APEGGA CENTRAL ALBERTA BRANCH PRESENTS:
“Petro-Canada / City of Edmonton Award-Winning
Membrane
Technology (Water Recycling) Project”
 This
project earned APEGGA's 2006 Summit "Project Achievement Award".
Petro-Canada and the City of Edmonton jointly have taken an innovative approach
to re-using water. Starting at the end of 2005, membrane-treated wastewater
from the City of Edmonton’s Gold Bar Wastewater Treatment Plant will be
used in the production of hydrogen and steam, which in turn will be used for
the production of low-sulphur diesel fuels, and to process alternate feedstocks,
such as bitumen and bitumen-derived crude, at Petro-Canada’s facility in
2008.
Additional benefits are snow-making at a local ski club and
an alternate source of water for watering trees and parks in local green spaces. The
project will reduce direct water withdrawal from the North Saskatchewan River,
as well as reduce the amount of conventionally treated wastewater entering the
river at the Gold Bar treatment plant. By 2006, the water line will deliver up
to 5000 m3 per day, and by 2008 it will deliver up to a total of 15,000 m3 per
day of treated water to the Petro-Canada refinery.
Frank Vagi P. Eng., Senior Process Advisor, at Oil Sands,
Petro-Canada, Edmonton Refinery will describe this project which includes the
construction of a 5.5 kilometre waterline to transport the treated wastewater.
