A Two Level Fractional Factorial Design to Test the Effect of Oil Sands Composition and Process Water Chemistry on Bitumen Recovery from Model Systems

Abstract: To overcome the compositional variability inherent to natural oil sands we use extraction tests with model oil sands (MOS) systems in a systematic, experimental design study. Eight significant variables from screening tests in earlier work are tested here. Namely, concentrations of bitumen, silica fines, sodium kaolinite, illite and montmorillonite. In addition, we tested different concentrations of Ca2+, Mg2+, and Na+ in the synthetic process water used with bitumen separation tests. A two level, fractional f… Show more

“…This objective is the foundation of experimental design. While the study of the design of experiments was originally focused on agricultural experiments, experimental design has been used in a multitude of industries and applications, including the optimization of fluid catalytic cracking, synthesis of a jojoba oil analogue, and bitumen recovery from oil sands . Experimental designs are often variations on factorial designs, where multiple levels of each input variable (or factor) are tested and experimental runs are performed for each combination of different factor levels.…”
