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 2, English, - upgrading%20process
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 OBS

La valorisation consiste à transformer le bitume brut, matière très visqueuse pauvre en hydrogène et riche en soufre et en métaux lourds, en pétrole dit «synthétique» ou «valorisé» de qualité élevée, d’une densité et d’une viscosité semblables à celles du pétrole brut léger, et à très faible teneur en soufre(0, 1-0, 2%). Le procédé de valorisation comporte trois principales opérations : la cokéfaction, la désulfuration et l'hydrogénation. 1, record 2, French, - proc%C3%A9d%C3%A9%20de%20valorisation
