We place it in a basically a pit and we decant the water off it as the water is expressed to the surface.<br \/>\nThis decanting process allows water that\u2019s expressed to the surface to be collected in a perimeter like ditch where then its drained off.  You\u2019ve got to take these clay materials out of the tailings pond so you can let natural environmental conditions like the sun and underdrainage dry the materials. <\/em>\n<\/p>\n<p>\nJim Lorentz says accelerated dewatering is a slower process than some of the others the company is investigating.  But it allows natural gravity and natural conditions to do the work.  And the energy input is minimal.\n<\/p>\n<p><em><br \/>\nThanks today to <b>Syncrude<\/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>\u00a02011-01-04<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><b>Syncrude Canada Ltd.<\/b> is focusing a lot of its research on new ways to <b>reclaim water<\/b> used in the processing of bitumen.
