Course Overview | SAGD Oil Sands Online: Bitumen Processing Course (27 Learning Modules)

The purpose of the SAGD Bitumen Processing section is to produce clean bitumen mixed with diluent. The liquid bitumen is cleaned by progressively removing water, solids and gas vapours. The correct Sales Oil density is achieved by mixing diluent into the bitumen stream at each stage of produced water removal.

SAGD Oil Sands Online: Bitumen Processing uses animation to take you inside vessels and equipment to see each process and flow stream, making the training valuable to all tradespersons, supervisors, and managers interested in SAGD Bitumen Processing operations.

Safety features, warnings, and typical PSV locations are included so you can appreciate process hazards and how they are handled.

Universally accessible with an internet connection,
SAGD Oil Sands Online: Bitumen Processing
is presented in a sleek, mobile-responsive platform so students can learn anywhere, anytime.

User Testimonials

“The animations provided actually helped me visualize things that I wasn’t totally sure of before even with my experience. For a new operator coming into the industry (process) it is exactly what they need to become competent operators.”
