    摘要: A system and method for separating bitumen and condensate extracted from separating bitumen from oil sands material is disclosed. The method includes passing the mixture of bitumen and condensate through a flash evaporator to separate them. In the flash evaporator the mixture is heated at high pressure after which it is sprayed into a tank where the pressure is much lower, allowing the condensate to vaporize and the bitumen to settle to the bottom of the tank. The vapors are then passed through a condenser unit, causing them to cool and liquefy.

    摘要: 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.
