The Northern Alberta Institute of Technology (NAIT) Centre for Oil Sands Sustainability (COSS), established in 2010, collaborates with industry to validate and optimize innovative technologies with the potential to enhance the environmental and economic performance of Canada's oil sands. COSS in collaboration with Pipeline Research Council International, TransCanada, and Enbridge will study the feasibility of solvent replacement for the current methods of sediment and water content determination in crude samples. This study includes extensive literature review to screen promising solvents, evaluation of alternative solvents to replace toluene used for the current centrifuge method for sediment and water determination of light and heavy crudes. The goal is to reduce the risks of prolonged exposure to toxic and hazardous solvents for frontline workers, decrease the disposal load of hazardous liquid waste, and reduce potential environmental contamination.

北阿尔伯塔理工学院 (NAIT) 油砂可持续发展中心 (COSS) 成立于 2010 年，与业界合作验证和优化具有提高加拿大油砂环境和经济绩效潜力的创新技术。 COSS 将与国际管道研究委员会、TransCanada 和 Enbridge 合作，研究用溶剂替代现有原油样品中沉积物和水含量测定方法的可行性。这项研究包括广泛的文献综述，以筛选有前途的溶剂，评估替代溶剂以替代目前用于轻质和重质原油沉积物和水分测定的离心方法中使用的甲苯。目标是降低一线工人长期接触有毒有害溶剂的风险，减少危险液体废物的处置负担，减少潜在的环境污染。
