Title: Method of dewatering of a tailings stream
Inventor: JUNAID ABU SALEH MUHAMMAD
IPC: C02F11/147
Filed: 2016-07-28
Abstract: A method for dewatering oil sands tailings streams, in-line and in real time, measures in-line one or more of solids concentration, clay content and flow rate of a tailings stream and a concentration of flocculant of a flocculant-containing stream. After combining an amount of the flocculant-containing stream with the tailings stream, the resulting flocculant-enriched tailings stream is subjected to shear, based initially upon the measurements taken, and is mixed in a dynamic shear device to obtain flocculated tailings. Images or chord lengths of the flocculated tailings are obtained continuously inline in real time prior to a separation step. Signals indicative of a flocculation state of the flocculated tailings are derived in-line in real time using the images, the chord-lengths, or both, for automatically controlling, in real time, the shear applied for controlling dewaterability and yield strength of the flocculated tailings.
