The Use of TaBoRR as a Heavy Oil Upgrader

Description: Preliminary testing has shown that Western Research Institute's (WRI) Tank Bottom Recovery and Remediation (TaBoRR{reg_sign}) technology shows promise for heavy oil upgrading. Approximately 70 to 75 wt% of a Canadian Cold Lake bitumen feed was converted to a partially upgraded overhead product that could be transported directly by pipeline or blended with the parent bitumen to produce transportable crude. TaBoRR{reg_sign} was originally developed to remediate tank bottom wastes by producing a d… more

Development of the Write Process for Pipeline-Ready Heavy Oil

Description: Work completed under this program advances the goal of demonstrating Western Research Institute's (WRI's) WRITE{trademark} process for upgrading heavy oil at field scale. MEG Energy Corporation (MEG) located in Calgary, Alberta, Canada supported efforts at WRI to develop the WRITE{trademark} process as an oil sands, field-upgrading technology through this Task 51 Jointly Sponsored Research project. The project consisted of 6 tasks: (1) optimization of the distillate recovery unit (DRU), (2) dem… more

FIELD TESTING OF THE TABORR (TANK BOTTOM RECOVERY AND REMEDIATION) PROCESS USING THE ASPHALT AND DRY BOTTOMS CONFIGURATIONS

Description: The TaBoRR{reg_sign} (Tank Bottom Recovery and Remediation) process being developed at Western Research Institute (WRI) offers an alternative to current disposal methods. The TaBoRR process is designed to: (1) process these wastes, (2) provide a cost saving, and (3) limit or reduce the environmental liability of the producers. This process removes the water through evaporation, eliminating water disposal costs, creates a salable crude oil that has been valued at or above the current market pric… more
