Abstract:
A system and method for separating bitumen from oil sands material is disclosed. The method may include mixing the oil sands material with a solvent in a mix tank then passing it through a centrifuge. The method may also include drying the clean oil sands material and recovering the vapors through a condenser unit. The system may further include passing the mixture of bitumen and solvent through a flash evaporator to produce pure bitumen or leaving it mixed with the higher API hydrocarbon condensate for the production of crude oil.
