Bitumen from the surface-mined oil sands is separated through a water-based gravity
separation process in the Primary Separation Vessels (PSV). The froth-middlings interface …

Maintaining the desired interface level between the top froth layer and the liquid layer plays
an important role in achieving high recovery of products in oil sands and related process …

The vertical position of the pulp-froth interface in a flotation cell is an important parameter in
froth flotation processes which needs to be controlled in situ. For this purpose, we introduce …

Image segmentation is one of the challenging task in the area of digital image processing.
Many methods are available for undergoing segmentation among which clustering …

Abstract A Primary Separation Vessel (PSV), used in the oil sands industry, is an important
process equipment, where Bitumen is separated from the oil sand using a density based …

In the oil sands extraction process, bitumen (crude oil) is separated from the sands in the
Primary Separation Vessel (PSV) through a water-based gravity separation process. The …
