Abstract: A method and apparatus for analyzing a bitumen-containing process stream and controlling a process. The method including directing a beam of infrared light at the bitumen-containing process stream, capturing light corresponding to the infrared light after interaction with the bitumen-containing process stream, and analyzing the captured light to obtain a spectrum. A composition estimate can be generated based on the spectrum and a calibrated model. A controller is operative to adjust a setpoint of the process in response to the composition estimate.

Abstract: An apparatus and a method for operating a process line for processing mined oil sand ore into a bitumen-containing slurry. The method may include: collecting, at least at one location, a plurality of measurements from one or more sensors; computing at a central controller a calculated value based on at least one of the plurality of measurements; and, applying an adjustment to an operating variable of a component of the process line to override a target set-point of a regulatory controller for that component based on the calculated value and a target value for the calculated value. The method and apparatus may receive measurement values in at least one step, and apply a correction to future measurement values in another step.
