Abstract:
A system for extracting bitumen from oil sands includes an extractor tank having a reaction chamber. An input port is provided at the upper end of the extractor tank for the purpose of introducing oil sand into the reaction chamber. A liquid extractant is heated and then pumped, under pressure, into the reaction chamber through a plurality of jet inlets to suspend the oil sand in the extractant, as a fluidized bed inside the reaction chamber. After reactions, an extract that contains both extractant (solvent) and bitumen, is separated from the sand. A vibratory centrifuge is connected to an outflow port of the extractor tank to receive the sand and remove any residual extractant from the sand. An evaporator and distillation column are provided to remove the extract from the reaction chamber and separate the extractant from the bitumen.
