The Technology Access Centre for Oil Sands Sustainability

拟议的油砂可持续发展技术获取中心(TACOSS)包括三个服务主题：1)促进获得油砂实践方面的技术专家和基础设施，如专门设施和油砂专家；2)通过短道课程和研讨会等活动将我们的知识应用于实践；以及3)通过促进技术开发人员和潜在用户之间的联系，提高业务协同能力。TAC的技术专业将包括：尾矿技术、工艺水处理、采矿开采和效率以及通过测量进行工艺优化。TAC将提供专门的研究和分析设施，包括用于开发新技术的大型试验设施。它还将通过继续开展与世界知名合作者的专门培训活动，向油砂从业人员部署现有和新技术，支持行业从业人员制定HQP计划，增强工艺优化方面的知识，以提高环境和经济的可持续性，并为连接新技术开发商和供应商，包括中小企业和本土企业提供一个平台。目标客户包括油砂公司和新技术开发商，包括尾矿、水处理、化学分析系统和萃取添加剂领域。

The proposed Technology Access Centre for Oil Sands Sustainability (TACOSS) encompasses three servicethemes: 1) facilitating Access to Technical Experts and Infrastructure, such as specialized facilities, and oilsands experts in oil sands practice; 2) bringing our Knowledge to Practice through engagements such as shortcourses and workshops; and 3) enhancing Business Synergy by catalyzing connectivity between technologydevelopers and potential users. Technical specialties of the TAC will include: Tailings Technology, ProcessWater Treatment, Mining Extraction and Efficiency, and Process Optimization through Measurement. TheTAC will provide access to specialized research and analytical facilities, including large-scale pilotingfacilities, for use in the development of new technologies. It will also enable the deployment of existing andnew technologies to oil sands practitioners through the continued development of specialized trainingengagements with world renowned collaborators, support the HQP development of industry practitionerswith enhanced knowledge on process optimization to increase environmental and economic sustainability, aswell as provide a platform for connecting new technology developers and vendors, including SMEs andindigenous owned enterprises. Target clients include oil sands companies and developers of new technologiesin the tailings, water treatment, chemical analysis systems and extraction additives areas.
