Oil sands make up some of the largest oil deposits in the world today, and that makes them a valuable resource worldwide. The problem, though, is that the technology involved with recovering oil in these difficult conditions is massive. Komax continues to strive to be a leader in oil sands technology, and currently, we offer several products that can help. Here are a few.

• Teflon and Kynar Lined Static Mixers: Designed to meet all of your acid mixing needs, these corrosion resistant mixers are ideal when aggressive chemicals and acids are involved. Our standard line runs from one to 24″ in diameter, but we can customize one to better meet your needs. They also come in 40 carbon steel and 316L S.S. housings.
• Inline Steam Heater: Dealing with bitumen froth and gland water is a little easier with this inline steam heater. It offers a heating efficiency rating of close to 100%, and it has many features others just don’t. The initial price tag is fairly low, and you’ll find greatly reduced noise, water hammer, and vibration levels with this product.
• Severe Duty Inline Steam Heater: While our Inline Steam Heater is one of the best in the market today, sometimes you just need something a little tougher, and that’s certainly true when it comes to tailings solvent recovery. Our severe duty model was made specifically to optimize the oil sands separation process, in the harshest operating conditions out there. Our innovations mean you can take advantage of higher thermal efficiency ratings and instant controllability.
• Scepter™ Tank Heater: Tank steam heating is far easier with this piece of equipment than you ever imagined. You’ll get the perfect temperature every time as well as customizable pipe sizes and mounting hardware.

The oil sands will only continue to play an important role in oil production today, and Komax will develop new technologies along the way to make things easier for the companies involved.
