Abstract

Lab scale simulated steam assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) process devices were used to investigate the effect of inorganic additives for the bitumen recovery from oil sand. An extra heavy oil similar with bitumen and 1.5 mm diameter of the glass bead instead of clay was mixed to simulate the oil sand. In addition, $FeO_X$ synthesized from the inorganic process was introduced as an inorganic additive for improving the recovery. Finally, the steam heat transfer rate of approximately 40% following the introduction of inorganic additives which also increased the recovery rate by about 30%.

박층의 오일샌드에서 비투멘 성분 회수를 위한 steam assisted gravity drainage 공정에서 무기첨가제 도입에 따른 오일 회수율 특성을 평가하고자 실험실 규모의 모사장치를 이용하여 모사된 오일샌드에서 오일성분을 회수하는 실험을 수행하였다. 오일샌드 모사를 위해 비투멘과 성질이 유사한 초중질유와 직경 1.5 mm의 글래스비드를 사용하였다. 무기합성법을 통해 $FeO_X$를 제조하여 무기첨가제로 도입하였다. 그 결과 시간에 따른 스팀의 열전달 속도는 무기첨가제 도입에 따라 약 40% 증가하였으며, 회수율 또한 약 30% 증가하였다.
