The question is how do we transport that material to final areas where we\u2019re going to deposit it.?   So there was a bunch of questions around how is it going to handle in the back of a  truck box?  When we turn a corner, is it going to slop out of the sides?  So  we  did a number of tests where we had video cameras installed on the side of trucks, where we stopped the truck in short order to see how much would splash out, if any.    All those tests, turning corners, and this will allow the engineers in Calgary to apply the appropriate engineering to the truck boxes so that  the material won\u2019t slop out as we move around.  <\/em>\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThe trucks weigh 240 tonnes.  And some of the ideas being discussed are higher sides, baffles and massive tailgates. Jim Lorentz says the new centrifuge plant should be in full operation by 2014.\n<\/p>\n<p><em><br \/>\nThanks today to <b>Syncrude\n<\/p>\n<p>\nLearn more at InnovationAnthology.com  <\/em>\n<\/p>\n<p>\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>\u00a02010-12-09<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Treating your <b>oil sands tailings<\/b> in a giant spin dryer is not without its problems.
