Description
This project addressed water management challenges in the oil sands open pit mining process through the application of innovative water treatment technologies. New technologies such as ceramic ultra-filtration, nano-flotation system along with commercial desalinations techniques were demonstrated to provide real operating data for basal and tailings water treatments. This report discusses details of recently completed pilots with new technology flow sheets which were designed for a full-scale commercial oil sands mine water treatment plant. The project is a participant in the Innovative Energy Technology Program.

Usage Considerations
The Innovative Energy Technology Program (IETP) was announced in June 2004 to support innovative technology development that would further the production of Alberta conventional oil, oil sands and gas resources leading to additional recoverable reserves and royalties while improving environmental performance over current processes. Under the terms of the program, successful applicants must submit: annual and final technical reports; and annual and final intellectual property reports on any new technology developed through an IETP project. All annual and final reports are confidential for two years from the due date (June 30th of each calendar year). The Government of Alberta does not endorse, authorize, certify, maintain or control the content of the reports. The Government of Alberta is not liable for any direct, indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages arising out of the use of this information.
