The next level of research will be to test it at a much larger scale than in the laboratory.  So we will be doing a pilot program with this where we will be building dykes and putting coke into a storage area with drains so the water will flow through the coke and come out the bottom. And some of the things that we are going to be looking at is how big the dykes need to be to contain the coke as well as how many weeping tile type pipes have to be placed in the bottom with the coke bed to make sure the water flows out and can be drained and collected in an efficient manner.  The quality is very good. Most of the compounds that are in the water are removed.  And our objective is to produce a water quality that will support freshwater aquatic life. <\/em>\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThat was environmental engineer Warren Zubot.\n<\/p>\n<p><em><br \/>\nThanks today to <b>Syncrude Canada Ltd<\/em>\n<\/p>\n<p>\nFOR INNOVATION ANTHOLOGY<br \/>\nI\u2019M CHERYL CROUCHER <\/b>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Guest<\/h2>\n<h3> , <\/h3>\n<h4>, , , , <\/h4>\n<h2>Sponsor<\/h2>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/www.syncrude.com\">Syncrude<\/a><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/innovationanthology.com\/uploads\/SyncrudeLogo.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Program Date:<\/strong>\u00a02010-11-18<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When bitumen is processed, some of the by-products leftover include <b>napthenic acids <\/b>in the water and <b>coke, <\/b>which is essentially carbon or charcoal.
