SAIT is proposing to collaborate with Cenovus Energy Inc. on a research project to improve a metal oxide nanoparticle coating membrane technology for water-oil separation for steam assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) oil production operations. Cenovus previously initiated and cooperated with Texas A&M University (TAMU) to investigate the membrane technology which utilizes differential surface wettability as a separation mechanism for water and oil. In the proposed project, SAIT will provide research expertise and resources to develop new membrane prototypes based on the TAMU-Cenovus technology. SAIT will also implement experiments aligned with the high temperature and high pressure SAGD conditions to conduct process testing of the membrane prototypes in order to assess the water-oil separation performance of the new membranes. If successful, the proposed technology will be applied to the complex water treatment for SAGD processes. This will help Cenovus improve the energy and water recycling efficiency within its SAGD operations.**

SAIT提议与Cenovus Energy Inc.合作。在一个研究项目，以改善金属氧化物纳米粒子涂层膜技术的水-油分离蒸汽辅助重力泄油（SAGD）采油作业。Cenovus先前发起并与德克萨斯A&M大学（TAMU）合作，研究利用不同表面润湿性作为水和油分离机制的膜技术。在拟议的项目中，SAIT将提供研究专业知识和资源，以开发基于TAMU-Cenovus技术的新膜原型。SAIT还将实施与高温和高压SAGD条件相一致的实验，对膜原型进行工艺测试，以评估新膜的水油分离性能。如果成功，该技术将应用于SAGD工艺的复杂水处理。这将有助于Cenovus提高其SAGD运营中的能源和水循环效率。
