large rotating tumblers where the ore is slurried ... to condition it for bitumen separation. The aerated slurry from the tumblers discharges into vibrating screens where large materials ... are rejected. The slurry is diluted in pump boxes and pumped to the Primary Separation Vessels (PSV), where bitumen rises to the surface as a froth and is skimmed off, while the sand settles to the bottom.

OBS

primary separation vessel: term usually used in the plural.

  • Appareillage (Technologie pétrolière)
CONT

Les premiers procédés de séparation du bitume mis en œuvre par la GCOS [Great Canadian Oil Sands] et Syncrude étaient dérivés du procédé d'extraction à l'eau chaude [...] Le sable imprégné de bitume est repris de la trémie de réception et transporté par des bandes transporteuses à des tambours rotatifs, où il est fluidifié [...] Au sortir des tambours, le mélange aéré tombe sur des tamis vibrants qui éliminent la roche et les amas d'argile. Il est ensuite dilué et acheminé par des pompes vers les séparateurs primaires, où le bitume remonte à la surface sous forme d'écume et le sable se dépose au fond.

OBS

séparateur primaire : terme habituellement utilisé au pluriel.

Subject field(s)
  • Radar, Radio Guidance and Goniometry
  • Target Acquisition
CONT

Overwater radar detection and tracking performance was excellent as expected. Pseudo-synthetic video (PSV) and real-time synthetic video (RTSV) were available consistently for targets at near to medium ranges and only slightly less for targets at longer ranges.

CONT

As an alternative to manual ground truthing, we propose using pseudo-synthetic video to evaluate tracking performance ... The novelty of our framework is that we automatically compile a set of isolated ground truth tracks for the surveillance database. We then use the ground truth tracks to construct a comprehensive set of pseudo-synthetic video sequences that are used to evaluate the performance of a tracking algorithm.
