METHOD FOR SHIPPING OIL-SAND BITUMEN WITHOUT ADDING HAZARDOUS VOLATILE THINNERS

摘要

This unique innovative concept encompasses the specialpackage or container equipment required for shipping Bitumenwithout having added hazardous diluents to thin the Bitumento create a state of fluidity allowing it to be pumped.In order to extract the Bitumen of the deep oil-sandsformations it must be heated, once it cools it cannot bepumped and as a consequence it must be thinned withhazardous substances. These hazardous substances createmany difficulties for transporting Bitumen particularly for railshipments...My process does not use hazardous volatile diluents and allowsthe Bitumen to congeal after the warm Bitumen has beenpumped into special capsules which facilitate the rehabilitatingit to a fluid state months later at distant refineries around theWorld.
