Recent analytical advances have provided evidence that groundwater affected by oil sands process-affected water (OSPW) is reaching the Athabasca River at one location. To understand and discriminate toxicological risks posed OSPW-influenced relative to groundwaters associated with natural deposits, these highly complex mixtures of soluble organics were subjected characterization through effects...

Due to the demand for higher efficiency, gas engine designs are changing in that oils exposed thermal stress and face challenges regarding prevention of deposits. In this work, “oil chute” laboratory test was used study high-temperature deposit-formation tendency various paraffinic naphthenic base oil blends. The chute is a setup circulates through two different temperature zones, hot zone bein...
